For a Memorable Vacation, Try a Cruise in the Galapagos Islands.

By Austin Thomas


For a holiday of natural beauty and spectacular wildlife, try the Galapagos Islands. The Galapagos Islands are located about 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador. You'll find thousands of species of animals not found anyplace else and find out more about how the ocean currents have affected the climate and species development over the course of history, as well as the volcanoes that still affect the islands.

One way to visit the Galapagos is on a cruise. There are a number of luxury cruise options that may offer you the holiday of a lifetime. You can compare options and find the best one for you.

Galapagos Cruises are luxury accommodations with a highly-trained staff that is there to be sure that that your trip is pleasant and worry free from beginning to end. The ship has connoisseur dining, large areas to socialize in, areas for sunbathing, a spa, and high tech navigation and safety equipment.

There are many Galapagos cruise options available, allowing guests to plot a trip that suits their style, and explore the islands with the aid of trained naturalists, whether by hiking, snorkeling, or glass-bottom ship.

Looking for Something New? Try the Galapagos Islands.

A cruise of the Galapagos permits you to notice the differences among the species from island to island. If you look closely, you'll notice how different the finches, or buntings, are from one island to the next. The finches were one of the species studied by Charles Darwin on his expedition to the Galapagos in the 1800s.

There are several different Galapagos cruises available, from yachts with sails to luxury boats, to large ships with room for 90 passengers. Each cruise has its own highly trained guide to show you around the islands and explain the animal species and what they intended to Darwin's studies.

There are one or two hotels on the islands, for those who wish to stay on land instead of on a ship. On Santa Cruz Island is the Royal Palm hotel, and exclusive, isolated property. There's also the award winning Finch Bay Eco resort and private beach. Or you can go with the Red Mangrove Galapagos Lodge tours, where you move between three islands over the course of five days.
