Santa Cruz II
Santa Cruz II is a modern, family-friendly motor yacht, with a wide range of facilities and activities and contemporary cabins.
The Santa Cruz II is a modern expedition vessel with a capacity for 90 passengers in 50 cabins, across 5 decks. At 70m long, it is larger than many of the other vessels operating in these waters, which means it is home to more facilities, more social areas and more space to roam. There is an expedition lounge, fully stocked library, restaurant, panorama bar and lounge, an al fresco dining option, gym, hot tub and even an onboard gift shop. The décor is contemporary, featuring generous use of polished wood and crisp white linen.
There are 60 crew including eight naturalist guides and an underwater specialist who can assist those less comfortable in the water. There is a genuine attempt to cater for different age bands and interests, with groups for excursions (max 16 guests per group) put together accordingly. The cruise is very family friendly – there are special science themed programmes and meals for children – couples looking for a quiet escape will always be able to find a place to switch off. Kayaks, stand up paddle boards and snorkelling equipment are all provided free of charge and there is a glass bottom boat on hand for anyone who does not want to have to swim to see the marine life below the surface.
