International Tag-Team of the Blue Spirit Galapagos Yacht

Staterooms of the Blue Spirit Galapagos Yacht
The Blue spirit Galapagos cruise houses 10 bright and spacious cabins spread across two decks, including one in the lower deck cabin for those worried about seasickness. Each cabin features a private ensuite bathroom with a hot shower, blow dryer, all necessary toiletries, and a vanity unit. Additionally, store your belongings and clothing in the abundant wardrobes along with a safe for valuables. The panoramic windows afford guests a fantastic view of magnificent Galapagos landscapes. In the case you need to make a call, each room is equipped with a phone system. Lastly, the icing on the cake, enjoy the refillable bottles provided by the Blue Spirit keeping with the green initiative of the islands to reduce plastic and keep the islands in pristine condition.
Living Areas of the Blue Spirit Galapagos Yacht
Enjoy a plethora of spacious living areas during your stay on the Blue Spirit Galapagos yacht, featuring fine teak decking, panoramic views at every corner, and furniture made for comfort. Our personal favorite, the sun and shade upper decks featuring cozy outdoor reclining furniture. This is the perfect spot to gather your energy for the next adventure and relax between excursions, a place to enjoy exceptional panoramic views, soak up the sun, observe unique wildlife, all the while sipping on an exquisite Galapagos cocktail.
In the evening, head to the bar stocked with premium international spirits, fine wines, and local beer. Among the blue spirit’s Galapagos yacht’s world-class staff is a professional bartender ready to craft any beverage you desire. Afterwards, wind down in the tastefully decorated Salon area, where your bilingual naturalist guide will provide a 15-minute briefing on the following day’s activities, things you need to bring, and animals you will likely see. Lastly, relish in the gastronomic masterpieces crafted by your onboard sous chef three times daily, a delicious selection of international and national cuisine. Additionally, the prepared snacks and refreshing fruit juices served upon return of your excursions are exquisite. Remember, the snacks and coffee are available 24/7 free of charge.
