The ship has been refurbished throughout. There are two lounges, a library, an outside small swimming pool, exercise room, hairdresser and a full sun deck with a jogging track. The Captain and his officers maintain an open bridge to give passengers an opportunity to observe and ask questions. Lecturers accompany all voyages to enhance the passengers enjoyment of the places visited. A fleet of zodiac landing craft can be launched in minutes to take passengers ashore in places where no infrastructure exists.
Fares vary greatly for different cruises because of the uniqueness of the destinations.
Fares include port charges. Shore excursions are often included in the fare, especially where English is not the primary language of the country. All zodiac exploration is included in the cost of the cruise. An air credit is given if making own air arrangements. Typically, the Nantucket Clipper cruises the Caribbean from December through February, the East Coast of the U.S. in March, April, May, October, and November, including the Antebellum South, and Chesapeake Bay, and cruises the Hudson River area in September and October.
