Santa Cruz II Galapagos Cruise Highlights
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, and a wide variety of culinary options that accommodate all diets.
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. Recycling waste and efficient energy use are also an integral part of our journeys.
