San Cristóbal Roundtrip
Ultra-Luxury Galápagos Expedition Cruise: San Cristóbal Roundtrip
This is the summit of Galápagos travel: an all-suite, all-inclusive expedition ship purpose-built for these islands alone, where the comforts of ultra-luxury cruising, butler service for every suite, a choice of restaurants, one of the highest crew-to-guest ratios in the archipelago, are placed entirely at the service of the wildlife. Sailing a roundtrip from San Cristóbal, the voyage reaches the archipelago’s finest corners. You head north to remote Genovesa, the great seabird island, for red-footed boobies, Nazca boobies and day-hunting owls at Prince Philip’s Steps and the sunken caldera of Darwin Bay. You cross to the volcanic west for the lava fields and mangroves of Fernandina and Isabela, meet giant tortoises in the highlands of Santa Cruz and at the Fausto Llerena breeding centre, and stand among waved albatross and blue-footed boobies on Española. A fleet of Zodiacs and a team of Ecuadorian expert guides carry you ashore and into the water each day, before you return to a ship of quiet, sophisticated calm. For the traveller who will accept nothing less than the very best, this is the Galápagos without compromise.

FAQs
Sailing out and back from San Cristóbal, the voyage reaches north to remote Genovesa and west to Fernandina and Isabela, taking in North Seymour, Santiago, Santa Cruz and Española along the way. It is a wide-ranging route that gathers the northern seabird islands, the volcanic west and the classic central and southern wildlife sites in a single week.
The ship is all-suite and all-inclusive, purpose-built for the Galápagos, with butler service for every suite, a choice of restaurants, one of the highest crew-to-guest ratios in the islands and a fleet of Zodiacs. It pairs the comforts of the finest ocean cruising with a genuine, expert-led expedition experience.
It carries around one hundred guests, larger than the intimate yachts in the luxury category but still small by cruising standards and among the most spacious ships permitted in the Galápagos. The scale allows a choice of dining and lounges while keeping shore groups small and personal.
Both. Days are built around twice-daily Zodiac excursions ashore and in the water, led by Ecuadorian expert naturalists, so the wildlife experience is a true expedition. The difference lies in what you return to: an all-suite ship of quiet luxury, fine dining and faultless service.
