Designed and built in Ecuador in 2011, the Sea Star Journey is the perfect blend of contemporary design and luxurious accommodation for your Galápagos cruise. The operators have cleverly designed three different itineraries, each with a different flavor, allowing you to explore different aspects of the Galápagos. You can even combine them to extend your trip and see more of this unique archipelago. Just speak to one of our Galápagos experts to tailor this cruise to your exact requirements. **Luxurious surroundings** As you sail between the stunning islands of the archipelago, the Sea Star Journey will provide you with a superb luxury experience. The yacht accommodates a maximum of 16 passengers, ensuring an unrivalled level of personal service and comfort. There's a choice of suites on board to suit your needs, including twin and double bed accommodations. The twin suites on the upper deck can be connected, making them ideal for families or those travelling in groups. All Sea Star Journey suites feature independent air conditioning, flat-screen televisions, DVD players, stunning private bathrooms with premium biodegradable toiletries, and panoramic windows that bring the sights of the Galápagos right into your room. For the ultimate travel experience, consider the Sea Star Suite on the upper deck. This suite has been designed to feel like your very own apartment in the Galápagos. In addition to a king-size bed, the suite features a sumptuous lounge area and the largest panoramic windows on board. **Space to relax** Despite her boutique luxury style, Sea Star Journey is a relaxed yacht. In the cozy dining room, you'll enjoy a range of stunning international and Ecuadorian dishes created by our experienced chef. A well-stocked bar offers soft drinks, juices, beer, wine, premium spirits and cocktails. Complimentary coffee, tea and bottled water are available 24/7. **Soak up the sun** The beautiful sundeck offers plenty of shade for when the equatorial sun is too strong, as well as ample sunbathing areas for those who want to soak up the rays! There are two Jacuzzi pools, one covered and one in the sun, to suit all tastes. The whole area has been thoughtfully designed to provide a mix of social spaces and areas of privacy. **Our comments**. Sea Star Journey is one of our favourite yachts. A Sea Star cruise offers a superb mix of high-end luxury and a fantastic, friendly and welcoming ambience. The sundeck is amazing – one of the largest in this class of yacht. And it's incredible to have two pools – one for sun lovers and one for those who prefer the shade. **Owned by a local family** What makes this experience even more special is the Tipan Mora family, who have been deeply involved in the Galápagos since 1991. They are dedicated to providing travelers with the best experience possible while supporting conservation efforts. Two key family members, Williams and Mayra, serve as guides and are part of the operations team, providing a personal insight into the unique wonders of the Galápagos. Every guest on the Sea Star is treated like family, thanks to the Tipan Mora family's extensive experience in customer service and meticulous attention to detail. This ensures memorable experiences both on board and ashore, making your Galápagos adventure truly exceptional.

Grand Majestic

Our favorite is the luxurious al fresco dining area up on the sundeck, offering absolutely stunning views as you enjoy the finest Ecuadorian and international cuisine and wines. The main deck houses the indoor dining area, extensively stocked bar, and a wonderfully comfortable saloon area featuring a stunning communal leather sofa. This is the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing drink before dinner after your day's adventures, or to listen to your naturalist guide brief you about the wonders in store for you on your next excursion.

Grace

Built as a luxury plaything for the super-rich in the 1920s, used by the British as part of the war effort in the 1940s, bought by the world's most famous shipping magnate in the 1950s, host to Winston Churchill twice, then given as a wedding gift to the most glamorous couple of the century who honeymooned on board. This boat truly is a remarkable slice of history. Acquired by the current owners in 2007, they then spent 2 years completely refurbishing her into what is now the most beautiful and elegant way to see the wonders of Galápagos. Timeless luxury As befits the boat that was owned and honeymooned on by Prince Rainier and Princess Grace (Kelly) of Monaco, Motor Yacht Grace is simply stunning.

Two further master suites are available, each with queen bed, gorgeous teak decking, and wonderful panoramic windows. There are also twin suites, and premium twin staterooms available.

To this end, Grace offers two remarkable itineraries to choose from - one focusing on the western islands, and one for the eastern islands. These itineraries have been designed to get you up close and personal with the most iconic species and habitats that the islands have to offer.
