Galapagos Cruise Reviews

The trip to Galapagos exceeded my expectations. We chose the 10 day vacation with pre and post cruise stays in Quito. Celebrity representatives met us at the airport and everything went smoothly. JW Marriott was beautiful although we didn't have much time to explore. We arrived late the first night and took a taxi (Celebrity called for us) to a restaurant for lunch to meet our group. Missed tour ...

We are so impressed with the whole process with Quasar, from booking all the way to the end. They made us feel like we were the only passengers. Thank you Diane. The food was amazing and creative thanks to David our Chef. Arianna our Cruise Director was totally responsive to every tiny detail. Javier our bartender (which everyone loved) was a creative mixologist and could make anything and ...

I was extremely fortunate that my husband gifted me a Galapagos trip on the Grace for my 70th birthday. This trip far exceeded my highest expectations, it was simply exquisite! The scenic beauty, adventurous excursions on land and at sea, and the convivial company of 14 other guests (who became family day two), made for a ONCE IN A LIFETIME experience that I will always treasure. The Grace is ...

I have cruised and traveled all over the world for 40 yrs. Crystal, Seabourn, Viking, etc. My Rating: The Flora Ship 6 out of 10. The crew 9 out 10. The food 5 out 10. Regular cabin with balcony, 4 out 10. The excursions and what we actually experienced 2 out 10. Excursions were the MAJOR disappointment of the trip. Considering the time, energy and money expended on ...

Galapagos is a famous destination, however the experience you live and remember has a lot to do on how you travel. It is a whole new level, another world opens when you cruise the Galapagos Islands on board National Geographic Islander II. Detailed service, exquisite food, several expedition choices, superb accommodations and a team of naturalists that makes you enjoy the wonders of the ...

We have talked about going to the Galapagos for the last 10 years, and we finally took the plunge last month. This trip was for 3 of us, with my wife and I and our 27 year old son. I was initially interested in Silversea, as we have had an excellent experience with them, but their ship in the Galapagos has the maximum of 100 people (local laws restrict vessel guest count to minimize impact to ...

We chose the Xploration bc it was a small ship and we wanted to have as much time with nature as possible and not waiting around in line behind a ship full of people to go on excursions. We sailed 12/16/23. I am including all the things I was surprised about. The Xploration is good bc you get more time snorkeling bc the ship is smaller and is closer to the sites than the other 2 ...

The Galapagos islands are absolutely amazing. The unique landscape, the dedication to preserving the islands, the knowledge of the guides and most of all, the yacht we were on was MAGNIFICENT! The Aqua Mare is, hands down, the finest ship in the Galapagos. There are no words to express how incredible, other than magical! Everything was amazing – the yacht, the crew, the menu and food, the ...

I really wanted to go to the Galapagos but I did not know how to put together a trip. After too much research I called Quasar to find out about their cruises. Diane was so impressive I decided to put down a deposit. I had some anxiety about this trip. It involved a lot of bits and pieces. I also wondered if I could keep up. By the time I arrived at the Wyndham, which was great, a lot of my anxiety ...

From the moment we stepped aboard Grace Yacht, we were surprised by the an atmosphere and the attentive service of all the crew. The yacht, with its rich history, offered an incredible cruising experience around what I now consider to be the world's most beautiful archipelago. Our cabin was spacious, very clean and extremely comfortable, and it became the perfect place to get some much deserved ...
