Overview
The Santa Cruz II is a purpose-built, 235-foot expedition ship that provides an intimate and casual base for exploring the unique ecosystems of the Galápagos Islands. This vessel accommodates just 90 guests, ensuring ample space and a focus on nature immersion rather than formality. The small size, combined with a high crew-to-guest ratio, allows for personal service and flexible excursions to the islands' most exclusive landing sites.
Designed with comfort and exploration in mind, the ship offers a variety of amenities, including a well-equipped gym, two ocean-view hot tubs, and an outdoor Panorama Bar & Lounge. Guests can enjoy creative Ecuadorian and international cuisine in the Beagle Dining Room.
All 50 contemporary staterooms, including the spacious Darwin Suite, are exterior-facing, air-conditioned, and feature large picture windows, perfectly complementing your daily adventures amongst the extraordinary wildlife.
