HX Expeditions - MS Santa Cruz II

MS Santa Cruz II

Dedicated to the Galápagos, MS Santa Cruz II offers a small-ship way to follow in Darwin’s footsteps, with carbon-neutral operations and a strong connection to the local community. With a capacity of just 90 guests, she feels relaxed, sociable and wonderfully personal, with multiple decks for ocean views between island landings. Dining is a highlight in the Beagle Restaurant, where locally sourced organic ingredients shape the menus. For learning and conversation, the Expedition Lounge includes a Science Corner and library, while a fitness room and hot tubs round out life on board. Refurbished in 2021, she blends comfort with purposeful exploration.
