Ocean Adventures
Ecuador’s unequalled natural beauty, its diverse population and fascinating history make it an ideal travel destination. It offers a myriad of natural and cultural environments to be explored. From the Andes to the Amazon, from the Galapagos Islands to Inca ruins, you will delight in the incredible variety of adventures to choose from.
Based in Quito, Ecuador, Ocean Adventures owns and operates the Galapagos Islands’ finest small ship, the M/V Eclipse. With a capacity of 48 passengers, the Eclipse enables the discerning traveler to experience one of the world’s greatest natural treasures in the comfort of an elegant and unique expedition vessel.
Times for each meal will vary according to the daily program. No reservations are required for meals and all 48 passengers can be accommodated in one sitting. Lunch is usually served outside in the al fresco dining area. All soft drinks and up to two glasses of house wine with meals are complimentary on the Eclipse.
Gratuities
The quality of service should determine the amount of any tips. If service has been excellent, we recommend US$100 per passenger per week for the whole crew (to be divided between all crew members) and $40 per passenger per week for the guide. The total tip then would be $140 per passenger. This is merely a suggestion; gratuities are a very personal matter. Please deposit the gratuities for the crew members inside the boxes provided for this purpose at the end of the cruise.
