Quasar Expeditions has explored the Galapagos since 1986 and today operates two very different luxury yachts: the 16-guest Grace and the 32-guest Evolution. This page brings the complete Quasar Galapagos fleet, departure dates and practical booking information together so you can compare both yachts properly. We are independent Galapagos specialists, have worked with these ships for years and know the people behind the operation. Ask us about cabins, routes, naturalist guides, conditions at sea or atmosphere. You receive the same published fare as with a direct booking, plus independent advice, help arranging flights, hotels and mainland Ecuador extensions, and the additional security of booking through a German tour operator. We will help you decide which yacht best matches your travel priorities.
The complete Quasar Expeditions Galapagos fleet consists of two yachts. Grace carries 16 guests and combines an unusually intimate expedition with the character of a historic vessel once used by Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier on their honeymoon. Evolution carries 32 guests and offers more shared space, a broad sundeck and the livelier atmosphere of a larger expedition yacht while excursions remain organized in smaller guide groups. This is not a simple luxury ranking. Grace suits travelers drawn to privacy, history and a smaller onboard circle; Evolution can suit those who value extra room and a slightly more social setting. Open the yacht cards below for photographs, cabins and specifications, then compare the routes as carefully as the ships. The right choice depends on your priorities, not on a league table.

Booking with Galapatours does not add a markup. Our Best Price Guarantee means you receive the same published fare as when booking directly, while gaining an independent Galapagos specialist on your side. We will tell you honestly whether Grace's intimate historic character or Evolution's roomier format fits your priorities, and we can compare both with the wider Galapagos fleet without favoring an operator. We look at route, cabin, deck space, guide-group size, comfort and budget. That honest comparison is the point. We can also arrange flights, hotels and mainland extensions. Your booking is made with Ventura TRAVEL GmbH and includes the financial protection explained here. Prefer to discuss it personally? Book a free online consultation.

Quasar Expeditions is an Ecuadorian-owned family company founded in 1986. Its roots are in the Galapagos, although the company now also creates journeys elsewhere in South America. The Galapagos operation remains deliberately focused: two yachts, experienced naturalist guides and an emphasis on small-group exploration rather than a large fleet of interchangeable vessels.
Grace and Evolution express that approach in different ways. Grace carries fewer guests and brings genuine maritime history to the journey. Evolution doubles the guest count but provides more physical space and a classic expedition-ship feel. Both are premium choices, yet neither yacht can compensate for selecting the wrong circuit. Visitor sites, cruise length, seasonal wildlife and the balance between walking, snorkeling and navigation often matter more than royal history or the size of a sundeck.
Choose the route first, then decide which Quasar yacht makes that route comfortable for you. That keeps the wildlife experience at the center of the decision. Our guide to choosing the right Galapagos cruise length explains the main trade-offs, while the full Galapagos cruise search lets you compare Quasar Expeditions with the wider fleet.
