Itinerary
MS SANTA CRUZ II
MS Santa Cruz II operates fully carbon natural cruises and boasts an excellent range of facilities, with expansive and spacious social areas such as the Panorama bar in which to unwind, lecture and the Expedition Lounge and library, perfect to learn about the on board science activities. Excursions are led by expert naturalist guides and take place at exclusive visitor sites, meaning ship guests often have the place to themselves. MS Santa Cruz II is also one of the few vessels operating in The Galápagos equipped with a full range of exploration tools, including dinghies, kayaks, snorkelling gear, paddleboards and there is even a glass-bottom boat.
