Custom Alaska Cruises Launches New Private Yacht Charter

JUNEAU, Alaska, Dec. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Custom Alaska Cruises proudly announces the launch of their new yacht, the Golden Eagle. The addition coincides with the opening of registration for the 2020 Inside Passage cruise season, which runs from June 13 to September 18.

Along with its sister ship, the Sikumi, the Golden Eagle continues Custom Alaska Cruise's tradition of Alaska small ship cruises that strike a perfect balance between on-board luxury and adventurous excursions.

Four roomy and comfortable staterooms, including full en-suite bathroom and showers, accommodate up to 12 guests. A large salon and separate wet bar allow plenty of opportunities for on-board relaxation, and guests are invited to join the captain atop the fully enclosed flybridge.

The experienced captains aboard, lead a seasoned crew, including a helpful steward, a five-star chef, and First Mate and deckhand/naturalist, whose extensive knowledge of Alaska's waters and inlands, guides even the most adventurous travelers to experiences that other cruise lines sail past.

Those experiences include treks into the forested inlands, kayaking in Alaska's renowned fjords, and family fun fishing opportunities, both ashore and on-board. All are included in the price of each trip, allowing guests to create custom itineraries tailored precisely to their interests.

"We believe that a cruise should be exactly what our guests want it to be," notes Custom Alaska Cruises President and CEO Chelsea McCarthy. "That's why our fleet consists of smaller, more nimble ships: we bring our guests to the places they want to experience, not just past them. And we do it with a warmth and attention to detail that makes our vessels welcome places to return after a long day's exploration, the comfort of home away from home."

Guests needn't leave the upper deck to enjoy unmatched sightings of whales, porpoises (including orcas), seals, otters, and migratory birds. Those who venture off the Sikumi or Golden Eagle for kayaking, beachcombing, or hiking might chance upon bears, Sitka Blacktail Deer, the famous Bald Eagles, Sea life, porcupines and more. Pick wild blueberries, salmon berries, edible flowers, wild edible mushrooms that are chef will expertly prepare for you.

"Guests often return to the ship with some fish, crab or shrimp they've caught, or with berries and mushrooms they've gathered in the forest," says McCarthy. "And our chef is always ready. One of the highlights of the entire cruise for many guests is sitting down after a long, exciting day to a meal made from ingredients they caught or gathered themselves."
It all adds up to the most intimate and memorable Alaska cruise experience possible.

"An Alaska cruise tends not to be a snap decision," notes McCarthy. "We know that our guests have spent months, often years, dreaming of their trip and planning for it. We're ready to honor those dreams and to help our guests create memories that last a lifetime."
