This 48-passenger expedition ship is one of the nicest ships in the Galapagos - she is truly charming. Upon boarding, passengers come into a stylishly decorated reception area that has a Colonial feel with lots of wood and windows. The aft deck has covered areas, used for dining, as well as a heated pool and an outdoor Jacuzzi. The library is spacious and well stocked. There are several types of cabins – from standard staterooms to suites, which can accommodate 1-3 people. Some suites feature bathtubs, and complimentary robes. The ship’s guides and itinerary are excellent, and the service on board is superior. Recreational equipment onboard: snorkeling gear (included in price), wet suits (additional cost in 2006; complimentary in 2007).
