Discover the soul of boutique cruises: interviews with Pedro Costa
At Alma Cruceros, I want to redefine the concept of sea travel, combining tradition and modernity in a unique experience. We recently had the pleasure of hearing from Pedro Costa, commercial vice president of my shipping company, in an interview for enComunicación. Here are some of the highlights of this interview, revealing my vision and passion for offering boutique cruises of unparalleled quality.
At the heart of my boutique cruise line: innovation and tradition
From the beginning of the interview, Pedro highlighted the essence of Alma Cruceros: a boutique cruise line from Spain. My mission is to offer exceptional service on boutique ships, where every guest can feel at home. "We are developing our product very carefully," Pedro explained. "We want our guests to enjoy good service, good food and the intimacy of a small boat, halfway between a cruise and a yacht."
Unique and sustainable state-of-the-art cruise experiences
One of the most innovative aspects of my cruises is sustainability. At Alma, I offer you one of the most ecological boats in the world, thanks to its inverted bow that cuts through the water instead of displacing it, reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Pedro emphasized: "We take care of the sea. When it comes down to it, without the sea, cruises don't work."
My itineraries are carefully designed to offer an exclusive, boutique view of popular destinations. From Malaga to the Moroccan coast, passing through Doñana Natural Park and Seville, each route is designed to surprise and enchant. "We want our guests to have immersive experiences in places that they think they already know, presented in a different way," Pedro said.
Personalized and attentive service
At Alma Cruceros, I offer a highly personalized service. With capacity for only 190 passengers and more than 100 crew members, I can guarantee that every guest will receive top quality attention. "Our guests will feel better than they do at home. They immediately know you by name and you can enjoy your privacy," said Pedro.
Looking towards a future of boutique cruises with Alma
My commitment to excellence is reflected not only in my current services, but also in our future plans. Pedro enthusiastically shared that "the idea of Alma Cruceros is not to stick to just this ship. In three or four years, we expect to have two or three more ships, offering new itineraries and adventures."
Alma Cruceros is positioned as a boutique and sustainable option for sea lovers looking for an exclusive and personalized experience. I am excited to invite you to explore the world with me, where every detail is designed with soul and passion.
decruceros.es also echoed the launch of Alma Cruceros, the first Spanish boutique cruise company
Meanwhile, decruceros.es, a website specializing in news and cruise offers around the world, interviewed Pedro Costa, vice president of Alma Cruceros. An interview in which all the details surrounding the Alma Cruceros boutique experience were revealed.
It emphasized the paramount importance of sustainability when choosing the company's first ship, Ocean Victory, which has a design that allows it to boast one of the lowest CO2 indices per guest on the planet. A mix of cruise and yacht so that each of the guests feels important and enjoys the concept of a "slow cruise" without haste and with long itineraries that allow you to savour an unparalleled boutique experience. As Pedro Costa says, unlike other shipping companies, everything is designed and suitable for Spanish or Spanish-speaking guests, from staff and itineraries to schedules and activities, which is why we can say that Alma Cruceros thinks like you.
Finally, it was confirmed that by the end of June, tickets will go on sale for the Alma Cruceros boutique experiences, and the company's first cruise ship will depart from Las Palmas on April 18, 2025, heading for Malaga, where an exciting event will be held to welcome the ship. The boutique shipping company already has plans to expand to other regions in the coming years to continue offering equally unique experiences beyond the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts.
