Galápagos Islands Expedition – In Darwin’s Footsteps

➤ 9 days aboard MS Santa Cruz II

➤ Synonymous with Charles Darwin, the Galápagos Islands harbor rich biodiversity and an array of habitats. Explore the islands that Darwin visited and closely observe the endemic wildlife that influenced his discoveries — including giant tortoises, marine iguanas, Blue-footed Boobies, and Darwin’s iconic finches.

Carrying only 90 guests, Santa Cruz II is equipped with everything you need to bring you closer to nature. Kayak on glassy waters, snorkel with amazing marine life, hike through diverse habitats, and even observe coral reefs from a glass-bottom boat. Guided by an entirely local Expedition Team, all activities are included.

After a full day of active exploration, enjoy a drink in the Panorama Lounge before enjoying a delicious meal in the Beagle Restaurant. Share stories with new friends in the Expedition Lounge or simply relax in the hot tub before settling into your comfortable cabin, recharging for the next day’s adventures.
