M/S Diamante
Galapagos,Galapagos islands,Galapgos trip,Galapagos Travel

M/S Diamante is the perfect answer to the needs of a small sized group or family.  If it is a natural and romantic setting you envisioned, you could not have wished for a better classic yacht. She can accommodate up to 12 passengers in 6 double cabins tastefully furnished with mahogany and teak paneling. All cabins have private facilities.

This yacht has air-conditioning, hot water, one mini-bar, a small library, VCR and music sound-system. There is a cozy yet ample saloon/dinette that invites you to read, chat or attend the briefings or lectures given by the naturalist-guide. The boat offers a fine facility for topside meals “under-the-canopy” on her stern deck
