Galapagos Cruises and Tours

Sagitta

The graceful and spacious three-masted sailing-ship SAGITTA is a 120-foot steel-hulled vessel of great sturdiness.

Rebuilt for 16 guests and crew, she offers ten double air-conditioned cabins with one double-lower and one single-upper berth each. Every cabin has its own en-suite bathroom with hot water showers.

This sailing-ship boasts a homely salon/bar, a comfortable dining room, an isolated conference room with library/entertainment center, and an additional dining facility "al fresco." Flush and ample deck space makes her truly a great vessel for Island cruising.

"The food was excellent, the ship was beautiful and incredibly well-kept, the crew was first class all of the way and we completely enjoyed our tour. Our naturalist guide was excellent. Everything was incredible and we could not have enjoyed it more. I am thinking of booking a return trip with my mother on the Sagitta for next year." - Cindy Williams, Peru
