Tourist Superior Class - Galapagos Cruises

V!VA User‘s Description

Tourist Superior Class is generally affordable and has comfortable ammenities like A/C and private baths. Boats in this class are not as fancy - you won't have as much space and extra luxuries like gourmet food, cushioned lounge chairs etc - but all your basic needs will be well taken care of.

Boats in this class are the following:

The Ahmara is a catamaran built by Philippe Jeantot, the champion around-the-world sailor. With capacity for eight passengers, this sailboat provides a private and comfortable atmosphere perfect for experiencing the thrill of navigating under sails.

The sixteen-passenger Aida Maria was designed to combine style, comfort, and efficiency. Eight double bunk cabins—each with outside access—are minimalist yet classy and equipped with private bath, hot shower, and air conditioning.

The Amazonia, also known as the Nemo II, is a large catamaran specially designed to take up to fourteen passengers in seven double cabins.

The Angelique is a stylish sailing yacht with capacity for sixteen passengers in eight double bunk cabins, each equipped with private facilities, hot water, and air conditioning.
