Galapagos Cruises and Tours Eclipse

Discover Galapagos on board the finest small ship available. The Eclipse allows the more discerning traveler to experience one of the world’s greatest natural treasures in the comfort of an elegant and unique cruise and expedition vessel. The Eclipse offers unparalleled levels of comfort and service and was designed to meet the exacting demands of a luxury cruise.

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 Eclipse.

One of the most popular 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.

"We had a wonderful trip to South America and really appreciate all you did to help make it so good. The Eclipse was great. Very comfortable, friendly crew, good and knowledgeable guides, and a very interesting trip in all respects. We were as pleased as we could be. All of the other arrangements you made went smoothly with essentially no problems." - John Porter, USA
