We were honored to have luxury travel blogger, Jean of Holy Smithereens, join us recently on our newest yacht, the MV ORIGIN. Below, Jean takes you on a mini video tour of the luxury vessel ORIGIN. Operating since 1990, Ecoventura is a leader in sustainable expedition cruising in the Galapagos Islands. In February 2016, we launched our premium class vessel, the MV ORIGIN!

We hope you take a moment to watch Jean’s video — and invite you to join us on board the ORIGIN… Come and experience the enchantment of the Galapagos and book your cruise with Ecoventura today!

Below are several photos and highlights of Jean’s stay with us!

“One of the things I loved most about cruising the Galapagos on the MV Origin is the intimate size. The vessel can accommodate up to 20 passengers on full capacity, and our group only had 13 people. Perfect size.”

“I enjoyed the food immensely. In the 7 nights and 8 days we were there, I don’t believe that any dish was repeated”

“One of my favorite times during the day is when we would return from a session of snorkeling or hiking, and always, Jairo would be waiting with refreshments and snacks. Such a warm welcome back onboard.”

“The overall feel, great disposition and camaraderie among staff was warmly felt and greatly reflected on the service they provided to us… The Galapagos is a very active destination with lots of islands to explore and wildlife to interact with. Being active during the day and having comfortable and luxurious surroundings as your base really helps in recovering, and getting you ready for more action the next day.”
