If you’re looking for some special Galapagos cruise holidays, the La Pinta luxury cruise ship may be the perfect vessel for you. Built for 48 passengers, she is a delightful mid-size yacht offering an exclusive, intimate experience of the islands. She is small enough for you to get to know everyone and large enough to find personal space as well as to offer you numerous top facilities and services such as: a spacious sundeck with jacuzzi, bar, sun loungers, and outdoor eating area for post-outing snacks; a lounge with modern briefing equipment; a gym; a 24/7 coffee/snack station; and, of course, all of the equipment you need for adventure – including kayaks, snorkel equipment and wetsuits (free of charge), zodiacs, and even a glass-bottom boat. The stellar crew includes top naval officers serving as capitan and first-mate, Level III naturalist guides, and even a doctor on board. Service is fabulous overall and includes numerous special surprise touches over the course of the cruise. The focus on safety is clear and everyone will be made to feel at home – including kids and people with special dietary needs – vegetarian and children’s options are easily available, and the food overall is varied, delicious and well-presented.

All 24 cabins are found on the Cabin Deck. The ship boasts 20 Luxury Cabins in either two-twin or 1 double formats, and 4 Luxury Plus Cabins (Triples). Beds can be separated or joined in all of the cabins and 4 cabins can be interconnected. La Pinta cruise comments show that guests appreciate the panoramic, floor-to-ceiling windows, the large showers, the bathroom amenities, the comfortable beds and linens, and – as an added plus, the clothes dryer they can access to keep their expedition outfits dry.
