Solaris
Solaris Description
The Solaris Galapagos Yacht is one of the newest yachts on the islands, set to receive up to 16 passengers in style. A small, comfortable yacht, she offers modern design in a stunning neutral palette but retains her informal, relaxed attitude in social areas and cabins. She features an ample lounge area with expansive windows for panoramic views of the surrounding natural beauty and one of the islands’ top-stocked bars. Her library is excellent for reading or playing games with the kids. Or step outside, where her spacious sundeck offers comfortable lounge chairs and top service, with delicious outside bar drinks on deck.
The Solaris Galapagos Yacht inherited its crew and its great Galapagos itineraries from a much-loved older ship. For her guests, this means that guides know their stuff and will share their long-standing love for the Enchanted Isles with everyone aboard. The kitchen staff is well known for their generous and varied meals, combining international and Ecuadorian favorites and the opportunity to taste local seafood and produce when available. Both safety and fun are priorities onboard...the crew takes great care to ensure the ship is spotless and well-run while you are out and about snorkeling, hiking, or kayaking.
Families, couples, and singles alike will find a cabin arrangement that works well for them. The ship sports ten roomy cabins – 5 doubles on the upper deck can be turned into triples with the addition of an extra single bed, and five cabins on the main deck have been designated as single cabins (no sharing, no supplement). So, if you choose to visit the archipelago, a beautifully designed, cost-effective cabin with hot and cold showers, plenty of closet space, and room for yourself will await.
Top Features
- Brand new first-class ship with top modern design at a mid-range price point
- Great for solo travelers (no supplement)
- Generous cabins offer numerous options for couples and families (triples available)
