Isabela II
(40 Passengers – Deluxe Expedition Vessel)
The Isabela II accommodates 40 passengers for a Deluxe Galapagos cruise, with 20 outside cabins. The Isabela II is one of the most well appointed Galapagos tour expedition vessels and offers an elegant, yet relaxed atmosphere in which to experience the “Enchanted Islands”. The Isabela II is fully air-conditioned; all cabins are spacious and have private bathrooms. She has three public decks that offer the amenities of a larger vessel, including bar-salon, library, dining room and sun deck. From dining room to stateroom, superior quality is present at all levels of service. Isabela II’s trained chefs prepare superb a-la-carte selection of meals. The sun deck is comprised of a bar with ample outdoor seating, an observation area for whale and dolphin watching, a Jacuzzi and solarium. *As an alternative to snorkeling, a glass-bottom boat offers another opportunity to observe the Galapagos rich marine life.
