The M/Y Eclipse is considered one of the finest boutique cruise ships in the Galapagos Islands, 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. Ships the size of the M/Y Eclipse would normally accommodate many more passengers, and she offers the generous accommodation of a larger vessel, while preserving the atmosphere and exclusivity of a smaller yacht. The M/Y Eclipse is a 210 ft expedition vessel that accommodates up to 48 passengers in fully air-conditioned staterooms with picture windows and sea views. Cabins have either a double or twin bed arrangement and well-appointed bathrooms with fresh towels provided every day and the complimentary use of bathrobes. 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 a well-stocked library for quiet study and reading. The Boat Deck Suites are 210 sq. ft. and have a queen bed and convertible sofa beds and a bathtub. The Boat Deck Staterooms and the Double Deluxe Main Deck cabins are 170 sq. ft. and include a guest chair and have either one queen-sized or two twin-sized beds, and private bathrooms with showers.
