EcoGalaxy is for travelers who want the Galapagos up close, without the rush. With only 16 guests, the pace stays personal: unhurried trail time, respectful wildlife distance, and natural history talks that connect each encounter to the bigger story of the islands.

The twin-hull catamaran smooths inter-island hops, while the crew keeps days flowing, from sunrise briefings and blue-water snorkeling to golden-hour sunsets on the sun deck. It is small-ship comfort with an eco-conscience.

overview

8 cabins distributed in the upper and main decks, a compact footprint that keeps everything close and convenient.

• Genuine small-ship scale (16 guests): Quieter landings, faster Zodiac operations, and more guide time per person.

• All outside cabins (8): Bright rooms with ocean views, private bath, and individual A/C; a balanced mix across upper and main decks.

• Catamaran ease: Wide-beam stability for calmer passages between islands.

• Eco-minded by design: Energy-saving systems, mindful water use, and biodegradable onboard amenities.

• Balanced programs: Smart sequences of hikes, snorkeling, kayaking, and scenic Zodiac rides.

life on board

Start with fresh coffee and a short naturalist briefing. Head ashore for a morning landing, then return to chef-prepared lunches and a breather on the sun deck.

Afternoons bring snorkeling or kayaking along lava shores. As daylight fades, gather at the lounge & bar for photo swaps and relaxed conversations; connectivity is limited, perfect for unplugging and being present.

itineraries & dates

Most departures run 5–6 days with a steady cadence of land walks, Zodiac rides, water time, and unhurried downtime onboard.

services & experiences

Soft-sided luggage packs best: Easier to stow than hard cases in cabin storage.

Power planning: Expect 110V outlets; a compact multi-USB adapter streamlines charging.

Motion comfort: Catamarans ride flatter than many mono-hulls, but bring your preferred remedy if you’re sensitive.

Offline by design: Internet can be intermittent, download playlists, books, and podcasts before you board.

Park etiquette matters: Stay on marked trails, keep distance from wildlife, and follow your guide.

faqs

What makes EcoGalaxy different from other Galapagos catamarans?
EcoGalaxy was designed to cruise responsibly, combining low-impact technology, limited guest capacity, and personalized guiding. It is one of the few vessels where sustainability and small-ship truly coexist.

Who is the EcoGalaxy experience best suited for?
It is perfect for nature-minded travelers, couples, families, and photographers who want to explore in comfort without sacrificing authenticity. Guests who value quiet moments, expert interpretation, and connection to the islands’ rhythms find EcoGalaxy ideal.

What type of atmosphere can I expect onboard?
Relaxed and social, never crowded. With just 16 guests, the mood feels more like a floating lodge than a cruise ship. There’s room to unwind privately or connect over sunsets, meals, and shared discoveries.

Are children or multigenerational families welcome?
Yes. EcoGalaxy is a family-friendly ship on select departures. Private charters are a great way for families to tailor activities and schedules while keeping the intimate, small-group feel.

Can you handle special diets?
With advance notice, the crew can typically accommodate vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free needs.
