The Solaris is not only a remarkable vessel, but it is also one of our best-selling ships. Its popularity stems from its exceptional features and offerings, which make it a top choice for travelers. One of the standout features is the availability of five single cabins. This is a significant advantage for solo travelers, as they can enjoy their own private space without any additional supplement or sharing. It's a rare find in the Galápagos and greatly enhances the experience for individual adventurers.

Furthermore, the Solaris understands the importance of catering to families as well. With triple cabins available, it offers a family-friendly environment where parents and children can comfortably share a cabin. This is an excellent cost-saving option, as families can enjoy their Galápagos adventure without paying any premium for separate accommodations. The spacious rooms on the upper deck, featuring queen size beds and an additional single bed if needed, provide ample space for families to relax and enjoy their time onboard.

One of the key factors that contribute to the success of the Solaris is the reputation of its owners. They have a proven track record of smooth operations and high customer satisfaction. With their expertise in the industry, they have ensured that every aspect of the ship, from its design to its itineraries, meets the highest standards. This attention to detail and commitment to excellence create an exceptional cruising experience for guests.

From the moment they step aboard, they are greeted with luxurious comfort and exceptional service. The Solaris promises to exceed expectations and leave a lasting impression on every traveler.

Food & Drinks on board the Solaris

The food on our Galapágos Cruises is among the very best you will find in South America. Most of the on-board chefs are internationally trained and have prior experience working in the best hotels and restaurants in Ecuador and indeed around the world.

You can expect a first-class selection of food, including a good variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, locally sourced poultry and fish/seafood, rice and pasta dishes. Most boats will always include some typical Ecuadorian dishes on the menu during your cruise. If you have specific dietary requirements then these can usually be accommodated by the chef providing you have given advance notice. Please make sure you tell us about any allergies or dietary requirements you have at the time you book with us. If you leave it until you arrive at the dockside, then it may well be impossible to accommodate your needs.

Most boats serve a range of options at meal times in a relaxed buffet-style. At the first class and luxury end of the market, some boats have more formal dining where you will be served at your seat. However, the atmosphere is always relaxed on board our cruises, and never stuffy or formal.

Sustainable Tourism

At Galapatours we love and respect the pristine ecosystems and fascinating wildlife of the Galápagos Islands. To protect the archipelago, all vessels in Galápagos must have sophisticated water filtration systems, modern, efficient engines, and strict maintenance schedules to minimize pollution. Furthermore, The Galápagos National Park authority defines exact cruising routes that dictate which ships can visit which highlights at what day and time, as well as limiting passenger numbers.

But at Galapatours we like to go even further: We voluntarily offset all the CO2 emissions of every cruise we sell - at no cost to you. You can also play your part by traveling responsibly and following our Eco Guidelines during your stay.

This trip is not to be missed!!! Galapatours made every arrangement and my travel was easy as a result. The Ship Solaris and her crew are wonderful. The whole experience was top notch and so worth the price. If you want to see Galapagos, I would go with Galapatours!! You will not be sorry! No one picture can do the trip justice. But this was taken on day one! It was just the beginning.

The Solaris is a fabulous ship with exemplary crew and naturalists. The reason I chose this ship is because they don’t have a single supplement and have several single rooms. I’m so glad I went on this boat because it’s small enough to get to know everyone on board as compared to the giant National Geographic ship that I had thought about booking. Every day was a new adventure, and every day something amazing would happen. You do need to be reasonably fit as you are going on and off the ship into zodiacs multiple times a day. I was so impressed with the tours that I extended my stay to include all three itineraries.

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.

Fantastic Trip Hi, we are back home after a great adventure in the Galapagos and Peru. Not sure how to add pictures but the ship is very nice and the CAD pictures are accurate. As this is our first time to the Galapagos I really cant compare with the other yachts /Itineraries. but here is our Overview.. The ship is very well outfitted It can accommodate way more people then the 16 permitted and thus the rooms are quite spacious.Our room had a double and single bed and the bathroom had a shower and twin sinks. Lots of social areas including dining for 16, a lounge area, a smoking area and the whole top floor is a sun deck with some shade(non smoking). There are 2 tables under the shade that can accommodate about 12 people or more. There are 16 loungers that can be moved into sun or shade. There are also some clothes lines along the perimeter that were very well used. All in all a great comfortable ship. The food was very well prepared and varied throughout the trip. There was even a ceviche class. 3 meals per day and no one went hungry. they also accommodate for dietary needs. The drinks. they have a full bar. beer $4-5 wine $6-10 Cocktails from $6-12. My only complaint was that the menu reads that the prices included all taxes but we still were charged a 10% service charge over and above the listed prices. A number of people argued but there was no flexibility here so just be aware of this cost. Also know you have tips for the guide and the staff. Itinerary... We did the 8-day western itinerary that goes around Isabella Island. It was fantastic and full of activities from the day we boarded to the day we departed. We snorkeled 1-2 times every day and Hiked 1-2 times every day except the last day which was a hike at 6:30 am as we had a plane to catch. We did it all but some people elected to skip some activities. Not much free time but there was still some time to relax on the sundeck on a few days . The Guide... This is the luck of the draw as the guides do move around. We had Pedro who has been a guide for 13 years. He was excellent. Overall... a 5 star experience. Source: TripAdvisor

Amazing 8 day cruise We had an amazing time onboard the Solaris on the B tour around the islands. The boat is lovely as are the crew who can't do enough for you. You are busy all day long with shore visits and snorkeling. The food and snacks are plentiful and the chef is happy to help if you don't like what's being served. The only problem with this boat is it does rock n roll a lot when navigating at night from island to island. I can't thank Thomas Richmond enough for all his help when we were looking for this trip of a lifetime and his help and advice after we booked. Source: TripAdvisor

Excellent service for a magnificent tour Thomas Richmond at Galapatours was very helpful and insightful when I was comparing cruises for my Galapagos trip. He was able to find me a spot on a new cruise ship that did not uncharge for single cabins (which is the exception, rather than the rule). I appreciated his professionalism and diligence, and loved my 8 days on the Solaris. Source: TripAdvisor

Majestic Galapagos Diving Cruise

Majestic

**Attention: This ship has been out of service since July 2019.** Its successor is the ship [Tiburon Explorer](https://www.galapatours.com/hosts/tiburon-explorer), which is a quasi identical Galápagos dive cruise to Darwin and Wolf. More info: https://www.galapatours.com/en/tiburon-explorer.html \- Stunning views from the amazing panoramic windows; \- Beautiful sundeck; \- Designed and built specifically for Galápagos; \- First class amenities. The Motor Yacht Galápagos Majestic is one of the most beautiful and unique vessels cruising the Galápagos Islands today. Built specifically for use around the Galápagos Islands in 2013, Majestic features cutting edge design and the latest maritime technology to bring you the most memorable onboard experience in the region. This is First Class adventure in every sense. Your Captain is Otto, who has wide experience around the Galápagos and is assisted by 8 other crew. Among them is chef Giovanni. He's Ecuadorian born, and we think his Encocado de Pescado is the best in the world, closely followed by his Patacones! The crew of Majestic pride themselves on being adaptable to your needs - they will adjust their itinerary to suit you, not the other way around. We discovered that the boat has underwater cameras available for guests to use when snorkeling free of charge if you don't have your own - a really nice touch. **Endless light** The main deck double staterooms on Majestic feature the largest panoramic windows of any boat in the Galápagos fleet. The stunning split-frame design means every single room is flooded with the amazing Galápagos light. Waking up to these views in the morning will take your breath away. These staterooms are always so popular that if you don’t book early you may be disappointed. The lower deck double cabins don’t enjoy the stunning panoramic windows, but clever design and beautiful decor means they too are flooded with light. For maximum flexibility they have beds that can be configured as twin or double to suit your needs. All rooms on board enjoy private en suite bathrooms with plentiful hot water and clean fresh designs. **Open plan relaxation** Communal areas on Majestic are delightful. Again featuring the signature panoramic windows, the spaces are beautifully furnished with gorgeous wooden floors and trims and stylish modern furniture. Everywhere you look you can see the ocean and the islands, making you feel connected to the outdoors even when you are inside. The comfortable lounge area features sumptuous sofas, a large screen TV, sound system, guest library and a modern and inviting bar area. The dining area is relaxed and inviting, and features huge sliding glass doors leading to a delightful sun porch. If you venture to the upper deck you will enjoy one of the finest sundecks in the Galápagos. A bar is ready to serve you drinks of your choice, and there’s plenty of cool shade and comfortable seating. If you want to enjoy the sun there is an expansive open area and the luxury of a jacuzzi tub for some ultimate relaxation! **First class food and service** With a maximum of only 16 passengers at any one time, the Majestic’s 10 crewmembers are able to give superb levels of service. As well as a fully bilingual naturalist guide to make sure you get the most out of your excursions, the highly trained team of chefs will cook a stunning range of delicious Ecuadorian and international specialities to delight your palate after returning from your wildlife adventures. **Our comments** If you can, please book now and secure one of the upper deck cabins - the views are like nothing you will have experienced on a small boat before. If you miss out, don’t worry. The views from the lounge and dining room are just as magical - and this boat has what is probably our favourite sundeck in the Galápagos. You can absolutely tell that this vessel was purpose-built for these islands because she and her crew do the job so well.
