Santa Cruz II Galapagos Cruise Highlights

Exclusive Island Visits

Discover the Enchanted Isles the same way the early explorers did, with no other boats in sight! 99% of the visitor sites we tour and explore are not shared with other Galapagos cruises.

Multi-Guided

More guides onboard = smaller groups and a greater selection of activities each day. On average, our Expedition Groups consist of 11 guests per guide (far better than the 16-per-guide maximum established by the Galapagos National Park).

Privacy & Space

One of the top Guest-space Ratios of all Galapagos cruises (29.6:1), with numerous social areas and decks that allow for quiet contemplation, educational lectures, and socializing.

Exquisite Meals

Locally-sourced organic food, a Le Cordon Bleu–trained Gastronomy Director curates a wide variety of culinary options to accommodate all diets during your Galapagos vacation

A LOW-IMPACT CRUISE

Modern engine technology allows for lower fuel consumption. Onboard water desalination and treatment plants help preserve the precious seas of the Galapagos Islands. Recycling waste and efficient energy use are also an integral part of our journeys.

Safe & Competent

Our Galapagos cruise has an onboard medical officer (M.D.) and a well-equipped infirmary that’s available 24/7. So don’t worry about a thing, we’re there for you if you need any help!
