Nostalgic and luxurious Galápagos expedition cruise ship, with more than a hint of retro 1920s style yet all the amenities of the modern age.

The MV Evolution is a Galápagos expedition vessel, known for its classic design, spacious decks, and relaxed onboard atmosphere. Styled to evoke early twentieth‑century ocean travel, the ship combines traditional nautical character with the practical comforts required for a modern expedition cruise.

Accommodation is for a maximum of 32 passengers, arranged across a range of comfortable staterooms and suites, all with private bathrooms and air‑conditioning. Interiors are finished in polished wood and muted tones, creating a calm, welcoming environment without unnecessary formality. Shared spaces are generous for a ship of this size and designed to encourage easy interaction between guests.

The vessel is operated by an experienced crew of around 20, including two English‑speaking Galápagos National Park‑certified naturalist guides.

Public areas include indoor and outdoor dining spaces, a main lounge with bar, library and video room, boutique, and multiple open decks. A Jacuzzi on the sun deck offers a comfortable place to unwind between outings, with good visibility for both daytime wildlife sightings and evening stargazing.

Daily excursions are conducted using zodiacs, with snorkelling equipment, wetsuits, and kayaks included and provided on board.
