Indoors and out, the Santa Cruz II offers handsome installations that make the most of the Galápagos, ensuring your stay on board will perfectly complement the day’s outings. On the Sky Deck, guests can relax and enjoy the sunshine on the sun deck/solarium or exercise in the fitness room outfitted with treadmills. On the Panorama Deck, guests can relish the equatorial outdoors on the aft terrace, which doubles as an area for barbeques and al-fresco dining. The large bar/lounge offers a relaxing area to unwind amid the Santa Cruz’s convivial atmosphere.
On the Expedition Deck, our guides will welcome you to an ample reading room and natural history library, with up-to-date technology for presentations on the geology, biology, and history of Darwin’s fabled Laboratory of Evolution. Facing the prow, it’s a fantastic, calm place to view the beauty of the archipelago in a climate-controlled environment. An open multi-purpose room on the deck’s starboard side is available for children’s programs and other events. The aft features twin Jacuzzis. On the Horizon Deck, besides Explorer cabins, you will find the gift shop, reception area and the infirmary, where a medical doctor is on call 24/7. The Beagle Restaurant is located to the aft on the Ocean Deck.
Modern engine technology allows for lower fuel consumption. Onboard water desalination and treatment plants help preserve the precious seas of the archipelago.
