A Galapagos Island vacation cruise travels to the remote islands that are 620 miles west of South America.
Famous for its fearless and unique wildlife, it is a paradise for natural historians. Visitors get up close and personal with giant tortoises, penguins, sea lions, marine iguanas and many different species of birds.
The volcanic islands have a stark beauty that has attracted people since Charles Darwin’s visit in 1835. A cruise to the islands on the Explorer II is an experience in luxury travel. The accommodations are suites only and there are many activities on board to make the journey half the fun.
Visitors are welcome to participate in:
- Lectures on the islands by a naturalist guide who is licensed by the Galapagos National Park.
- Cocktail lessons by the innovative bartenders.
- Naturalist programs where visitors go in-depth on the marine and terrestrial life of the islands and the biological and physical processes of the islands.
- Spanish Classes
- Whale Watching
- Chocolate tasting from some of the top cocoa for which Ecuador is famous as well as seeing an exhibition of the history of cocoa in Ecuador.
- Dubbing towels, which is a little like creating animals out of balloons, but they use towels. There are examples of these cute creatures put in every room daily.
The ship has first class amenities including an internet station, an excellent restaurant that is vegetarian-friendly, lounge areas, piano bars indoors and outdoors, hot tubs, coffee station, sun decks and much more. Visitors enjoy the glass bottom boat rides around the islands, snorkeling and hiking on their excursions to the islands.
