Overview

The Santa Cruz II Galapagos cruise yacht is the largest passenger vessel cruising the Galapagos Islands. Accommodating up to 90 guests this makes for an ideal option for larger groups, with cabin options for one, two, or three people and a few interconnected rooms for families. The ship is modern, with five large decks where you will find various communal areas including a full-service bar, jacuzzi, fitness room, sun decks, and a discovery room.

Though its a larger ship, you still get personalized attention from your guide and crew. On average we have 1 naturalist guide for every 11 guests on board, and overall ratio of 3:2 guests to crew members, including a medical officer.
