Amazing Adventure Cruise

Review for a Galapagos Cruise on Santa Cruz II

2-5 Cruises • Age 50s

We were met a the airport and took a motor coach ride to a dock where panga's (inflatable boats) took us to the ship. The embarkation was quick and easy. Our room was very spacious with a large window, closet, and surprisingly large bathroom. The bathroom had a shower with shampoo, conditioner, bath gel provided and were good quality. The bed was very comfortable and the window above the bed had a ...

Interesting policy on locks, big showers, more good than bad

Review for a Galapagos Cruise on La Pinta

6-10 Cruises • Age 60s

The other reviews tell almost all you need to know. I just wanted to add a couple of comments. 1. There are not locks on cabins doors when you are not in the room, it’s company policy and was very strange to me. 2. The showers are huge compared to other ships that are much larger. 3. There were only 20 guests on our cruise and we had a lot of space, I would guess when you get 40+ people ...

Wonderful ship and crew, not so wonderful itinerary

Review for a Galapagos Cruise on Santa Cruz II

2-5 Cruises • Age 50s

My husband and I and our three teen-aged boys recently returned from a spring break trip on the Santa Cruz II, Western Itinerary. We thoroughly enjoyed the Santa Cruz II. Everything was clean and modern. The food was very good and the waiters went out of their way each day to bring my son gluten-free breads and waffles without us ever having to ask. The outdoor deck was lovely. The bar and ...

Onboard Santa Cruz II -- 7-day Eastern Route of the Galapagos Islands

Review for a Galapagos Cruise on Santa Cruz II

10+ Cruises • Age 20s

My husband I and were onboard Santa Cruz II at the end of February for a 7-day, adventure-filled island hopping in the Galapagos Islands. I booked this trip through Metropolitan Touring online. This ship can accommodate 90 passengers, which is on the larger size. This turned out to be a blessing when we hit turbulence in the water while crossing the seas from island to island on several ...

Great ship to see the Galapagos!

Review for a Galapagos Cruise on Santa Cruz II

2-5 Cruises • Age 50s

We chose this ship because is was not too small, nor too large and it was a great choice. We were not able to tour San Cristobal Island before we left, but we were excited to start the cruise and didn't mind. The ships guides and crew take your bags from you at the airport and you find them next in your cabin. They had buses waiting to ferry us to the ship. Pangas: Okay, I was nervous. But ...

Highly recommended. Everything we'd expected and more.

Review for a Galapagos Cruise on La Pinta

MrsAAM
2-5 Cruises • Age 70s

We found the ship to be an ideal size 24 rooms each with a large window, 48 passengers and a total of 32 ish crew (including crew members and naturalists). The food was very good, the staff accommodating, the naturalists ranged from passionate to capable. Safety - of the passengers and the wildlife - seemed of the utmost concern to every member of the team. Excursions were many and varied and ...

Fabulous cruise!

Review for a Galapagos Cruise on Santa Cruz II

2-5 Cruises • Age 50s

I highly recommend this cruise. The staff and naturalists are outstanding. The food is top notch all 3 meals per day and some of the dinners were truly works of art--coconut fish and crab stuffed fish, for example. The desserts were not at the same level and way too heavy on the mouses, but the meals were so satisfying, it didn't matter. The Galapagos are a treasure and seeing the wildlife was ...

We had the most amazing trip on Yacht La Pinta in February 2017

Review for a Galapagos Cruise on La Pinta

2-5 Cruises • Age 50s

We had the most amazing trip on Yacht La Pinta in February 2017. To say it was spectacular was an understatement, Galapagos was everything we expected and Yacht La Pinta was absolutely the perfect way to experience it. When we arrived on board the expedition leader told us this was not a cruise but an "expedition" and he was right! To our great pleasure the activities were endless - we kept ...

Wonderful ship, crew and itinerary... we loved this trip

Review for a Galapagos Cruise on La Pinta

RDEwing
First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

Just back from a wonderful week in the Galapagos Islands aboard La Pinta. It was a wonderful trip. The ship is perfect sized - large enough to accommodate more passengers (most ships this size do) but they keep it feeling small and intimate. The cabins were much bigger than I (as a first time cruiser) expected and were very comfortable. The common spaces were generous and there were three ...

Review for a Galapagos Cruise on Santa Cruz II

LDEE
10+ Cruises • Age 70s

As anyone who has travelled on this vessel can tell you, this is not a traditional cruise. It is a port intensive, early wake-up call, adventure to some very unique islands. First, embarkation does not involve issuance of your cruise card -there are none. Instead you are transferred to the dock by very helpful ship-based staff members. Once at the dock, you don your life jacket and head to the ...
