| Galapagos Islands cruises Cruising the Galapagos is a very special and unique experience. You can hike the trails as you admire blue footed boobies and giant tortoises. Admire mysterious creatures like the armies of marine iguanas, flightless cormorants birds that have lost their ability to fly and penguins at the equator line. And other species that are endemic to this paradise. Luxury cruises The Galapagos Luxury yachts offer all of the amenities of the other Galapagos yacht classes and more. The luxury yachts boast the most spacious accommodations, top level cuisine, and superior service onboard to ensure an unforgettable Galapagos experience First class cruises | Ships of First class are already very comfortable and comply with international standards of superior cruise ships. The cabins are very spacious and supply cold and warm water as well as air-conditioning. Guides belong to Naturalist Class III, which means that they have studied (for instance biology) and therefore possess scientific knowledge of flora and fauna, the evolution of the archipelago and are multilingual. In this class meals are served in form of a buffet. |
| Tourist cruises The Galapagos Tourist yachts offer an affordable way to enjoy the beauty of the Galapagos Islands in small but comfortable twin share cabins. These yachts have private bath/shower and bunk beds in most cabins. The tourist yachts tend to travel to the more central Galapagos Islands and have a certified, bilingual naturalist guide on every cruise. Economic cruises The equipment of ships belonging to this category is quite simple. Due to the size and the speed of the boat, fewer islands can be visited compared to ships of a higher category. The guides (Naturalist Class I) are usually from Galapagos and they often speak only a bit of English. The food aboard is not very diversified. In general, this category is rather suitable for young travelers on a small budget. |
