M/V SANTA CRUZ
Overview
Seeing the Galapagos Islands on board the M/V Santa Cruz goes beyond the concept
of traditional cruising, evolving into an expedition approach in order to authentically
discover and explore the natural wonders of this region. The M/V Santa Cruz is built
to luxurious standards and encourages an elegant yet relaxed atmosphere. The 43-stateroom
M/V Santa Cruz features a Jacuzzi and an observation platform for dolphin and whale
watching on the top deck. The ship’s dining room, lounge, and bar are elegantly
appointed, as is the well-stocked library/reading room. All staterooms are outside
and feature air-conditioning, private bathrooms, hairdryers, and safety deposit
boxes. The M/V Santa Cruz accommodates 90 passengers. The M/V Santa Cruz has gained
worldwide recognition for its excellent standards, including superb service, expert
crew, the most knowledgeable multilingual naturalist/guides, and menus that feature
the very best international cuisine and celebrated Ecuadorian dishes.
