MV Origin & MV Theory 

Ecoventura's MV Origin and MV Theory are premium-class Relais & Chateaux yachts, custom-built for exploring the Galapagos. They are a larger, newer and more luxurious upgrade to the elegant Letty ship (it also follows the same two seven-night routes around the idyllic islands). Combining modern sophistication with understated luxury, the deluxe staterooms on the Beagle Deck each have their own private en-suite complete with shower. The public areas are spacious and the cosy library is stocked with books on all things Galapagos, so you can learn all about Darwin at your leisure. The Jacuzzi is a great spot to unwind after a day of exploration and the spacious sun deck has inviting chairs, loungers and hammocks; relax while taking in the views and sipping drinks from the wet bar or enjoying delicious barbecue cuisine. There's also a small fitness centre if all of the swimming, snorkelling and walking leaves you wanting even more exercise. Gourmet menus really bring the region to life, with sustainable produce sourced locally. The cuisine on board is simple but elegant, with cooking demonstrations and the open bar policy (house drinks, teas and coffees). Zodiac rides are by far the best way to explore — you'll have two dedicated expert naturalist guides to teach you all about the incredible wildlife, at a ratio of one guide per 10 guests (the lowest ratio in the Galapagos).

Accommodation
The Deluxe Staterooms are located on the same deck and feature large windows with ocean views, Apple TV pre-loaded with films and a rainfall shower with ocean view.
