Alya Catamaran is designed for travelers who want a refined Galapagos cruise experience without losing the intimacy of a small expedition vessel. Its twin hull design provides greater stability than a traditional monohull yacht, making it suitable for couples, families, and travelers looking for comfort between daily wildlife excursions.
The onboard experience focuses on open social areas, elegant cabins, ocean views, and outdoor relaxation. Most cabins include private balconies, and the vessel commonly features a sundeck, bar areas, jacuzzi, dining room, lounge, and spaces for briefings after daily excursions.
Alya operates Galapagos routes that commonly include central, northern, western, and southern visitor sites. Published routes can include Santa Cruz, Isabela, Fernandina, Santiago, Genovesa, Española, Floreana, Bartolomé, North Seymour, South Plaza, and San Cristóbal, depending on the itinerary and Galapagos National Park regulations.
With 3 different itineraries to choose from, Alya Catamaran allows you to explore the Galapagos your way.
