Galapagos Islands - SANTA CRUZ
 Category: Ship
Class: Deluxe
Duration: 3, 4 or 7 nts
The 90-passenger ship M/V SANTA CRUZ was built exclusively for Galapagos Islands cruising. She was completely renovated in 1998 and continues to see new improvements after each annual dry dock. The SANTA CRUZ has gained worldwide recognition for its excellent standards, superb service, expert crew, knowledgeable multilingual naturalist/guides and menus that feature the very best international cuisine and Ecuadorian dishes. The Sun Deck features a bar and Jacuzzi, along with the observation platform for dolphin and whale watching. The dining room, lounge and bar are elegantly appointed, as is the well-stocked library/reading room. As an alternative to snorkelling, the glass-bottom boat offers another opportunity to observe the marine life.
