The M/Y Passion is perfect if you are looking for a luxury small ship for your Galapagos expedition. The yacht recently underwent a full refurbishment, still retaining many of her original elegant features, such as teak wood decks and rose-colored marble bathrooms. There are 7 cabins aboard: 5 staterooms and 2 VIP/Master staterooms. Each spacious cabin is fully air-conditioned with TVs and private marble bathrooms, whilst the VIP and Master cabins also have an additional bathroom and separate lounge area. All cabins are on the lower deck to provide added stability and comfort. However, with ample space spread over 4 decks, guests can enjoy privacy without returning to their cabins if they wish. There is a large indoor lounge area with a flat-screen entertainment system, comfortable sofas, and a beautiful indoor dining area. Outside offers an immense sun deck with comfortable loungers and a hot tub, an observation deck perfect for whale watching, an al fresco dining area to enjoy the beautiful surroundings, and a Sky Bar & Lounge with panoramic views.
