Expedition Ship Eclipse

We first ventured to the Galapagos in 1998 as expedition leaders and we have been enjoying this marvelous destination ever since. Our journey for November of 2012 promises to be the best yet as we have chartered the luxurious 48-guest ship, MV Eclipse, our favourite Galapagos vessel by far.

Affectionately called “Eclipse”, She has achieved numerous expedition firsts throughout the Galapagos. Her modern navigation and safety equipment allow us to venture safely into remote bays and sensitive areas without disruption. Eclipse has been refurbished to accommodate a maximum of 48 passengers for our trip in 25 comfortable twin cabins, single cabins and suites. Eclipse is a luxury vessel that is very well appointed and provides loads of deck space for relaxing and an open bridge policy. The fleet of inflatable Zodiac boats ensures superb landings and wildlife viewing opportunities at every turn.

All cabins include a desk and ample storage space. Public areas feature a lovely dining room (one sitting), an outdoor dining room for al fresco meals, a lounge and bar, jacuzzi, a conference room with modern multimedia equipment, a well-stocked library, a changing room and a small infirmary. Our expert captain, officers and crew are highly experienced in the Galapagos and have a great love and passion for this wildlife-filled world. Expert guides and lecturers lead talks onboard and walks and hikes on land. They are all extremely experienced, enthusiastic, helpful and dedicated. Onboard chefs prepare excellent cuisine including many local specialties and the bar is well-stocked with carefully selected wines and spirits.

There is no better way to relax on vacation than to sail the Galapagos on the MV Eclipse. We hope you will consider joining us on this very special journey to the enchanted islands.
