M/V Eclipse

M/V Eclipse.

The Eclipse has 4 types of cabins, all of which have sea views. Fully air-conditioned, the Eclipse's spacious cabins have either a double or twin bed arrangement, with two bedside tables, a writing desk, chair, ample closet space, private safety deposit box and an internal communications system. All twin beds can be converted to queen-size beds. Cabins are serviced three times a day. Deluxe and Superior Staterooms on the Boat Deck have picture windows and Staterooms on the Main Deck have portholes. The well-appointed bathrooms consist of a shower, toilet, sink, cabinet, hairdryer, a basket of toiletries and bathrobes. Fresh towels are available every day. Special towels for the beach will be provided by guides on the island excursions. Lunch is usually served outside in the al fresco dining area. All soft drinks and up to two glasses of house wine with meals are complimentary on the Eclipse. There is a lounge for relaxation and for the nightly briefings on the day's discoveries and the following day's activities. The indoor bar is attended at all times and the outdoor bar's opening hours may vary according to weather conditions. Our boutique is located next to the Front Desk. It is open at all times, except during excursions to the islands. There is a well-equipped infirmary with an M.D. on board. One of the most popular areas on board the Eclipse is the observation/sun deck, ideal for stargazing, whale watching, or simply relaxing in the Jacuzzi or on the comfortable sun loungers. For the more active passengers the sun deck is also equipped with two elliptical machines. The Eclipse has a wide selection of books, videos and DVDs. Board games and playing cards are also available from the library.
