Location
This 64m luxury vessel, complete with a crew of 31 (4 of whom are professional naturalists) can be found hopping between the Galapagos Islands on 4-night and 6-night adventures starting from Baltra.
Accommodation
A maximum of 48 voyagers are accommodated in 24 cabins, all located on the upper deck. It says much that there are no standard cabins; 20 are ‘Luxury’ and four are ‘Luxury Plus’, and we would concur.
All cabins are exceptionally comfortable and spacious. In addition to excellent ensuite bathrooms, air conditioning, a desk and an in-room sound system, the cabins all have large windows for you to experience the very best views of the islands.
There is plenty of space on the boat, so you can easily socialise or find a quiet spot to relax, and enjoy the view. There are several lounge areas, a covered observation deck and bar towards the bow, sun decks, and plenty of al fresco dining options.

At the stern is the outdoor Sky Bar with sun-loungers and jacuzzi. Near the cozy well-stocked library is a gym which has a particularly good panoramic window that will motivate you to finish your workout.
Each evening, the lounge area is transformed into the location for naturalist briefings that will enable you to get the very most out of your adventure in the Galapagos Islands.
The atmosphere and ethos of the vessel comes through in the dining experience, which has a good blend of excellent quality and service but enjoyed in a relaxed manner. There’s no starchy pretentiousness here. Food is plentiful and exciting, with options to suit every taste, though we would urge you to try any Ecuadorian specialities on offer.

Experiences
- Help yourself to snorkelling gear so that you can have a close-up experience of the plenitude of the chilly mineral-rich Galapagos waters. Alternatively, use one of the guest kayaks.
- The vessel’s glass-bottom boat will give you crystal-clear (and comfortably dry) views of the creatures of the Pacific. With luck, you will see manta rays, turtles, underwater penguins and possibly dolphins.
- Go ashore in a Zodiac in the company of one of the expert guides. They will show you the wonders of the ecosystem whilst ensuring you do so with minimal impact.
- The Sky Bar at the stern is well-named as a location to enjoy the majesty of the night-time heavens.
- Get the shoulder muscles aching with a paddleboard excursion. You may be accompanied by seals and marine iguanas.
