The Evolution carries only 32 passengers on each Galapagos tour, she features 16 stylish cabins each has its own private facilities with hot water shower and plenty of space so you feel you are on a larger boat (2 suites on the boat deck, 8 cabins on the main deck, 6 cabins on the lower deck).

The Evolution also offers unique perspectives on your Galapagos tours. Carrying clear acrylic sea kayaks for ‘glass-bottom’ glimpses beneath the calm seas.
