A WARM WELCOME TO THE GALÁPAGOS Dear Traveler, We would like to welcome you to the magical archipelago of the Galápagos. In the five years our guests have been traveling these islands, we have had the rare opportunity of understanding how to make travel here special. Though we learned a lot from exploring the islands over the years, we gained the most valuable knowledge about sailing the Galápagos from our fellow travelers. For our guests, luxury cruising here is about much more than the utmost in comfort, style and service. It is about living sustainably, recognizing the authentic character of the Galápagos and paying careful attention to the needs of the inhabitants of the archipelago. From the islands’ volcanic origins to its present-day unique status as a marine reserve and “living museum”, you will see why this wonderous place inspired Darwin’s Theory of Evolution after his visit in 1835. You will learn about the incredible diversity of Ecuadorian food and culture, and gain exclusive access to insider knowledge about the islands’ ecosystem and how it has evolved to be such a delicate and magical place.
