About Santa Cruz

The Motor Vessel Santa Cruz was built exclusively for cruising in the Galapagos waters; in 1998 the ship was renovated, having been redesigned and refurbished inside and outside. The luxury ship Santa Cruz has gained reputation for its unique standards, including luxury service, professional crew members, category III multilingual naturalist/guides and menus that feature the very best international cuisine and celebrated Ecuadorian dishes with a capacity of ninety explorers.

Among the new features are two luxury master suites on the boat deck, each equipped with a double bed and a balcony, and two junior suites with twin beds that can be joined to make a large double bed, as well as six Santa Cruzsuperior class cabins with twin beds. All the cabins and bathrooms on deck have been renovated. Apart from that, the cabins now offer more choices among single, double, triple, and quadruple accomodation. Other new features include a lengthened sundeck, a new deck bar and a jacuzzi, as well as an observation deck for whale and dolphin watching.

The dining room, lounge and bar are elegantly appointed, as is the well-stocked library/reading room.

The entire ship is air-conditioned. A carefully planned itinerary includes the Galapagos' main highlights plus a flexible program allowing guests to enjoy several alternatives for their daily activities. In essence, an expedition to the best National Park, aboard the only ship exclusively built for exploring the Galapagos.

The capacity of this ship and the features it has, makes it perefect for your incetive tour cruise, conferences and group travel.

Weddings can also be performed on board the Santa Cruz with a phenomenal dining room and exclusive menus, at the same time an unforgettable honeymoon will be accommodated.
