G Adventures has welcomed its first custom-built catamaran to its fleet of vessels in the Galapagos this northern hemisphere summer.
With demand for upgraded vessel options on the rise, the new Reina Silvia Voyager is designed to provide enhanced accommodation options with ten spacious cabins split over two decks – including two dedicated solo cabins – making her one of the most comfortable vessels in her class sailing the archipelago.
Yves Marceau, global vice president of product at G Adventures, says the addition of the Reina Silvia Voyager to the fleet enables G Adventures to cater to the rise in travellers seeking both bigger adventures and more activity during their holiday time. The pandemic has made travellers rethink how we holiday and saw high demand for once-in-a-lifetime adventures as travellers commit to booking trips they’ve long dreamt about.
Ecuador Galapagos Reina Silvia Voyager Interior
The Galapagos has ranked consistently among our top destinations as people continue to be drawn to the Islands’ diverse wildlife, biodiversity and remote landscapes. We’re also seeing a rise in travellers seeking solo cabin options, driven by more people travelling independently and those wanting their own personal space following the pandemic. The Reina Silvia Voyager is our first vessel to feature dedicated solo cabins, offering a much more affordable option for those wanting to room solo, says Marceau. Running across the central, east and west islands, the 103-foot Reina Silvia Voyager offers four itineraries, ranging from eight to 10 days, including Quito, and will accommodate up to 16 travellers.
Eight cabins accommodate twin or double stays, with two solo cabins catering to individual travellers. Eight rooms offer private balconies, while all rooms have panoramic windows for optimal ocean viewing, private bathrooms, bright, contemporary furnishings, artwork by local naturalist photographers and energy-saving LED lighting.
Common areas on board include an expansive third deck with lounge chairs for sunbathing, a covered cocktail bar, a grill station and an outdoor jacuzzi for relaxing under the sun or stars.
