Sightseeing in the Galapagos Islands onboard the Galapagos Explorer |
|
|
Cruise in the Galapagos Islands and celebrate nature on this UNESCO World Heritage Site
| Overview | |
|
Giant tortoises, swooping gulls and friendly sea lions set in the unusual volcanic islands of the Galapagos, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, will make this a holiday to remember. Your island adventure begins at Galapagos Islands onboard the M/V Galapagos Explorer II, a 293 foot, first-class ocean-going cruise ship that carries 100 passengers. Comfortable cabins feature air-conditioning, private bathrooms and a small sitting area. Experienced naturalists lead shore expeditions to seek out wildlife and help you to learn about the fascinating natural history of these volcanic islands. When you’re not exploring, you and your children can enjoy the ship’s pool, solarium and reading room without experiencing the motion of a smaller vessel. Swim with penguins, trek through lava tunnels, snorkel with tropical fish, explore islands on a bicycle or delight in the antics of numerous sea-birds. On this holiday, an array of activities will leave you spoilt for choice!
