Your ship: Elite

The Galápagos Elite has taken her maiden Galápagos cruise in June 2019. Her owners tell us: "When the Elite reaches the azure waters of the Galápagos Islands as the newest yacht in the islands, it will reinvent luxury, comfort and class!" This exciting new luxury yacht has been completely custom-designed for sailing around Galápagos. Her twin-hull catamaran configuration will provide guests with an extremely stable cruising experience giving guests a far smoother ride that older single-hull boats can hope to offer.

Food & Drinks

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.

Great ship and the guide Enrique was excellent My son and I had a wonderful time! The accommodations, the sites we visited, the weather, the guides, the food – everything was first class and I would not hesitate for a second to recommend your cruise to anyone. As a matter of fact, I have given your name to a person who is looking to give her husband a surprise trip for his birthday. Our guide, Enrique, was excellent and the nature walks with him were full of information. He was very charismatic and handled his job with fun as well as professionalism. I honestly cannot think of a constructive recommendation. Everything was first class. Many thanks again! Source: https://www.goldengalapagoscruises.com/reviews-galapagos-cruise
