With the Galapagos Islands growing in popularity as a top dive destination, blue o two have announced that they are now offering liveaboard holidays onboard the stunning M/V Galapagos Master in collaboration with Worldwide Dive and Sail to provide a truly unforgettable diving liveaboard holiday experience.

As a UNESCO World Heritage site, an Ecuadorian National Park, and a biological marine reserve, the Galapagos is home to a wide array of marine life, earning it a top spot in the world for unique and varied underwater sightings.  Hosting the new 7, 10 and 14 day ‘Master the Galapagos’ itineraries including visits to some of the top sites in the Galapagos Islands, from Punta Shark Bay to the infamous Darwin’s Arch, the M/V Galapagos Master is sure to provide memories of a lifetime.

Originally built in 2004, the 32m long M/V Galapagos Master will be undergoing a complete interior refit to the highest luxury standards to be finalised by 2015, ready to sail some of the top dive sites in the Galapagos.  Welcoming a total of 16 guests, M/V Galapagos Master features eight air-conditioned cabins each offering an en-suite bathroom, in-cabin entertainment and ample storage. For added convenience, M/V Galapagos Master offers cabins that can be used either as a twin or a double cabin.

A spacious indoor lounge located on the middle deck offers guests the perfect location to relax and unwind after a full day of diving.  The indoor dining area brings guests a tantalising array of mouth-watering meals, complimented by the adjacent cocktail bar.  Photographers on board the M/V Galapagos Master can take full advantage of the indoor camera set-up station which includes multiple charging points (US round pin plug). In addition, the fitted plasma screen television in the indoor lounge is set up for slideshows of underwater photography.  Additional storage drawers to the aft of the vessel mean that even photography charter groups will have no problem finding enough space for their equipment. Alongside the decadent interior, the M/V Galapagos Master’s top sun deck offers stunning panoramic views of the Galapagos.

Company director Jason Strickland said: “We are absolutely thrilled to have entered into this joint venture with our partners and offer our customers an excellent liveaboard experience in the Galapagos.  We are drawing on our extensive knowledge of diving liveaboards to ensure the standards of operation and quality of vessel are second-to-none.  We all very much look forward to welcoming you on board!”
