MS SPIRIT OF YORKTOWN
The 138-passenger Spirit of Yorktown offers an intimate ambience that is conducive to amaraderie in a spirit of adventureand discovery. Measuring 257 feet long, 43 feet wide, and with a draft of just eight feet, the Spirit of Yorktown was specifically designed for cruising in coastal waters; the ship’s easy maneuverability and shallow draft enable exploration of secluded waterways beyond the reach of bigger ships. A fleet of motorized landing craft can be launched in minutes for spontaneous landings on small islands and deserted beaches. The spacious Observation Lounge and elegant dining salon are window-lined so that the outside world is always in view. American cuisine—served in leisurely single seatings—is healthful and nutritious, influenced by regional culinary traditions and prepared freshly to order. An onboard naturalist and historian explain and recap each day's events in informal talks.
