Galapagos Day 2009 Raffle

MS Alta

Star Prize: 7 nights on the M/S Alta

Each year, GCT holds a raffle - a vital element of our fundraising efforts. We are delighted to announce that once again we have secured a top prize of a 7-night trip to Galapagos, which has kindly been donated by our sponsors Discovery Initiatives. All flights and accommodation are included and the cruise is on one of the best boats in the islands (for further details, see below). Where else can you have the opportunity to win a holiday of a lifetime for just £1?

The winner in 2008, Jim Selby said when he heard the news that he held the lucky ticket 'We've never won anything like this before. I can't quite believe it yet!' The couple quickly booked their dream trip, with Discovery Initiatives, for this summer."

Please help us to break all records for this year's raffle by selling tickets to all of your friends and family, not forgetting to purchase some for yourself - you must be in it to win it!

We wish you all the best of luck in the draw, which will take place on Galapagos Day on the 15th September 2009.

Named Yacht of the Month in the past by Yachting Magazine, Alta is one of the most beautiful ships on the Islands, ideal for travellers seeking exclusivity, style and uniqueness. The ship is exceptionally stylish, with gorgeous detailing and furnishings and carries that grandeur and special charm proper to sailing ships. It provides much more outside space than other sailing ships of its kind in Galapagos and when conditions are appropriate, the sails are hoisted, engines turned off, and Alta becomes one of the most striking ships on the Islands.
