Deck layout and review
Review of Ecoventura MV ORIGIN Galapagos deck 2 (Beagle-Cabins)
Beagle Deck (main deck) houses all passenger staterooms (6x double and 4x triple cabins), the forward Lobby area (housing ADM/Reception Desk served 24-hour by a dedicated concierge, and the Boutique Shop) and both Zodiacs (stored in the bow section) which are unloaded and loaded via crane.
The Zodiacs (aka pandas) are large-capacity RIBs (rigid inflatable boats) used mainly for passenger transportation (ship-island-ship). These boats also serve the cruise company's shore excursion program with near-shore cruising tours and landings. Each boat/group is led by a professional naturalist. Besides the Zodiac tours to each of the Galapagos islands, Ecoventura also complimentary provides all tourists with snorkeling gear, wet suits and sea kayaks.
One indoor staircase (aft-starboard) and two outdoor stairs (1x aft-portside, 1x forward) access Darwin Deck (upper deck) above.
