Buy One Get One Galápagos Expedition Cruise*
Join us on a once-in-a-lifetime voyage of discovery as we witness the iconic wildlife and spectacular landscapes of the Galápagos Islands. This remarkable archipelago is where Darwin developed his theory of evolution, and even today it remains an ecology hotspot and a haven for nature lovers. Sailing aboard our comfortable and small expedition ship MS Santa Cruz II, and with a team of expert local guides to accompany us, you’ll find out for yourself just why these islands are one of the most inspiring places on the planet.
Renowned for their exceptional biodiversity, the Galápagos Islands are home to a wide range of plant and animal species found nowhere else on Earth. As you explore these volcanic islands you can meet the iconic Galapagos Giant Tortoises, marine iguanas, Blue-footed Boobies, and other endemic species.
With our small ship MS Santa Cruz II, we sail amongst these islands and take you away from the crowds for an intimate, unique opportunity to observe wildlife up close in their natural habitats.
