For those looking for a Galapagos adventure cruise in style, the 16-passenger Ocean Spray Galapagos Cruise provides a cozy small yacht atmosphere, comfortable accommodations and personalized service.

The only Galapagos mega-catamaran built exclusively for cruising the Galapagos. All staterooms with private balconies and boosts ample social areas and a Jacuzzi.

The Ocean Spray offers spacious and comfortable, fully-air conditioned accommodations. The Ocean Spray’s upper deck features a bar and a beautiful open area for relaxation and dining. The sundeck is great for whale and dolphin watching or to simply relax in the Jacuzzi. In the evenings there is no better place for star gazing. The dining area can be found on the main deck, along with a really comfortable lounge. All meals are served as a buffet style with all soft drinks included.

The naturalist guide will give nightly lectures about the islands, in addition to briefings on the next day’s activities. Most of the snorkeling activities take place before or after island excursions, so that you will not miss the hikes. It is an optional activity while the rest of the passengers stay on board or on the beach. If you would like to learn about the equatorial night skies, your guide will be happy to join you for stargazing on the Sun Deck (December to April). Whale watching is seasonal and best experienced while the humboldt current reaches the Galapagos. Although sightings are not guaranteed, with a keen eye and some luck you may see some whales during your cruise, especially between June and September.
