Overview: The 12-passenger Catalyst is a historic wooden vessel that offers a unique cruise experience in the sheltered Inside Passage of southeast Alaska and the Pacific Northwest. Originally an ocean research vessel for the University of Washington, she was “built to last,” constructed of white oak, Alaskan yellow cedar, Douglas fir, teak and Australian ironwood. Since her research days, she has been thoughtfully restored true to her 30's heritage. Classic accommodations include cozy, private staterooms, a spacious galley, and a warm wood-paneled salon.

Cabin Description: Accommodating up to 12 passengers, the Pacific Catalyst II includes six private staterooms. Lower deck cabins share one washroom with shower. There is a second washroom on the upper deck next to the main salon. Cabins 1-3 and 6 are double cabins; cabin 4 is a single, and cabin 5 sleeps up to four; cabins 1 and 6 have private facilities with showers; cabins 2, 3, 4, and 5 share facilities.
