Originally built in Spain, the M/V ISABELLA 2 was one of the most luxurious yachts operating in the Galapagos Islands for several decades and still has stunning marvels to her; she has proven to be among the most popular choices to discerning Galapagos Island travelers who choose to take the 7-night Galapagos cruise itinerary option. The Galapagos Isabela II yacht was designed and built specifically for the longer 7-night Galapagos cruise expeditions and she will help you make the most of your Galapagos vacation. During the 7-night cruise itinerary, no islands are visited twice which is a very important item to consider when planning you vacation!

The atmosphere aboard the M/V ISABELA 2 is that of an elegant yacht. It is still one of the most luxurious means of touring the Galapagos Islands. This well appointed yacht is fully carpeted and air-conditioned. A seasoned Captain, dedicated crewmembers and three experienced English-speaking naturalist category-3 guides attend to the details of your Galapagos cruise. Each naturalist takes passengers on all shore excursions / Galapagos Island “visitor sites” and shares extensive experience and insights which can only be told from years of experience that the Galapagos guides personally have. |

The M/V ISABELA 2 bar and lounge is a popular gathering spot to take in the Galapagos breezes and fresh air; fresh fruit squeezed drinks are set out for passengers as they return from excursions in the islands. 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, the glass-bottom boat offers another opportunity to observe the Galapagos rich marine life. |
