Highly recommend a galaxy five day cruise
Such a fun trip! The ship is spotlessly clean and my cabin was very comfortable. The food was excellent with good choices and coffee/expresso and water was always available. The activities on each island were interesting and just long enough. We saw amazing wildlife, natural landscapes, and enjoyed numerous beaches and deeper water snorkel dives. The crew worked really hard to keep the ship in top shape, make us feel comfortable and safe. We only had nine in our group so we really got to know each other and had fun together.

An unforgettable cruise to the north of the Galapagos
We were able to find all the animals on the route except hammerhead sharks and learned a lot about the flora and fauna, wildlife and restoration programs of the islands.The crew was very accommodating and paid attention to the well-being of all passengers. Despite strong waves and cancelled flights, the crew and guide did everything they could to make the cruise an unforgettable experience.

An incredible Galapagos cruise!
My husband and I loved our 5 day/4 night Galapagos cruise onboard the Galaxy. Everything about the cruise was fantastic. The boat was clean and well furnished. The cabins were spacious and comfortable. The features like shower and air conditioning worked well. The food was wonderful and we never went hungry. We particularly liked the snacks they would serve every time we returned to the boat from an activity like snorkeling or beach walk. The crew was kind and professional. The naturalist was spirited and knowledgeable. Everything happened on a precise schedule that was easy to follow (and nice to have structure). The snorkeling was amazing, especially with the high quality scuba mask and wet suits provided. We will absolutely be returning to the Galapagos another cruise!

Amazing experience for family with kids and grandparents.
I have been on a number of cruises of different sizes and I have to say that this was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. The boat is on the small side with 16 passengers max. But it does not feel cramped in any way. There’s a nice size dining room where they put out a buffet three times a day that is excellent. There’s an espresso coffee and tea machine available 24 hours. A comfortable living room inside where you could sit and read or have a drink from the bar. And a top deck that is perfect for reading or watching the sunset. The food was really delicious, especially given that we were at sea. The activities were packed in that you do usually four a day - walk, snorkel, walk, kayak, etc. after the first activity in the morning and the first activity of the afternoon, you come back to a warm, homemade snack and cold drink. Alex was our guide and he was absolutely incredible. I felt like the places we went and the wildlife we were able to see from so close you could not believe it were out of this world. They made an effort to have us see extra things - like they offered a 6am snorkel one day because that’s when the hammered sharks are around and we saw them - just amazing. We were a family of four with two kids ages nine and 13. We saw almost no other children while we were touring in any other group or even in the towns. But the guides were wonderful about keeping them engaged and including them and we also had a 78 year-old grandmother on the same tour and they were equally amazing with her. I looked at a lot of different ships and I think that the itinerary and quality here for the price is unmatched. Highly recommend.
