Darwin's Discoveries: The Galapagos Islands (2026)

Ship

La Pinta

UnCruise Adventures

La Pinta The elegant, recently renovated La Pinta reflects the combined dreams shared by captains, crew, guides, and guests over the years. This beautiful 48-guest yacht features spacious cabins with floor-to-ceiling windows and sophisticated yet relaxed decks and lounges. In one of the world’s greatest marine environments, you can be sure your surroundings are front and center. From bow to stern, the elegant and sophisticated La Pinta recently received a full interior makeover and would steal the show anywhere less impressive. Instead, she’s the perfect complement to the great outdoors. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the lounge showcase the views with a décor that nods to the nautical. Geared up for adventure play and wildlife, the yacht also has a fun-to-explore expedition room lined with maps and artwork, a canopied terrace, and an alfresco dining area. Her Ecuadorian crew exudes friendliness, fueled by pride in their vessel, the Galapagos Islands, and a desire to share them both. Because some good things are too good to keep secret. The lounge features floor-to-ceiling windows, the library features historical materials, and the aft covered alfresco dining area also features the hot tub and bar. Perfection. The dining room features open seating. Meals are served at table at set times. Unlimited beverages, alcoholic and non, are included in the price of the cruise. Vegetarian options are always available. Dietary restrictions are happily accommodated with advance notice. Onboard Amenities Three public decks, an on-deck hot tub, exercise room with fitness equipment, expedition room along with an outdoor sky bar and observation lounge.

Onboard Life

Active Adventure

Each day brings opportunities to kayak through quiet inlets, paddle board past glaciers, hike old-growth forests, and snorkel reefs. Equipment and guides come standard — pick the activity, the boat carries the gear.

Wildlife Up Close

Small ships go where 200-passenger cruisers can't — close to humpback whales feeding in the Inside Passage, sea lions hauled out on rocks, and orcas hunting in narrow channels. Expedition leaders know the wildlife corridors by heart.

All-Inclusive Onboard

Every excursion, every meal, every drink (beer, wine, spirits), and every piece of expedition gear is included. No surprise charges at the end of the week — what you paid is what you paid.

Local & Sustainable Dining

Menus shift with where the ship is — Alaska salmon and king crab fresh off the boat, Hawaii poke and ahi caught that morning, organic produce from regional farms. Two seatings, family-style portions, dietary needs accommodated.
