Purpose built in 2005 for expedition cruising in the waters of Tierra del Fuego, the National Geographic Endeavour II underwent a major refit for Galápagos service in 2016 with an all new forward lounge, library, gym & spa along with new fixtures and furniture in cabins, new suites and other amenities throughout. Sophisticated and energy efficient lighting, air-conditioning, water-making and other technical features were also installed or replaced for year-round operation in equatorial waters. The ship, which previously carried 136 passengers, accommodates 96 guests in 52 thoughtfully appointed cabins. She is exceptionally nimble and maneuverable, with a shallow draft to get up close, great viewing from all public spaces, an expansive open-air observation deck, large windows in cabins and suites, and state-of-the-art tools for exploration. National Geographic Endeavour II replaced the much loved National Geographic Endeavour in December 2016.

About Quito
Nestling between two spectacular towering Andean Ranges, Quito-Ecuador's capital, also straddles the Equator and, as such, lays claim to being the 'City at the centre of the world'. It is a city of wonderful juxtapositions! The wonderfully preserved and restored Old Town, a living testimony to Quito's colonial past, is complimented by the modern glass skyscrapers, electric trolleys and mansions to the north of the city. Even the somewhat dominant and highly active Pichincha Volcano, coexists harmoniously on the city's western side.
Quito Attractions
Excursions to the city's fine museums allow us to step back in time and discover more about its fascinating history and indigenous people through their handicrafts, archaeology and even modern art. Itself a living museum, Quito's colonial Old Town takes on a completely different perspective by night! Travel to colourful indigenous markets and even both the northern and southern hemispheres in one day.
Guayaquil, Ecuador is your port for Quito, the beautiful capital of Ecuador. As you stroll the cobbled streets of the city called "Queen of the Andes", rich legacies of art, history and magnificent Spanhish colonial architecture surround you.
The province of Galapagos encompasses the Galapagos archipelago, which lies 600 miles off the coast. Discovered in 1535, the Galapagos are made up of 13 major islands, 5 of which are inhabited. It was declared a national park in 1959. The total population in 1989 was 9,000.
