M/S Alta

Dinning. Cabin. Lounge.

Alta is ideal for travelers who seek exclusively and uniqueness. Alta is fitted with 8 tastefully decorated cabins that accommodate up to 16 passengers. All cabins have ample hanging locker and drawer space. Each cabin has their private facilities with fresh hot- and cold-water showers. The main salon is very elegant and inviting. A curving banquette and coffee table stand opposite a cabinet holding the TV/Video system. At mealtimes, there are two alternatives: inside, in the dining salon, which seats sixteen in four tables; or al fresco, on the foredeck. The gourmet gallery is equipped to prepare the finest dishes. Alta offers many spots for relaxing or sunning, including a sundeck with lounge chairs just forward of the bridge, and another with cushions on the bow of the yacht. When the conditions are appropriate, the sails will be hoisted and Alta will become one of the most beautiful yachts in the Galapagos.
