Galapagos Explorer II resumed service on Baltra Island November 7 following its annual maintenance period.
As part of a five-year transformation master plan, the restaurant, coffee station and the Jacuzzi bar were remodeled this year. The restaurant was decorated with hand-painted images by a renowned local artist. The restaurant walls received a classic wood finish and the portholes were replaced with picture windows. The wall panels of the coffee station and Jacuzzi bar were replaced with more modern wood panels.
Balconies were added to eight premium category cabins, bringing the total number of balcony cabins to 24. This is the largest amount of balcony suites available on any vessel serving the Galapagos.
The M/V Galapagos Explorer II is different from other ships because it offers a fascinating mix of sustainable tourism activities related to adventure, wildlife discovery, interpretation and geology of the islands aboard a luxurious vessel with high level of service.
The ship docks at the most remote islands in the archipelago and programs include all the excursions to the islands, so you don’t have to worry about making itineraries. Excursions to the islands are guided by certified naturalist guides.
Guests on 3, 4 and 7 night cruises enjoy accommodations in classically decorated suites with ocean view, some feature private balconies. Each suite is equipped with a television, minibar, satellite communications and a central air conditioning system that covers all the interior areas.
