The Galapagos Islands
Never to judge a book by its cover, we've found that the Santa Cruz's plain exterior is more than compensated for with its first class service, guides and onboard facilities. This is our favourite large vessel operating in the Galapagos.
The MV Santa Cruz is one of the larger vessels operating in the Galapagos making it perfect for anyone who may suffer from a bit of sea sickness.
She carries 90 passengers in a variety of bright cabins located on three decks. The main and upper decks house identical twin-bedded cabins with a large porthole, air-conditioning and en suite facilities.
On the top 'Boat Deck' there is a vast array of Standard, Superior and Superior Plus cabins which are titled on their size, position on the deck and the type of windows they have.
There are also two single occupancy cabins, a couple of large Junior Suites with floor to ceiling windows as well as two Master Suites at the very back of the boat with private balconies.
Communal facilities include a large saloon, dining room, bar, gift shop and small library. On deck there is a large, partially-covered sun deck with Jacuzzi and al fresco bar. Limited gym equipment is also provided on deck and there is a full time doctor on board.
