Facilities and Accommodation
The 46-cabin M/V SANTA CRUZ, the only ship built exclusively for Galapagos Islands cruising, was completely renovated in 1998, having been redesigned and refurbished inside and out. On Boat Deck, there are two master suites with double beds and a private balcony, and two junior suites with twin beds. Four Superior-Class cabins have twin or double beds, that together with the remaining Standard Cabins on the Upper and Main decks offer a variety of accommodations, all meeting the same high standard for comfort and style. Family passengers have ample choice among single, double, triple and quad accommodations.
The Sun Deck features a bar and Jacuzzi, along with the observation platform for dolphin and whale watching. The dining room, lounge and bar are elegantly appointed, as is the well-stocked library/reading room. As an alternative to snorkeling, the glass-bottom boat offers another opportunity to observe the marine life. The entire ship is air-conditioned. |
