You have arrived at the point where you are ready to plan one of your dream vacations – a trip to the Galapagos Islands, also known as the “Enchanted Isles.” Offering visitors a totally unique landscape, complete with volcanoes, exotic animals, crystal clear waters, and spectacular views at every turn, it’s no wonder that a trip to the Galapagos Islands is a lifetime goal for many travelers.
This is going to be a memorable trip – one that is unlikely to be repeated – so choosing the right boat and the right trip is incredibly important in order to ensure that the Galapagos cruise fulfils and exceeds all of your wildest dreams. In order to cater for all tastes, budgets, and timescales, Voyagers offer a wide variety of Galapagos cruises, so a good way to begin to narrow down the options for which trip you’ll take is to first learn about the differences between traveling by yacht or by small ship.
Galapagos private yacht cruises
There are many ways of making the most of the unique natural beauty of the Galapagos Islands, but few would disagree that by far the most elegant and rewarding method is by sailing in one of the luxury Galapagos yachts which expertly navigate their way around the archipelago. Cruises on board these private yachts offer something truly special to the intrepid explorer of these stunningly beautiful islands, as not only can you enjoy a more intimate, tailored experience of the area, but you can do so in the company of experts and advisers, who are dedicated to ensuring your trip is as luxurious, informative, and inspiring as it can possibly be.
By booking a private Galapagos cruises yacht for your tour, you can benefit from exploring and discovering these islands as part of a small group. This is ideal for those who wish to have a more personal cruise experience, and want to have the opportunity to undertake their holiday of a lifetime in their own way, having the opportunity to construct a personalized itinerary.
Not only this, but you’ll be able to make the most of the amenities on board the luxury cruise yacht, and feel as though you are undertaking a true voyage of discovery as Darwin and the crew of HMS Beagle did, so long ago. Just imagine standing on the deck of a beautiful ocean worthy yacht, seeing the majesty of the Galapagos Islands stretched out before your eyes, the air teeming with bird life, and the marine iguanas drying themselves on the coastal rocks… by booking a trip on one of the many Galapagos yachts, such a dream could easily become a reality.
Galapagos cruises on board small adventure ships
When you join one of the Galapagos vacations on board an adventure cruise ship that expertly navigates its way around one of the most beautiful and unique archipelagos on Earth, you are opening the doors to a world of natural wonder made all the more enjoyable by the luxury you’ll find on board. The adventure cruises that offer vacations in the Galapagos islands are fitted with all the state-of-the-art amenities you need to feel truly at home in this wild and wonderful place, and your vacation will be enhanced with the expert knowledge of the advisers and nature-lovers you’ll be sharing the ocean with.
On board the small cruise ship, you’ll enjoy the heights of comfort, security, and convenience, as well as various possibilities for your entertainment and information. As such, the Galapagos vacations are highly recommended for families, larger groups, and senior citizens who wish to discover the beauty and amazing features of the Galapagos islands for the first time, while enjoying a piece of true luxury and relaxation.
Although a cruise ship carries more passengers, you will still benefit from a personalized and intimate informative experience, as you will visit these world-famous islands in relatively small tour groups of 16 to 20 people. This way, you can take full advantage of the expert guides provided by the cruise ships, who will ensure you miss none of the renowned flora and fauna the Galapagos vacations have to offer.
The ships are fitted with spacious social areas in which you can discuss your discoveries and experiences with your travel companions, and there is always a doctor on board. The broad sun decks are always a popular feature, and you’ll be able to dine on fine international cuisine several times a day.
