Evolution is an expedition cruise vessel built with the stylish profile of a 1920s style super yacht. She has a capacity to accommodate 32 guests in 16 double or twin cabins, all of which are superbly decked out with en suite facilities, climate controls and ample storage space. Guests have the choice to in the inside dining room or in an al fresco dining area on the upper deck. The food served onboard is varied and of the highest standard and caters for vegetarians and special dietary requirements upon request, all of which is served buffet style.
There is a considerable amount of open deck space for absorbing the island's volcanic scenery, watching out for marine life or taking the opportunity to relax. Guests have a variety of activities to choose from, since Evolution is equipped with snorkelling gear, wetsuits and sea kayaks. Guests can unwind in the onboard Jacuzzi or take in the sights of the Galapagos from the lounge chairs on the sun deck. There is a lounge area within the boat, complete with TV/stereo system, bar and excellent facilities for lectures, slide shows and films. There is also a well stocked library with books and films on the wildlife, history and flora of the islands, as well as some non-fiction 'good reads' and movies. There is also a wide range of board games available onboard.
Evolution is a good choice for families, with a specially organised Kids Club, offering activities such as star-gazing and movie nights. Guides onboard are well trained in attending to a full range of client interests, including those of children of different ages. We encourage children to consider keeping a journal of what they see, so that they can take away with them a personal expedition manual recording all that they saw and experienced. There are few places in the world where you will have the opportunity to experience wild life at such close quarters. For children and adults alike, this is an experience we hope they will savour for the rest of their lives.
Evolution has the charm and beauty of an early 20th century cruising vessel, yet all the comfort and safety of a premium small expedition cruise ship.
