Oniric Safari Cruises is the Galapagos cruise brand of Andean Travel Company (ATC), an Ecuadorian operator with a long-standing local presence. Its five small vessels have very different personalities: Tribute, Treasure, Solaris, Archipel I, and Aqua. Here you can compare the fleet, explore departure dates and prices, and ask us which ship and route fit the way you want to travel. We are independent Galapagos specialists who know these vessels and the people behind the operation. Ask us about route differences, cabin position, comfort, solo travel, diving, or the practical feel of each ship. You receive the same published fare as booking directly, with independent advice, help arranging flights, hotels, and land extensions, and the additional safety of booking through a German tour operator.
The Oniric fleet spans a wider range than most single Galapagos operators. Tribute is its newest luxury yacht, with eight suites for 16 guests. Treasure is a spacious 16-guest catamaran with private balconies and an outdoor jacuzzi. Solaris combines first-class comfort with five dedicated single cabins that do not carry a solo supplement. Archipel I is the stable, value-led catamaran of the fleet, while Aqua is a compact yacht used for both naturalist voyages and dedicated diving departures. Open the ship cards below for cabins, photographs and specifications; the dates section then shows current departures across all five.

Booking through Galapatours does not add a markup. Our Best Price Guarantee means you receive the same published fare as booking directly with Oniric, while gaining an independent Galapagos specialist on your side. We compare all five Oniric ships with one another and with the wider Galapagos fleet, explaining the trade-offs in route, cabin, vessel stability, comfort, solo pricing and diving focus. We can also arrange the corresponding flights, hotels and land extensions. Your booking is made with Ventura TRAVEL GmbH and includes the financial protection explained here.

Andean Travel Company (ATC) began operating Galapagos cruises in 2007. In 2022, ATC introduced Oniric Safari Cruises as the dedicated identity for its cruise fleet. That history matters because travelers researching the operator may encounter either name: Oniric is the current cruise brand, while ATC is the wider Ecuadorian travel company behind it.
The five ships serve genuinely different travelers. Tribute and Treasure lead the comfort end; Solaris is unusually practical for solo travelers; Archipel I prioritizes stable catamaran navigation and value; Aqua can operate both naturalist and dive-focused voyages. The right choice starts with what you want to do and see, then moves to cabin layout, comfort and budget. No ship is automatically best for everyone.
Oniric states that part of its revenue supports Galapagos conservation organizations and that it is working on long-term fleet energy efficiency. Our role is to put those claims, the vessels and their itineraries into practical context. Use the broader Galapagos cruise search when you want to compare beyond Oniric, or ask us directly which ship and route best fit your plans.
