M/V Eclipse - Galapagos Islands boutique cruise ship
Ever since her arrival in the Galapagos Islands - Ecuador, the M/V Eclipse has surpassed the other options available as the finest boutique cruise ship in the archipelago, offering unparalleled levels of comfort and service. She was converted specifically for upscale cruising in the islands, and was designed to meet the exacting demands of luxury travel.
The M/V Eclipse provides an exceptional level of comfort and elegance. She is an expedition vessel, 210 feet long accommodating up to 48 passengers in 27 cabins.
The vessel preserves a small boat atmosphere and offers features such as a naturalist guide for every 12 passengers and an infirmary with a medical doctor onboard at all times. There is a well-equipped lounge for relaxation and for the nightly briefings on the day's discoveries and the following day's activities. In addition to the elegant indoor dining room, there is an al fresco dining area located around the pool, where you can enjoy the islands' spectacular scenery over a delicious lunch. There is also has a well-stocked library for quiet study and reading.
One of the favorite areas on board the Eclipse is the observation/sun deck, ideal for stargazing, whale watching or simply relaxing in the comfortable sun loungers. The ship also has a bar, pool bar and a boutique for the purchase of our exclusive range of souvenirs and Eclipse apparel.
A fully air-conditioned and extremely roomy and comfortable ship, Eclipse’s large cabins have either a double or twin bed arrangement with ocean view windows on Boat Deck and ocean view portholes on Main Deck. Each cabin has a large closet, writing table, individual climate control and spacious bathroom with hairdryer, fresh towels provided every day and the complimentary use of bathrobes.
Ships the size of the Eclipse would normally accommodate many more passengers, but in designing her layout we chose to compromise on cabin numbers in order to provide our passengers with unrivalled cabin space and ample social areas. The Eclipse is unique in offering the generous accommodation of a larger vessel, while preserving the atmosphere and exclusivity of a smaller yacht.
Whether you are snorkeling with sea lions, watching a blue-footed booby feed its young, or following a giant tortoise through the forest, the Galapagos Islands will surpass all expectations. And there is no better way to enjoy the wonders of the islands, than on board the M/V Eclipse.
