This ship, built in Sweden, was formerly coined El Niño and is now known by the name of Sagitta. Just to watch this 3-mast sailing ship is an impressive site. With spacious cabins located on two decks, she also hosts a conference room and a library with videos and books, perfect for nightly meetings. Other facilities include an extremely spacious upper deck, ideal for bird or dolphin watching, stargazing, or sunbathing. There is also a salon, a bar, and a shaded "al fresco" dining area.
