Since its keel was laid, La Pinta was destined to be the unrivaled queen of the Galapagos fleet. Our associates put their more than a half century of experience into designing a ship of great character, style, and comfort. From the family friendly possibility of interconnecting cabins to in room battery chargers, details large and small, La Pinta meets the most exacting environmental and hospitable standards. 8 staterooms with twin or double beds, 6 double staterooms interconnected for a total of 12 cabins with twin or double beds , 4 triple cabins with twin or double beds.

La Pinta’s ample staterooms provide Galapagos explorers with unparalleled comfort.

Six cabins are connected, for the convenience of families traveling together, and there are also 4 triple cabins of approximately 22 square meters (236 square feet).
