Galapagos Cruise Ships

Advantages of travelling aboard a bigger ship

A cruise ship in Galapagos offers several advantages to travelers exploring this unique and fragile ecosystem. One of the main benefits is that it provides a more comfortable and stable platform for exploring the islands. The larger size of the ship allows for a wider range of amenities, including a larger dining area, a spacious lounge, and a more comfortable cabin. Additionally, the big ship can carry more crew members and experienced naturalists, which enhances the overall educational and wildlife-viewing experience. The larger size also allows for more space to store gear and supplies, and more stability during rough seas. Finally, the big ship provides more room for a more diverse and interactive community, including larger groups and families, which can lead to a more engaging and memorable experience.

Solaris Galapagos Cruise

Premium

October 2025

Our guide, Liam, definitely made the trip even more awesome than it already was with the amazing wildlife and nature that we got to experience each day. His enthusiasm for teaching and his love of the islands was infectious and made me want to participate and learn more. Our cruise ship, the Solaris, was stunning, and our crew was top notch. The food was excellent and way better than my expectations. And the people we got to cruise with were all wonderful. Overall it was just a magical experience with new adventures each day. I loved every minute of it.

Galapagos Islands are paradise on Earth. Wonderful crew and guide led us through the wonderful world of nature. All the activities and places were just perfect in every way. When planning the trip we thought it will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience but we are now planning how and how soon to come back. Thank you Galapatours for such a great adventure!

Samba Galapagos Cruise

Classic

The only way to describe my trip is "trip of a lifetime". I was able to snorkel and interact with Seals, Sea lions, Penguins, Sea turtles, Marine iguanas and many other animals. My trip on the Samba was a dream come true. Since the boat is small enough, we were able to turn around a chase after dolphins and blue whales. Larger boats have a hard time doing that. I couldn't have asked for a better crew to guide me through the Galapagos Islands. Our nature guide, Morris, was extremely knowledgeable with the history and the wildlife of the area. He grew up in the Galapagos before leaving for college. The food and service on the boat was spectacular. I also want to call out the travel agency for their hard work in making this trip go so smoothly.

Nemo II Galapagos Cruise

Classic

Cristina Pineda was incredibly helpful. Communication was excellent, and I was even able to extend my ticket at the last minute so I could stay in the Galapagos. The 5-day cruise on the Nemo II was fantastic. Well organized, with a great guide and crew, and a fantastic chef! Choose the Nemo II if you prefer smaller groups and want to enjoy sunsets and sunrises while cruising. Snorkel with penguins, marine iguanas, turtles, sharks, sea lions, and dozens of fish.

Grand Majestic Galapagos Cruise

Luxury

Our Highlights: Swimming with penguins, sea lions, and sea turtles—an unforgettable experience! Our guide, Carlos, was outstanding: knowledgeable, personable, and clearly passionate about the islands. The visits to the tortoise breeding centers were interesting, though they felt a bit repetitive.
