A luxury Galapagos cruise is an incredible privilege and the minute you step aboard any of our expedition vessels, you will realise you have embarked on a truly unforgettable adventure that will reward you with amazing times at sea and ashore, thanks to constant contact with this unique archipelago’s untamed nature. The island of Genovesa, one of the ports of call on this tour, is known, for instance, as Bird Island because it is home to the largest and most diverse bird colonies in the entire Galapagos. In fact, its residents include red-footed boobies, short-eared owls and the rare lava gull.
Swimming, kayaking along the coast or snorkelling in extinct volcanic calderas are just a few of the activities you can include in your plans. One of the guided visits you really should not miss, however, is of the Charles Darwin Research Station, which is charged with the conservation of the archipelago and protecting the giant tortoises in their native habitat.

Other vessels

M/Y Passion

Having started life as a private megayacht, M/Y Passion has been refurbished but still retains many of her original rather unique features including pink marble bathroom trim and teak decks with large sunning areas, lending her a particular charm all of her own.
Perfect for families and private charters, Passion stretches 48.5 metres in length and has four decks. She is extremely spacious and very comfortably accommodates 12 guests.
A panoramic sky lounge, bar, separate dining room, relaxing Jacuzzi and generous areas for sunning and dining cooled by the sea breeze, are just some of the guest amenities aboard.
M/Y also has six guest cabins, one of which is a Master stateroom and one a VIP. Both of the latter have double bathrooms. There are also four other double/twin standard staterooms with their own bathrooms complete with tub. All are air-conditioned. The 12-person crew provides a first-class individual service to the 12 guests, while the onboard chef produces superb gourmet meals.
