The Santa Cruz II took the baton from its predecessor, the MV Santa Cruz, in October 2015. Launched by Metropolitan Touring, Ecuador’s travel company that pioneered small ship expeditions the Galapagos Islands in the 1960s, the Santa Cruz II has a 58 percent increase in passenger space ratio than its predecessor, and a 31 percent reduction in fuel consumption, resulting in a lower environmental footprint per guest. Sustainable cruise technology onboard also includes a waste water treatment plant. AdventureSmith Explorations’ Santa Cruz II review includes a detailed description of the small ship including deck plans and a photo gallery.
Our crew has traveled aboard the Santa Cruz, the Santa Cruz's predecessor and sister ship, in the Galapagos Islands, so feel free to ask us any questions. Please read our Santa Cruz II review below then contact our Galapagos cruise experts to compare the Santa Cruz II with other Galapagos yachts and small ships. The Santa Cruz II boasts five spacious decks, with modern interiors designed by renowned ship designer Richard Nilsson, created with the ethos of stylish simplicity. With an intelligent layout, including wide hallways and broad stairwells, guests will immediately know their way around. Relax in the beautifully designed communal areas and viewing platforms, including indoor and outdoor dining options, two lounge bars, a well-stocked library, two indulgent ocean view hot tubs and a state of the art gym. Separate lecture areas allow for simultaneous presentations. And there is a medical doctor on board, with a fully equipped infirmary, free of charge. WiFi is available on board for a charge, but note that it is only available in the ship's social areas or at designated computer stations.
Due to the Galapagos' remote location, internet connections are intermittent and low bandwidth. Creative Ecuadorian and international cuisine are prepared under the watchful eye of the Santa Cruz II’s Cordon-Bleu trained gastronomic director, Byron Rivera. Freshly caught fish and seafood and locally grown organic fruit and vegetables will feature heavily on menus served in the colorful Beagle Dining Room on the Ocean Deck and al fresco on the Panorama Deck. Guests who wish to bring their own bottles of wine and/or spirits aboard are subject to corkage fees. The Santa Cruz II takes guests on five- and six-day itineraries in the Northern, Eastern and Western Galápagos Islands, and each expedition will be accompanied by seven of Metropolitan Touring’s exceptionally knowledgeable guides plus an expedition leader in charge of making the most of each day's outings. Small groups ensure the most enriching, educational experience and individual attention, with 11 guests per guide.
Activities can be tailored to each guest’s personal interests and range from daily land expeditions to a host of aquatic activities, including ocean kayaking, panga coastal exploration, swimming, snorkelling with sea lions and glass-bottom boat expeditions – all of the options permitted by the Galápagos National Park.
