This Santa Cruz II – 11 Day Cruise East West Galapagos combines the Eastern and Western itineraries for a extended Galapagos cruise with the Santa Cruz II. You will be able to visit the Tortoise Breeding Center and the Charles Darwin Research Station. Get close up to plenty of wildlife including: red-footed boobies, sea lions, land iguanas and stunning marine birds. You’ll also visit the central islands, starting with Santa Fe, with its beautiful tranquil bay, before continuing to the wild cliffs of South Plaza Island, Española Island and North Seymour Island, famous for its land iguanas.
You’ll continue on toward the western islands including Isabela Island. Here you’ll visit Punta Vicente Roca and Punta Espinoza on Fernandina (one of the most pristine islands in the world, with one of the archipelago’s biggest colony of marine iguanas and opportunities to see flightless cormorants). Spend some time in Puerto Ayora in Santa Cruz, and visit the famous Post office bay before we say goodbye to the Galapagos Islands after an amazing journey!
The highly advanced Santa Cruz II Cruise is an Expedition Vessel specifically designed to operate in these isolated regions, making it the perfect fit for exploring the remote Galapagos Islands. This vessel has it all: dining spaces, social areas, hot tubs, a gym, an entertainment room, a bar and lounge, and even a fully-stocked library. The cabins are very spacious and all with their own private bathroom.
With some of the latest advances in sustainable sailing, the Santa Cruz II also aims to protect the delicate and beautiful ecosystem that it explores. Guests can relish the Galapagos Islands landscapes at the rear terrace, which also doubles as an area for enjoying Happy Hour specials or freshly barbecued snacks. Enjoy locally-sourced organic food, a Le Cordon Bleu–trained Gastronomy Director, and a wide variety of culinary options that accommodate all diets during your Galapagos vacation.
