The EC-Galaxy* is a compact catamaran carrying just 16 guests in eight cabins, creating a relaxed and intimate atmosphere on board, with an attentive crew and knowledgeable naturalist guide accompanying you throughout.

Bright communal spaces are designed to make the most of the setting. The lounge offers large windows, comfortable seating and a small library, providing a pleasant place to unwind between excursions, while the sun deck is ideal for relaxing outdoors and taking in the passing scenery. Cabins are simple yet well laid out, with en-suite facilities and air conditioning, offering a comfortable retreat after a day exploring the islands. A small dining area and coffee station provide a welcoming social hub, where meals are served in an informal setting.

* The official name for this vessel is “EcoGalaxy”, reflecting some of the initiatives to reduce its impact.  We have simplified the name in line with EU law, to avoid enhancing their sustainability claims when compared to other excellent options in Galapagos.
