M.V. ECLIPSE Situated 1,000 kilometres off the coast of Ecuador, the Galรกpagos archipelago consists of 19 islands and more than 40 islets, created six million years ago when they emerged from the Pacific in a flurry of volcanic activity. Each island forms a unique ecosystem, encompassing a rich variety of endemic species: from Galรกpagos penguins and waved albatrosses to flightless cormorants and swallow-tailed gulls, not to mention the giant tortoises that give the archipelago its name. Here, there is jaw-dropping wildlife in action everywhere you turn. Considered the finest Galรกpagos expedition vessel, the M.V. Eclipse offers unrivaled cabin space and ample social areas while preserving the atmosphere and exclusivity of a smaller yacht. Over two decks, 26 rooms accommodate 48 passengers. Fully air-conditioned, the spacious cabins have either a queen or twin bed arrangement, and all feature gracious sea views. A well-equipped lounge hosts nightly briefings, and a wellstocked library allows you to research any flora and fauna that piques your interest. In addition to the elegant indoor dining room, there is an al fresco dining area, where you can enjoy the islands' spectacular scenery over a delicious lunch. One of the most popular areas on board is the observation/sun deck, which is ideal for stargazing, whale watching, or simply lazing in the jacuzzi. From your comfortable base aboard the M.V. Eclipse, you explore the highlights of the islands. For all expeditions, passengers are divided into groups of a maximum of 12 people, each with its own naturalist guide. During the main holiday seasons, the ship runs special family departures, during which specialist guides are assigned to educate and entertain the children, while the adults enjoy the cruise at their own pace. The Galรกpagos Islands also offer a unique interaction with nature, and their name is synonymous with survival and the celebration of the diversity of species on Earth. Respect for the environment is a priority aboard the M.V. Eclipse, therefore the outfit is certified within the Rainforest Alliance 'Smart Voyager' Programme.
