SANTA CRUZ II, GALAPAGOS ISLANDS

STATE-OF-THE-ART DESIGN

Purposely designed for navigating the isolated Galapagos Islands, the Santa Cruz II impresses with its extensive social areas, experienced crew and state-of-the-art design.

Named after one of the archipelago’s incredible islands, a journey aboard the Santa Cruz II is like no other. Nearly all the sites visited are not shared with other vessels, allowing you to experience the natural wonders of the Galapagos just as the early explorers did – in privacy. Add that to an excellent guide-to-guest ratio (one expert naturalist per eleven guests), each of whom has years of professional experience working in the region behind them.

Itineraries are designed to incorporate as much wildlife viewing as possible, with a combination of land and water-based activities. After a day of snorkelling with sea lions, meeting giant tortoises and glass-bottom boat rides, you can relax in the beautifully designed social spaces which include several viewing platforms, two hot tubs, a solarium and library. Those looking to fit in a workout will also find a well-equipped fitness room.

“INDIA AT ITS MOST INCREDIBLE”
Unbelievably brilliant from start to finish. 91ºÚÁÏÍø gave us complete flexibility while tailoring the trip to our personal preferences. Communication was excellent throughout, and the in-country team in India was super-efficient at every stage. The quality of the experience was exceptional – and the value for money, remarkable. From expert naturalists to thrilling wildlife encounters (tigers, leopards, 140 species of birds), awe-inspiring temples, the Taj Mahal, scenic walks and warm, welcoming people – not to mention the fantastic curry – it was a truly superb holiday. “Ultimate†really is “91ºÚÁÏÍøâ€!

“FAULTLESS AND FUN”
We’ve just returned from a Danube cruise with Douglas Skeggs and Joanna Worsley, with a few days in Vienna beforehand – all brilliantly overseen by Emily. From meet and greet at the airport to every detail on board the Amadeus Cara, the organisation was seamless. We’re already looking forward to our next Escorted Tour with 91ºÚÁÏÍø.        
Testimonial 5
“TRIP TO THE TOP OF THE WORLD”
Everything about our trip was excellent. While it’s a considered investment, the service more than justifies the cost. We loved the accommodation – beautifully chosen and thoughtfully located. Our guides ranged from grear to truly exceptional. And the places we visited? They exceeded all expectations. Peru is an extraordinarily beautiful country, and this journey gave us a real sense of its wonder.
