Tourist Superior cruise M/C Archipel I
Pioneers of Galapagos cruises, the motor catamaran Archipel I and its sister ship Archipel II arrived in the Galapagos in 2002. They have sturdy double hulls, spacious decks and common areas. Each of the recently renovated eight double cabins, all on the main deck, has two ocean-view windows for relaxing and dreaming. The beds are all low and there is hot water, of course. The nature tours, ranging from 4 to 15 days in length, include the best that the Galapagos archipelago has to offer. All in all, the Galapagos Catamaran Archipelago I is a very good choice for a fantastic cruise in decent comfort.
