ALTA - Luxury Galapagos Cruises

Alta is ideal for those seeking exclusivity, style and uniqueness. It is very stylish, has exceptional detailing, furnishings, and carries that special romantic charm that can only be found with a sailing ship. Built in Norway, the Alta is one of the finest ships to have graced the waters of the Galapagos. Having previously been named yacht of the month in the past by Yachting Magazine it's no wonder that Alta is a favorite choice for private charters.

A three masted staysail schooner, there is nothing that can compare to the feeling of freedom and joy when the engines are turned off, wind hits the sails, and the hull breaks the water. As you gaze off into the waters to see dolphins riding the waves along the bow.

One of the most beautiful ships in all of Galapagos the interior is finally matched to the beauty of the exterior. The main salon is both elegant and inviting. The curved banquet provides seating for all aboard and it's the perfect meeting spot to enjoy a cold beverage while discussing your next days activities with your guide.

At meal time you will enjoy the finest cuisine at either the elegant dining room with it's large picture windows, which seats all 16 and 4 tables or their is the large al fresco dinning table on the foredeck. After your meal the best way to relax and take in the scenery is either in one of the lounge chair located on the upper deck forward of the bridge, with cushions on the bow of the yacht at the shade area near the stern.
