Seeing the Galapagos Islands on board the La Pinta goes beyond the concept of traditional cruising. In order to authentically discover and explore the natural wonders of this region, the cruise has evolved into more of an expedition.

Built in 2008, the La Pinta yacht features snorkeling equipment, wetsuits, and kayaks for guests. When not out exploring the varied landscapes and wildlife of the Galapagos Islands, you can work out in the fitness center or relax on the Sun Deck. La Pinta's expert crew and knowledgeable multilingual naturalist/guides delight passengers with diverse natural history explanations, fascinating lectures, and superb on-deck talks. The 24 staterooms are outside cabins and feature air conditioning, private bathrooms, hair dryers, and safety deposit boxes.

Avalon understands that great accommodations and amenities are an integral part of the perfect vacation. That's why we care about the little things that make a big difference in enhancing your journey.
