Local tip
If you like to be among varied company and meet all kinds of people, of all ages and nationalities, Santa Cruz is a great option, as the passenger crowd is usually very heterogeneous.

Cruising the Pacific Ocean to reach one of the most sought after destinations in the world, the Galápagos Islands, the Santa Cruz offers a trip like no other.

Facilitating 90 guests, and offering various different itineraries and lengths of stays, this revamped vessel specializes in excursions that are sure to feature on your bucket-list.

Each day on a cruise features one morning and one afternoon activity, with different difficulty-level options. These activities might be a trek on an island to observe wildlife and/or geology, snorkeling, a glass-bottom boat ride, or a zodiac ride along the shores of the island to observe wildlife. Snorkeling most of the time takes place among sea lions, penguins, or (harmless!) sharks. Multilingual naturalist guides lead the excursions and share their wide knowledge of the islands with their passengers.

With expert guides and a helpful crew on hand, this is a great way for those with a passion for nature to explore the Galápagos Islands in style.
