Grand Majestic Galapagos Kreuzfahrt

TRIP OF A LIFETIME

We just returned from a 5-day cruise aboard the Grand Majestic, which we booked through Galapatours, and I can't even give it a high enough rating! If I could give higher than 5 stars I would! I was extremely pleased with the guidance we received from Thomas Richmond, who was very thorough and prompt answering my many questions at every step of the trip. It seemed like no matter what time of day I reached out, he responded within the hour. I know it's tricky business traveling during a pandemic, but let me say, this seems to be THE BEST TIME to go to the Galapagos... with hardly anyone else there. It was a magical experience for us... most of the places we went, we were the ONLY ship there. LOVED the size of our cruise... just 14 passengers on the Grand Majestic. PERFECT SIZE!!! The crew on the ship was remarkable... some of the hardest-working crew I've ever seen! The cruise was as luxurious as they promised... for example, you'd come back from snorkeling, step foot on the boat and they'd peel your wetsuit off of you, rinse your feet, hand you a towel and a hot chocolate and invite you up on deck for fresh-cooked snacks and fruit. INCREDIBLE FOOD, GORGEOUS ship (do you know you have a FULL-SIZE WALK IN SHOWER in your room? With a giant window so you can watch the scenery go by while you shower? DIVINE!). I truly cannot recommend this tour company or the Grand Majestic enough. We are so happy we decided to go and I will say that EVERYONE we encountered in the Galapagos and mainland Ecuador was THRILLED to have our business.

Dream Trip!

We booked a 3 night cruise on the Grand Majestic which was just wonderful! Mr. Thomas Richmond helped us with the entire booking process and answered all of our questions that we had before the trip. The boat was extremely comfortable, the staff were very kind, especially Mayra and Salomão! The food was wonderful, everything was always fresh and very tasty. Every day we had activities in the morning and in the afternoon, always accompanied by our guide Gustavo, who had a vast knowledge of the islands, fauna and flora of the region. We started our trip in San Cristobal, went to Floreana, Española and ended the trip in Santa Cruz. Our days at the Grand Majestic were fantastic and we will definitely return to the Galapagos one day to visit other islands.

Grand And Majestic Galapagos

From July 11 through July 22, 2019, my wife and I sailed aboard the Grand Majestic in the Galapagos Islands. We booked this trip through Galapatours and their agent, Thomas Richmond. In booking our trip, Mr. Richmond answered all of our questions and made sure our flights from Quito to Baltra and our return from San Cristobal to Quito were properly and timely booked. He made certain that we aware of the things we needed to do in preparation at our end. Someone met us at the Quito airport to help us through the check-in process and two people met us at Baltra to get us through the entry process onto the Galapagos and to our boat. The trip was aboard an eight cabin, 16 guest yacht that was almost brand new. The crew was always there to make sure we were safe and comfortable and got to see and do as much as possible. The food was excellent with numerous choices at every meal. It is hard to say whether the best part of the trip were our multiple snorkeling adventures (where we saw and swam with sea turtles, marine iguanas, sea lions, multiple tropical fish, rays, star fish) or the information we received from our extremely knowledgeable naturalists (Gabi and James) on our many guided walks. We cannot recommend Galapatours, Mr. Richmond or The Grand Majestic any more highly. It was a great trip.
