The Colombia is one of two ships that make the trip up from Bellingham. I started with the Kennicott in Bellingham, which while 16 years newer, is not as elegant and passenger friendly as the Colombia. The Kennicott is a multi function boat designed to serve as a distaster relief command center (ie Exxon Valdez). Plus the Kennicott is rated for open water (ie Gulf of Alaska) and has a massive elevator in the aft designed for auto servicing remote villages like Yakutat subject to big tidal swings.
