Alta

Ideal for those seeking exclusivity and uniqueness on their Galapagos cruise, Alta is very stylish with the special charm of a sailing ship. Alta is fitted with 8 tastefully decorated cabins that accommodate up to 16 passengers. Each cabin has ample hanging locker and drawer space as well as private facilities with hot water showers.

The main salon is inviting and comfortable, with a curving banquet and coffee table stand opposite a cabinet holding the TV/Video system. For meals, there are two alternatives: the interior the dining salon or al fresco on the foredeck.

Alta offers a sundeck with lounge chairs just forward of the bridge and another with cushions on the bow of the yacht.

Ship Information

Notes : Please add $175 for Active departures on a 10 day tour. The romance of the Alta comes from being a single hulled sailing vessel. The interesting architecture of her cabins makes the most of the available space, providing an authentic, yet comfortable experience. Even with all the amenities, individual cabin space aboard a sailing vessel can feel limited. If you require something more spacious we recommend taking a look at the larger cabins and suites on our other yachts so we can find the best fit for your needs.
