Six staterooms are laid out bunk style with a double bed on the bottom and twin on top, and the seventh cabin has a single double bed. Each air-conditioned room has 110v charging ports for electronic devices, reading lights, a porthole flooding in light – the seventh with a large picture window – and an ensuite private bathroom with toiletries and towels.
Social areas of the Samba Galapagos Sailor
Soak up the equatorial rays from the front deck solarium where you can enjoy the sea breeze, spot wildlife, and enjoy the incredible Galapagos views. The upper back deck also has a lovely circular booth style couch for enjoying the outdoors in comfort with other guests. Heading into the interior, the air-conditioned living and dining area is the perfect place to recharge your energy between the many daily excursions. Enjoy the use of a flat-screen television and DVD player, and the mini library. Thrice daily, enjoy delicious meals prepared by the professionally trained sous chef. Our favorite, the excellent seafood selection provided fresh by local Galapagos fisherman. Additionally, a bar full of local and international spirits, fine wines, and local beers is available at any time throughout your stay, along with a talented barman ready to craft your beverage of choice.
