Eclipse (First Class Superior)

Since her arrival in 1999, the Eclipse has been one of the finest boutique boats available in the Galapagos Islands. Converted specifically for upscale cruising in the islands, she was designed to meet the exacting demands of luxury travel.

A boat this size would normally cater for many more passengers but this generously proportioned ship accommodates 48 passengers for seven night cruises, providing spacious cabins and generous social areas, including a pool on deck, while maintaining the intimate feel of a small yacht.
