What is the difference between a luxury and first-class Galapagos cruise?
Many factors go into the rating of Galapagos cruises, and at first glance it might seem like there is little to choose from between first-class and luxury cruises when looking for the ultimate Galapagos trip of a lifetime.
The main difference between a first-class and a luxury Galapagos cruise vessel is the amount of space. Luxury ships have the largest cabins—in fact, some of them only have suites on board. They also have more public space for relaxing.
Another factor is service. Luxury Galapagos cruises enjoy the highest staff-to-guest ratios, some even at 1:1. This may be obvious at times, for example when it comes to helping you on and off the ship to go on an excursion, or when waiting on you at mealtimes. Or it might be more subtle, such as your suite being immaculately made up several times a day, while you are out snorkeling or eating lunch.

When should I book my luxury Galapagos cruise?
