M/N ECLIPSE
Discover the Galapagos Islands on board the finest small ship available. Owned and operated by Ocean Adventures, 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 expedition vessel.
Ever since her arrival in Ecuador, the Eclipse has surpassed the other options available as the finest small ship 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.
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.
The Eclipse is a 210 ft expedition vessel that accommodates up to 48 passengers in staterooms, each with a seaview. Fully air-conditioned, the spacious 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 jacuzzi, 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 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.
4 Deluxe Staterooms on the Boat Deck
8 Superior Staterooms with picture windows on the Boat Deck
12 Staterooms with portholes on the Main Deck
2 Single Staterooms with portholes on the Main Deck
From your comfortable base aboard the Eclipse, you will be able to explore the best visitor sites. There are many opportunities to hike, swim, snorkel, bird watch and take great close-up photographs of the flora and fauna.
For land visits, passengers are divided into groups of a maximum of twelve people, each with its own naturalist guide. On the islands you will follow trails, walking at a leisurely pace, with your guide explaining the unusual sights you see. Afterwards, there is often an opportunity to swim, snorkel or kayak before returning to the Eclipse.
