Sarah Moranville - Galley/Steward/Admiral, fell in love with the magic and beauty of SE Alaska on numerous expeditions over the years. She retired as a full-time musician in 2022 to work shore support for a small cruise line in Alaska. This new opportunity to showcase SE Alaska and provide the small vessel experience while working alongside her life partner, Eric, makes this a perfect fit for the Alaska Quest.
