Frequently Asked Questions
about Eden Yacht
What are the cabins like on Eden Yacht?
Eden offers cozy double cabins with bunk-style beds, each with private bathroom, hot/cold water and air-conditioning. Lower-deck cabins have traditional portholes, while upper-deck cabins enjoy larger windows and more natural light.
What activities are included during the cruise?
Typical days on board Eden include two guided excursions such as:
Nature hikes on different islands
Panga (dinghy) rides along coastlines and mangroves
Snorkeling with tropical fish, rays, reef sharks and sea turtles
There is also free time to relax on the sundeck or in the lounge.
Is Eden suitable for families or solo travelers?
Yes. With only 16 guests, Eden works very well for couples, friends, families with older children and solo travelers. The small group size creates a friendly, social environment on board, while still leaving space to relax quietly when you want.
Do I need to be an experienced swimmer for this Galapagos cruise?
You don’t need to be an expert swimmer, but basic swimming skills are recommended, as snorkeling is one of the highlights of any Galapagos cruise. Life vests are available, and your guide will always choose sites and conditions appropriate for the group.
What should I pack for an Eden Galapagos cruise?
We recommend light, quick-drying clothing, a hat, sunglasses, reef-safe sunscreen, comfortable walking shoes or trainers, sandals, a light waterproof jacket, swimsuit, personal medication and a small daypack. Many guests also bring a camera or smartphone, binoculars and a reusable water bottle.
Why choose Eden over a larger Galapagos ship?
Eden is ideal if you want a small-ship, close-to-nature experience. With just 16 guests, you enjoy more personal attention from your guide and crew, smaller excursion groups, a relaxed “yacht” atmosphere and the chance to get to know your fellow travelers—without losing comfort or safety.
