The first thing guests notice when stepping into the Discovery Lounge aboard the 84-guest Spirit of Discovery is light, air, and views — wide picture windows port and starboard, and a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows facing forward. Backing the delightful scene are a bar and library with exquisitely detailed woodworking.

Spirit of Discovery Top Features

This is one of Cruise West’s most popular vessels. Every category stateroom offers a wide view window, many of which open for you to enjoy fresh breezes. Ample outside deck space and easy access to the extra-roomy bow area are perfect spots to view the sights around you.

Our focus is always on the destination, so informality is key. After all, if there’s a whale spouting off the bow, dinner will just have to wait, and you don’t want to get whale spume on a tux!

When you’re on board, you’ll spend most of your waking hours in the spacious public areas. Unlike many other ships, on the Spirit of Discovery have open guest access to the bow area, giving you the best views. And of course, all the lounges and dining rooms feature large view windows, as do most of our staterooms.
