Explorer II
Built in 1990, with an overall length of 89.35 m and reaching 17 knots, the M/V Galapagos Explorer II is one of the most elegant of the vessels cruising the Galapagos’ waters. Designed to provide both comfort and scientific information to 100 passengers visiting the Galapagos National Park, this vessel travels up to the remotest islands of the Archipelago.
The Explorer II was part of the International Cruise Line “Renaissance” and operates in the Galápagos Islands since February 1998. It is not only a vessel adapted to the eco-tourism operations that provides environmental education and interpretation on the Galapagos, it also has all the installations and necessary services to guarantee guided experiences on the islands.
