You will feel the sensation of space aboard the Beagle for kicking back and relaxing between your unforgettable visits on land. The saloon offers a small library of Galapagos literature, and a selection of games.

All around the wide decks, comfortable seating allows you to choose sunshine or shade for lounging and observation. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served on board with the exception of the day you visit Puerto Ayora, when you will enjoy a meal in the highlands of Santa Cruz. Meals blend Ecuadorian and continental cuisine and are served on deck or in the saloon. Coffee and tea are available on deck, cold drinks including beer and a selection of wine and cocktails you may purchase from a well stocked bar. Refreshing snacks, especially at teatime, round out your daily menu.

A friendly and highly professional crew of six will attend you while on board: captain, helmsman, steward, cook, engineer and your certified bilingual naturalist guide. The guide will accompany you to all visiting sites within the National Park, providing a wealth of knowledge about the geological and human history of the Islands, and of course about every aspect of their intriguing flora and fauna.

 




Below deck are six well-fitted air-conditioned cabins, each with a double lower bunk and a single upper, and its private bathroom with hot water shower and flush lavatory. A smaller seventh cabin also air-conditioned and with en suite facilities can accommodate two or one passenger in its single bunks.
The electric current on The Beagle is 110V in the cabins and 220V with UK plug adapter in the Bridge.
Purchases on board

Travellers’ checks or cash (US dollars) may be used. No credit cards are accepted for payment on the Beagle; charges are kept on individual passengers’ bar tabs and are paid at the end of the cruise. A box and envelopes will be available for tipping the crew (consult your agent for customary practices).
