M/C Athala Luxury Cruise
Boat
.
On the M/C Athala you will have
more space, more luxury, cover more distances and visit more
islands than on any other boat of its size. Our
yacht visits 11 different islands and a total of 22 separate
sites during an 8-day cruise!
.
Imagine
yourself swimming and snorkling with playful sea lions, speedy
penguins and spectacularly-colored fish. Observe the
prehistoric-looking iguanas, the exotic winged animals like
the blue-footed booby and the great frigatebird, and the
ancient, gigantic Galapagos turtles. We
guarantee you an experience like no other you have ever
known.
.
Some of
our trips include an overnight stay at the 5-star Silberstein Hotel in Puerto Ayora. No other cruise company
offers this combination, which will allow you to spend more
time at sea and have extra time to explore the cozy port town
of Puerto Ayora, with itsCharles Darwin Research Center and the highlands of
Santa
Cruz with its giant turtles. In Puerto Ayora you can
relax at the hotel�s swimming pool, explore the town, eat at
gourmet restaurants and take a walk to Tortuga
Bay,
which is one of the most fantastic beaches in the world. At
this beach you will likely see more iguanas and sea lions than
tourists!
.
It is
said that Galapagos is perhaps the last great natural paradise
remaining in the world in a near-pristine condition. Join our cruise and
discover this unique oasis on the world�s equator that has
been consistently rated among the top three tourist sites in
the world by leading travel books and
magazines.
Contact
your local travel agency once you are ready to book your
cruise. Your agent will help you
with further information about the M/C Athala and the
islands.
.
We hope
to see you here in Galapagos soon! .
