As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.
When traveling around our huge state, there are a number of very cool places to stay. Everything from original log cabin roadhouses, to luxury lodges or public service cabins. In Valdez, Alaska, you can find something a little bit different. This Alaska houseboat is a sailboat that will take you into some of the most beautiful nooks and crannies in the area!
Aurelia is an 80 foot schooner that can carry up to 12 passengers.
The Aurelia will moor in some of the most beautiful little coves and bays in Prince William Sound. After breakfast the guests are welcome to hop in a kayak and travel further!

Many of Alaska's most beautiful areas are completely remote.
In order to access them you must have access to a float plane or boat. The Aurelia allows you to check out hidden areas of the unspoiled Alaskan wilderness!
The sailboat is very spacious, with a large lounging area.
There is plenty of room around the dinner table for all of the guests on the schooner! As you have the option of renting the boat as a "bed and breakfast", this is an excellent perk in case it's raining and you'd rather eat inside.
The galley is large and well stocked with anything you may need.
All of them offer double occupancy, although the forward stateroom can be made up with an additional bunk for an adult or child. Prices vary for rooms, and you have the option to rent the entire sailboat as well!
Aurelia Charters also offers custom trips, depending on your schedule and what you would like to see!
They can even incorporate shore hikes, if you're interested. You can find out more on their website at www.schooneraurelia.com, or check out their Facebook page to see what they're up to each week!
