Step aboard Liseron and explore the vessel not just as it is today, but as part of a living maritime history. Every deck and compartment reflects a tradition of seafaring where function meets endurance, and design is guided by generations of knowledge. Move through Liseron’s spaces while connecting them to the history that inspired them, revealing how the past continues to shape life aboard today.
Liseron is designed vertically as much as it is horizontally. Each deck offers a different perspective of the journey –
closer to the water, closer to the horizon, or closer to the breathtaking views.
Fantail
A refined dining space framed by the vessel’s beautifully restored historic woodwork is located aft on the fantail. Enclosed and comfortably heated for year-round comfort, it preserves its connection to the ship’s heritage while offering sweeping, uninterrupted views to enhance each meal.
The Salon
The main salon, featuring a full bar, serves as a welcoming central gathering space where guests can relax and connect. Rooted in Liseron’s maritime tradition of shared shipboard life, it is designed for moments of community. Whether enjoying films, reading, playing games, socializing, or attending engaging presentations you’ll enjoy your time in the salon.
Crew Mess & Galley
The Crew Mess & Galley aboard Liseron serve as the heart of daily life on board, where meals are prepared, stories are shared, and routines take shape. Designed with both function and comfort in mind, these spaces reflect the practical craftsmanship found throughout the vessel while highlighting the importance of community at sea.
Skiffs
The skiffs aboard Liseron have long played a vital role in the vessel’s daily life, serving as a reliable link between ship and shore. Rooted in maritime tradition, they offer both function and freedom being used for transport, exploration, and reaching places beyond the ship’s path. Today, they continue that legacy, providing a seamless way to experience the water with both purpose and ease.
Staterooms
Liseron offers 10 guest cabins thoughtfully appointed within her restored historic hull. Each stateroom is designed to reflect the vessel’s maritime heritage while providing modern comfort. Every cabin accommodates up to two guests with a queen lower berth and twin upper bunk.
Each stateroom includes a private en-suite bath with a stall shower, along with a double wardrobe and multiple storage drawers for extended cruising. Screened doors allow fresh sea air while maintaining comfort and privacy. Modern amenities are seamlessly integrated, including climate control, standard AC outlets, and carefully selected provisions such as binoculars and flashlights to enhance the onboard experience.
Guests are also provided with plush towels, linens, a hair dryer, and premium shampoo and conditioner ensuring comfort aboard this storied vessel without compromising its timeless, nautical character.
Observation Lounge
The Observation Lounge aboard Liseron was thoughtfully designed as a place to slow down and take in the journey. Surrounded by expansive windows and natural light, the space offers uninterrupted views of sea and sky, creating a calm setting for quiet reflection or easy conversation. It remains a refined, inviting retreat where Liseron’s heritage and the experience of life on the water come together.
Kayaks
The Wheelhouse
Perched above the deck with sweeping views in every direction, the wheelhouse (pilot house) is the heart and mind of Liseron. From this vantage point, charts are studied, decisions are made, and every journey begins. Thoughtfully preserved, the wheelhouse reflects both the craftsmanship of her past and the purpose of her present. Liseron’s Wheelhouse offers a glimpse into the daily rhythm of life at sea and the steady hands that guide Liseron forward.
Life aboard Liseron is intentionally small-scale, relaxed, and deeply connected
to the landscape around you.
With just 20 guests, the ship feels more like a private expedition than a cruise.
Mornings often begin with coffee in hand as mist lifts from forested shorelines. By midday, the day is shaped by exploration: kayaking through glassy inlets, hiking through old-growth rainforest, or watching for
whales and seals from the deck.
Evenings are slower. Guests gather in the salon or aft deck, sharing stories from the day as the vessel anchors in quiet, protected waters.
“Today, she moves through the Tongass not for war, but for understanding. A place where history meets purpose.”
