Alya
Alya Description
Explore the islands that inspired Charles Darwin's evolution theory and changed how we understand our planet aboard one of the newest and most comfortable catamarans to sail the Galapagos Islands – the M/C Alya.
Formerly named "Alia" the Alya has 4-day and 5-day itineraries and two options for 8-day itineraries that give you the perfect opportunity to discover the Islands by hiking, snorkeling, kayaking, or just relaxing on the fantastic, white sandy beaches. These activities will be directed by top bilingual naturalist guides who will share their extensive knowledge of the Islands with you. Social areas are ample and stylish, and meals are generally buffet-style and can cater to special dietary needs.
Alya Cabins
Launched in 2017, the Alya has nine cabins in total, and eight of them have private balconies to enjoy panoramic views of the Galapagos Islands. The spacious cabins have two twin beds that can be converted to queen-sized optionally. Each house has its private bathroom, independent climate control system, hairdryer, safe deposit box, luxury-class style, and amenities.
