Galapagos Small Ship Cruises
There's no better way to explore the Galápagos Islands than to sail on a multi-day live-aboard cruise ship. Touring Galapagos has chosen a select new fleet of Small Galápagos Cruises. Most live-aboard cruise ships in the Galápagos carry less than 20 passengers. Smaller Yachts can provide an intimate experience, the similar luxurious amenities available on larger ships, and ensure the same Level 3 naturalist guides and personalized service.
The Galápagos National Park regulates the number of tourists and yachts allowed to operate in the area to avoid overcrowding and to lessen the environmental impact, which helps minimize stress on the amazing animals of the Galápagos. Picture this: the number of tourists allowed in one year in Galapagos cruises is the same as what a sport's stadium gets in one day! So you now know that Galapagos is not a mass destination.
We offer Galápagos Cruises for 4-day, 5-day, 6-day or 8-day all-inclusive itineraries year around. Please check the below Galapagos Cruise availability with one of our Trip Designers at (404) 971-8113 or send your request by using our Contact Us Form
2024 Galapagos Small Ship Cruises - Luxury Yachts and Catamarans
Exploring in the Footsteps of Darwin
All our expedition options provide you with a safe, active, educational, and fun experience enhanced by the Big 15 Endemic Species found in the Galapagos Islands. All islands in the Galápagos and their natural heritage are absolutely different. Some have labelled them as worlds within a world, and each world holds a bizarre collection of varied wildlife, thus offering surprisingly different experiences within an area many might from afar imagine as homogenous. Spread out among them, the big 15 endemic species are animal highlights that guide you to the best way to experience the Galápagos.
Close to 1,000 kilometres (620 miles) from the coast of South America, the islands are so far away that they were nearly inaccessible to animals from the mainland when they emerged from the Pacific Ocean. Eruptions, erosion, and physical changes have shaped the islands in incredible ways. They also didn’t appear at the same time: the oldest islands are in the east, the newest rising from the west. Wildlife that gradually settled certain locations adapted to ever-changing conditions, resulting in unique specialisations, thus limiting where they can be found. This makes travel between the islands so different, and what makes each Touring Galapagos itinerary so spectacular.
