Excellent, actually exceeded expectations. Food was great and plenty of variation. Cocktails very good! We stayed in the Galápagos afterwards, crew delivered our bags to shore a bit later on our departure morning so we could enjoy the morning in town without worrying about luggage. storage. Thank you!

Experience of a lifetime
We did the Itinerary A and had the most wonderful experience. We saw plenty of wildlife (even swam with penguins!) and our guide Fernanda was very knowledgeable. The days are packed with activities though the crew manage to make you feel like you’re still on vacation and not rushed at all. Talking about the crew, each and everyone of them is very professional, a very entertaining bunch and made everyone feel at home. At the end of the cruise, we all felt like a big family, crew and guests altogether. The food was excellent and varied. Lots of options for everyone’s taste. The boat in itself feels very new, modern and spacious. The view from the top deck is something special at sunset! There is never a dull moment and this is truly the experience of a lifetime! Thanks again to everyone for making our experience on board so special.

A true five star experience
Snorkeling with sea creatures was the highlight of our trip. The snacks, hot drinks and warm towels were very much appreciated after all water excursions. We truly appreciated the attention to all the little things on the boat.
