Isabella II and Seasickness
I would like to ask about what the cabins are like on the Isabella II - I'll be travelling with my adult daughter and was wondering about room size, storage, bathroom/shower, etc. I'd also love to hear any experience around seasickness or preventive measures - we will be travelling in late February when the waters are supposed to be both warmer and calmer. Thank you!

I was there in May and there was very little to get seasick about....maybe one day had waves you felt on the ship. The room size depends on what room and deck you picked - a Tauck representative might be able to give you more details.
Thank you, Jane P - that is very encouraging re the seasickness! I thought all the cabins were exactly the same size, etc. on the Isabella II but perhaps I am wrong on that.
I believe all the rooms on the Isabella II are the same except one, which is larger, in a different location from the others. The ship deck should be available on the website.
Now that you mention it Martyn, I was on the Silver Origin. Isabella II might be different. I know on the Silver Origin, some had balconies some only had the drop down windows, etc...but then those had a larger room (because there was no balcony...)
I’ve been on the Isabella II twice, March and December. All rooms are the same size except the one I think is called the Captain’s cabin. The rooms are small and basic. The bathroom is small and basic. It’s an expedition ship and we really enjoyed it. The crew are great. No locks on cabin doors, not required.
Didn’t see anyone suffering from sickness on either trip, they each went to different parts of the islands apart from one day which was the same.
This is a bit off topic, but I'll comment that the Silver Origin was a very nice ship. We had one of the cabins with the drop-down window. It also had a window in the shower (to the outside) that could be opaqued electrically. Very cool.
The ship used for our family Galapagos trip this year is the Santa Cruz II. It wil be interested to compare. Im hoping it will only consume of Tauck passengers
