MS Alta - Galapagos Expedition Cruises
Very few feelings compare to that of a ship sailing through the water, with engines turned off and nothing but the sound of the wind hitting the sails and the hull breaking the water. M/S Alta is one of the few ships in Galapagos that can deliver this feeling. One of the most beautiful ships in the Galapagos, the MS Alta is ideal for travellers seeking exclusivity, style and uniqueness. When the conditions are appropriate, the sails will be hoisted, engines turned off and Alta will become one the most striking ships in the Galapagos.

The ship has the elegance and graceful lines of the 1900’s with the comfort and safety of today. This charming vessel features spacious staterooms, along with ample social areas – including inside and outside dining – yet is small and intimate enough for you to experience nature in an up-close and personal way. The vessel offers excellent service and beautiful accommodations while causing minimal impact on the environment.

M/Y Grace's stellar past includes ownership by millionaire tycoons like Sir George Tilley and Aristotle Onassis, a brief stint in the British Navy and acting as the vacation home of celebrities worldwide, including Winston Churchill. This yacht has traversed the waters of the world under many names, but she has been rechristened with a name that takes her back to her golden age.

With both bow and stern thrusters the ship can manoeuvre in and out of the most interesting places safely.

Voyages in Antarctica and the Arctic are exploratory and educational, spending as much time ashore as possible.
