M/C Natural Habitat Petrel

Location
Galapagos Islands, Ecuador

The luxurious 115-foot Natural Habitat Petrel is named after a seabird common to the Galapagos. Like its namesake, Natural Habitat Petrel is elegant and swift. This motorized catamaran is designed for comfort and stability while conveying guests in style between the islands of the Galapagos. Eight large staterooms, including two suites, accommodate up to 16 guests. Cabins have varied configurations with either two full beds that can convert to one king bed. Each has a private balcony, ample closet storage, en suite bathroom. An additional ninth cabin offers cozy single accommodations. Interior decor is as clean and contemporary as the ship's exterior profile, featuring a palette of nautical blue. Chrome, leather and glossy teak floors accentuate the modern design. An open top deck offers 360-degree views, while a spacious lounge provides room to relax in the air-conditioned interior. Enjoy fine meals in the dining room or on the aft deck. Two bars offer outdoor refreshments, and a Jacuzzi rounds out the ship's offerings.
