Colon (Cristobal) Cruise Reviews

We are just back from our excursions to the Galapagos aboard the Evolution and then the trip to Machu Picchu. Both adventures of a lifetime! With their assistance we had an extremely smooth and wonderful experience. The crew of the Evolution was super hospitable. The ship is in excellent condition and was perfect for our small group (7 total passengers), making me feel like Bill Gates! Our ...

We choose this cruise because we have travelled with Hurtigruten twice before: the Norway coastal ferry route & Greenland Expedition. We loved both previous cruises for different aspects and were curious how they would do a South American coastal cruise. This cruise was modified the last minute because Peru wouldn't allow ships in if that had a single covid case aboard. Hurtigruten offered ...

Traveling to the Galapagos Islands with Quasar Expeditions aboard the Evolution was one of the best travel experiences I have had so far. We had been looking forward to this trip because it was a destination we had on our Bucket List for a long time, and thanks to Quasar, the trip was everything we had hoped for and more. The whole process, from the contact with the team before the trip, the ...

Our group recently returned from a charter of the Quasar yacht, The Grace, in the Galapagos. The trip was nothing less than perfect! The crew of The Grace attended to our every need and wish, and always did it well and with a big smile. The food was first-rate; the service was impeccable; and they were a great group to spend a week with. The two naturalists on board with us were so knowledgeable, ...

We chose to do a two-week cruise through the Galapagos Islands. It was absolutely magical. Access and proximity to the wildlife was fantastic. We had several options every day to get close to nature: snorkel, kayak, panga ride or hike. Our guides were very knowledgeable about our destinations and prepared us for each activity (wet or dry landing, level of difficulty, expectations on what ...

Long live the Galapagos! Hail to Quasar. They have it all covered.Very competitive rates considering quality, length and detailed itinerary. I was not disappointed. Exceeded my expectations on every level. Staff was amazing. Anticipated every need. Guides were authentic, knowledgeable, humorous, very safety conscious in oft challenging terrain and varying guest abilities. Flawless. The ...

I cannot give enough high praises to the crew and naturalists of the Evolution. My two kids (5 and 9 year olds) and I had the time of our lives! From being told to jump into the pangas to follow the Orcas right after our safety briefing, to snorkeling with sea lions, sharks, octopus, eels, penguins, cormorants, and endless beautiful fish, hiking by 100s of marine iguanas, Christmas iguanas, ...

When friends who had already experienced a Quasar cruise to the Galapagos suggested it as a group trip, we were in immediately and we were never disappointed. Our group of 16 consisted mostly of long-time college friends (and some spouses). From airport pickup to drop-off, we were in great hands with our two guides and an extremely capable staff.The ship was spacious and comfortable, the guides ...

The Galapagos are incredible islands. We were treated to multiple hikes, fantastic snorkeling, and kayaking. The crew exceeded our expectations and the guides, Monica and Cornelia, gave us an incredible amount of information, all while making the days filled with fun and adventure. The intimacy of this yacht was like a private tour of the islands. Thank you Quasar team. We were lucky that ...

We had a wonderful trip on the Grace during March 22-29, 2022. The crew of the Grace was superb, but the two naturalists, Monica Reck and Cornelia Besmer, were fantastic! Smart, exuberant, and fun – we honestly couldn’t have hoped for any better. This was our second trip to the Galapagos, and sailed with Quasar both times. They are the best company to cruise with in the Galapagos. The ...
