We’ve been seeing Ecoventura pop up around the web more in the last few weeks, and wanted to share the news with our travel community! We are excited to hear the Galapagos, MV Origin and Ecoventura are buzzing around the internet and encouraging more travelers to start planning their next adventure. Here are a few of the highlights over the last month.

Expanding Cruise Options through the Galapagos

“The small-ship cruise operator Ecoventura, known for its expedition cruising through the Galápagos Islands, is expanding into a higher level of luxury service with the introduction of its fourth ship, the MV Origin.

The 20-passenger yacht, which departs on its inaugural cruise Jan. 3, will have 10 spacious staterooms with panoramic windows, satellite TV and docking stations. Amenities include a concierge, a wet bar, a library and a fitness center, along with indoor and outdoor observation areas.” via New York Times Travel
