The
M/C Journey I
offers comfortable accommodations in six standard cabins (14 m2/151
sq. feet) located on the main deck and two suite cabins (18 m2/193 sq.
feet) located on the upper deck. All cabins have individual climate
control and feature private facilities, locker and closet.
Among
its social areas, the M/C
Journey I has a comfortable
dining room, one outside bar located on the upper deck, and a living
room equipped with TV, DVD player, and a stereo system. All this complemented
with a Jacuzzi and a spacious sun deck offering a great view of the
Galapagos Islands' landscapes.
The
M/C Journey I
has nine friendly crew members supervised by a cruise director who guarantees
world quality service. Additionally, she comes with a Naturalist Guide
Level II/III, who has been trained and licensed by the Galapagos National
Park Service.
There
are several advantages of cruising on board a catamaran versus a monohaul
yacht, to mention a few:
Smoother Ride: Almost any multihull
will offer you a smoother ride in rough water due to the dual hull design
and the construction's parachute effect as the boat crosscuts the waves.
Air trapped between the hulls cushions the impact of re-entry. As the
catamaran does not land on the hull's centerline, like a monohull would,
the effects of the impact are spread over a wider area.
Stability: Load levels on a catamaran
can be up to 20% greater than a similar size monohull. Catamarans are
incrementally more stable as they do not pivot on the centerline. The
footprint is wider, helping to negate the effects of rolling seas.
More deck space: A catamaran is
wider than a monohaul yacht offering additional deck space and sunbathing
areas.
Environment friendly: All power
catamarans have less hull resistance in the water, resulting in greater
fuel efficiency (comparatively it takes less horsepower and fuel to
accomplish optimal performance in a power catamaran than in a power
monohull).
Access to remote areas: The catamaran's
shallow draft design allows access to waterways that most conventional
hulls cannot navigate.
