The M/V Evolution is a 192 ft Expedition Ship that accommodates up to 32 passengers in 16 cabins, with either single, twin or double accommodations. The Evolution is prepared for individual passengers or charters, family departures and expeditions for active groups. This ship offers a mix of beautifully furnished salons, open decks and private areas reserved for quiet observation.

A seasoned Captain, dedicated crew members, and two experienced English-speaking naturalist guides attend to the details of your Galapagos cruise. Each naturalist takes passengers on all shore excursions and shares extensive insights into the Islands diverse wildlife. The Evolution can accommodate 36 passengers in 18 spacious cabins decorated in nautical taste. All the cabins are fully carpeted and finely decorated with dark teak wood and bronze finishing. Each cabin has air conditioning, TV, safety box, inter-cabin phones along with a private bathroom with cold and hot water, hair dryer and other amenities.

The lounge chairs on the Sun Deck are a perfect spot for enjoying the warm Galapagos sun or to simply catch the ocean breezes as you cruise through Darwin's biological paradise. For an overwhelming view and photography opportunity (or just for a relaxing sun bath), the Evolutions outside decks are extraordinary. You can also enjoy a drink in the Jacuzzi while sailing from one island to another, with once in life time natural scenery.

The main lounge is a comfortable and relaxing area with a well stocked bar for drinks, cozy sofas, TV/DVD and stereo. Passengers can gather here for discussions on the next day's activities; it will also be the perfect spot for various relaxation activities such as: watch a film, have a drink at the bar, or just relax to be captured by the Islands charm. Nightly briefings by the yacht's team of naturalist guides are held in the spacious lounge, which accommodates all guests comfortably.

The dining facilities aboard are very informal yet accommodating to your needs. Service is always friendly with a smile! The chefs prepare delicious Ecuadorian specialties, as well as Continental dishes. Start each day with a casual breakfast buffet; at lunch enjoy a buffet of crisp salads, healthy pastas, assorted fresh vegetables, produce, meats and fish all creatively prepared. Unwind in the evening with creamy soups, ceviche, grilled seafood, roasted potato salad, unique deserts, and other delicacies of Ecuadorian and international cuisines.
