The Danubio Azul is a superb Tourist Class yacht that was launched in August 2016, and fully refurbished for the new diving season in 2019. She offers amongst the best diving itineraries in the fleet, and as well as the world famous Wolf and Darwin dive sites she can visit some of the more intimate and less frequented sites the Galapagos have to offer.

The vessel carries complimentary snorkels and wetsuits, and for divers the price includes your diving Naturalist guide, dive tanks, dumbbells and lead belt. Also available at additional cost is full kit rental, Nitrox (and Nitrox use course if required), speciality cylinder rental. The vessel carries full oxygen emergency apparatus and complete first aid equipment.

This vessel's itineraries are for intermediate and advanced divers only - you will require a minimum of 40 logged dives (including sea diving experience of currents).

We personally cruised with this vessel in 2017. Featuring 5 double cabins, each with air-conditioning and en suite bathrooms, the Danubio Azul features modern, bright and comfortable decor throughout. The cabins were spacious and clean, and all of them had functioning air-conditioners and hot water, and we slept wonderfully on comfortable beds.

We chose a five-day cruise that included South Plaza, Santa Fe, San Cristobal, Floreana and Bartolome - an exceptional itinerary for a short cruise. The captain, cook and guide were extremely friendly and very attentive, as were the two other staff on board. The food was first class with a really excellent variety - something you would only expect on much more expensive classes of vessel.

At Galapatours we were impressed by the Danubio Azul and its staff The Danubio Azul Yacht is one of the smallest and most intimate vessels on the Galapagos Islands with only 5 cabins (up to 14 people) that makes for an ideal cruise experience for families or friends. All in all, this ship, the cabins, the meals, the itineraries and the staff are a perfect combination to visit the Galapagos Islands with an intimate setting.Click here to read less
