galapagos cruises

A Galapagos Island holiday offers one of the most magical and unforgettable holiday experiences and the best way to enjoy these remarkable islands is on a Galapagos cruise.

There are many different Galapagos yachts and hence cruises. There are also set family departures, and women only departures. Each yacht has its own itinerary and provides very comfortable accommodation with quality service and first-class guides to ensure you get the very best out of your holiday in the Galapagos Islands. A firm favourite with our clients is the Eclipse but please call one of our experts on 0845 618 2201 to explore what is best for your Galapagos cruise.
 
You may wish to charter a whole motor or sailing yacht solely for your family holiday or by means of celebration with a group of friends. Galapagos yacht charters are a great way to experience the wonders of the Galapagos Islands Charter - they can be tailormade to suit your needs and often cost a little less per person.
