The NG Quest offers cruising expedition explorations in North & Central America. With only 100 passengers, the Quest will provide an intimate cruising experience from Alaska to Belize. The Quest is being built locally on Whidbey Island by Nichols Brothers Boat Builders, making it the first expedition ship made entirely in the U.S. The Quest is being built with a designated mudroom for expedition gear. The ship will also feature 6 sets of connecting cabins for families and groups traveling together.
