Amazing 5 stars across the board would do it again!
Yes, my first cruise. It was well planned by the Galaxy crew who pampered and cared for us daily! I looked forward to each days adventures which were presented to us daily by our naturalist Sebastian whose enthusiasm was contagious. Galápagos presented unique creatures and best of all was we saw what they are like when they are not afraid of us! They were curious about us, I swam within schools of fish, seals..etc nothing on land ran or flew away but just watched us very unique experience! After each event the crew was there there to greet us with fresh juice and snacks, life should always be this good Lol! I would highly recommend this adventure cruise from Galaxy to everyone!

Fantastic experience and adventures on a very comfortable boat with excellent food and great people; both guests and staff.
Excellent experience overall. We enjoyed the comfort of the boat and the staff treated us like royalty. The meals served were very very good and they were served at the shared dining table that accommodated all 13 guests on board. We loved that when we returned from an adventure, there would be freshly squeezed juice or tea with a snack waiting for us on the back deck. The adventures included hiking, snorkeling and nature walks and were fantastic. The daily briefings of the our schedule were very helpful. The only negative, was the very early start on the last morning which required us to be packed and out of our cabin at 5 a.m. eating breakfast and ready to depart the boat at 6 am.

Planned perfectly
We loved this trip. Every day we snorkeled, went on a tender ride to explore the coastline, and went on a hike/walk to explore the land. The days were perfectly planned. There were snacks after every activity and the crew was super vigilant about safety and keeping us informed.

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.
