About Santa Cruz
Built exclusively for Galapagos Islands tours, the M/V Santa Cruz was completely redesigned in 1998, adding to the ship's high standard of accommodation.
Among the new features are two luxury master suites on the boat deck, each equipped with a double bed and a balcony, and two junior suites with twin beds that can be joined to form a large double, as well as six 
superior class cabins with twin beds. All the cabins and bathrooms on deck have been renovated. Apart from that, the cabins now offer more choices among single, double, triple, and quadruple accomodation. Other new features include a lengthened sundeck, a new deck bar and a jacuzzi, as well as an observation deck for whale and dolphin watching.
The dining room, lounge, and bar have been elegantly remodeled and there is a new reading room and a spanking new library.
Our six naturalist guides will teach our passengers every-
thing they want to know about the islands. Through our glass-bottomed boat, guests will acquire first-hand knowledge of sub marine life.
