Detailed Trip Description

Some passengers like the feel of a big ship, and a big trip. Accommodating ninety passengers in forty-eight cabins, the Santa Cruz offers big sailing for your Galapagos cruise. Passengers have their choice of suites or double, all complete with private facilities. The fully air-conditioned Santa Cruz offers a twenty-four hour medical staff on board; naturalist specialist multilingual guides; multimedia natural history lectures and library; a stargazing program for those most interested in astronomy; well-appointed and spacious social areas for meeting and greeting other passengers; simply the most fantastic cuisine with a full bar and lounge. Tired of all the rest and enjoyment? Pamper yourself and relax even further in the Jacuzzi; experience both an aromatherapy and massage center. The ship boasts its own snorkeling equipment. Itineraries highlight the main features of the Galapagos with flexible programs that allow passengers to choose between shorter or longer hikes, zodiac cruises off the ship, glass-bottom boat rides to explore the ocean bottom, snorkeling activities, and much more. Everything is planned to ensure the continued preservation of this unique Galapagos ecosystem and to highlight your enjoyment of these fascinating islands.
