How to find the best value Galápagos cruise
The Galápagos Islands are one of the last unspoilt habitats left in the world, and a "must see" for many travelers—certainly a "bucket list" destination! Because of the remoteness of the Galápagos and the limited number of visitors permitted, there is always a premium associated with any Galápagos cruise. To find the best value Galápagos cruise, be flexible with your dates. Using our custom search filter allows you to check out the best Galápagos cruise itinerary within a range of dates. You will find better prices if you can be flexible. We can often find bargains if you are prepared to travel on short notice—call us for some amazing last-minute deals! Another tip is to be flexible about the ship. If your main reason for visiting the islands is to see the stunning Galápagos wildlife, perhaps a budget-class ship will suit you fine. But if this is a trip-of-a-lifetime, or you are celebrating a special occasion, then treat yourself to a touch of luxury!

How to choose the best Galápagos cruise and itinerary
When it comes to selecting the best Galápagos cruise itinerary, TripAdvisor and other review sites can give you a flavor for individual ships and crews, but they often won't go into detail about the itineraries, excursions, and other activities you will be able to enjoy on your Galápagos adventure. Using our unique search filters allows you to tailor every aspect of your trip—from your ideal budget and preferred level of luxury, to the itinerary duration and even which islands, visitor sites, and wildlife you want to see. In our opinion, a 4-day Galápagos cruise is too short to get a real experience of the archipelago. For the best Galápagos cruise itinerary, our experts recommend at least a 5-day cruise. An 8-day or even longer Galápagos cruise is ideal. The best cruise ships in Galápagos are always in high demand, so we strongly recommend booking at least three months in advance if you can. Our Galápagos experts can help you plan all aspects of your trip, ensuring you select the very best Galápagos cruise for your needs. Call or live chat with us now!
