Purpose-built for expedition travel, National Geographic Endeavour II is a nimble and elegant vessel, perfectly suited for exploring the Galápagos Islands. Accommodating just 96 guests, she offers a relaxed yet immersive experience, with spacious public areas, large windows throughout, and an expansive open-air observation deck ideal for wildlife spotting and stargazing. Her shallow draught allows close access to remote coastlines, creating extraordinary opportunities for up-close discovery.

Aboard Endeavour II, guests enjoy a blend of comfort and adventure. The ship carries a fleet of kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, Zodiacs, and a glass-bottom boat, along with exploration tools like underwater cameras and a video microscope. Public spaces include a lounge and bar for evening Recaps, a library, and an “open bridge” where visitors can observe navigation and chat with the crew. Dining is sociable and unpretentious, with Ecuadorian flavours and options to eat outdoors when weather permits. Whether travelling solo, with family, or as a group, Endeavour II offers an unforgettable basecamp in the enchanted isles.
