Introducing 'Archipell'

Archipell 1 and 2 are comfortable mid-range boats.

Each boat has a capacity of 16 passengers with one naturalist guide for each boat.

The route the two boats follow gives a good general view of the islands, depending which itineraries you choose.

The route is divided into 4 short itineraries that can be combined to make cruises of 3, 4 , 7, 10, 11 or 14 nights. So each 7 night cruise has one changeover day within it, the 10 and 11 night cruises have 2 changeover days, and the 14 night cruise has 3 changeover days.

Catamarans generally provide good levels of space and a comfortable stable ride.

 

Archipell offers 4 itineraries which can be taken individually or combined, making 16 possible cruise choices.
