The Deluxe Plus M/Y Theory, the identical sister yacht to the M/Y Origin,and theM/Y Theory cast off for her very first Galapagos cruise in March 2019. Cruises and specialty departures aboard the M/Y Theory are just as memorable as those on her sister ship.
The M/Y Theory offers a combination of eco-friendly features, modern furnishings, and high-end amenities, coupled with remarkable performance and precision.
Sleek Economy
The M/Y Theory, like her triplet sister ships M/Y Origin and M/Y Evolve, combines stylish décor, world-class service, and luxurious amenities – all built with naval steel and designed to minimize environmental impact.
Speed, Balanced with Comfort
Traveling at a speed of 12-14 knots allows more time for exploration. The curved bow of the vessel cuts through waves for smooth sailing and less drag, which reduces RPMs and ultimately demands less fuel.
The M/Y Theory offers many of the same features as her sister vessels – all ten spacious deluxe staterooms are featured on deck with wide ocean views and two twin beds that convert to a King. Cabin amenities include ample sectional closets, nightstands, modern décor, fine linens and towels, climate control, Apple TV with pre-loaded movies, a universal docking station, Espresso and tea set up, a vanity with a lighted mirror, and a safe deposit box.
Guests will sleep like a baby sea lion amidst the luxurious linens, memory-foam mattresses, and soft pillows. Private bathrooms include a modern rainfall shower, dual-flush toilet, sink, hair dryer, waffle bathrobe, slippers, plush towels, biodegradable soaps, and shampoos.
