General information
The Solaris yacht started cruising in the Galapagos Islands in March 2019. The unique selling point of the Solaris are the 5 dedicated single cabins that can be occupied without paying any single supplement! This makes it the very best Galapagos yacht for solo travelers. This yacht is also great for family groups, as the 5 double cabins can be converted into triple accommodations. The social areas are very modern and spacious, including an ample lounge with panoramic windows to enjoy Galapagos views as you cruise. The yacht also counts with library, games, bar, TV and an ample sundeck.
