Galapagos Family Cruise

7 DAYS Starting from $6,390 per person

This 7-day Galapagos Family Cruise has been carefully crafted with families in mind. You’ll enjoy a fun-filled tour of historic Quito before making your way to the incredible Galapagos archipelago for the 4-night cruise of your dreams. The recently-refurbished Santa Cruz II features five decks, a dedicated kids’ area, and the option of booking interleading cabins. The sophisticated culinary experience and out-of-this-world wildlife adventures will amaze even the most seasoned traveler, while the Young Pirates program (kids’ meals, educational activities, snorkel classes, glass-bottomed boats) will keep the little ones busy and happy.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Spend a full day immersed in the historical wonders of Quito, Ecuador. Try to spot the cathedral’s tortoise-shaped gargoyles and learn how to make an Ecuadorean quesadilla.
  • Visit the Charles Darwin Research Center to learn about the life cycle and conservation of the Galapagos Tortoise. With oh-so-cute babies aplenty and loads of educational info, there is something for everyone.
  • Marvel at penguins, marine iguanas, and seals – not to mention myriad fish – while snorkeling off Isabela and Floreana Islands.
  • For those too young (or old) to snorkel, the Santa Cruz II is equipped with glass-bottomed boats which make the submarine wonders of the Pacific accessible to all.
  • Witness an enormous colony of marine iguanas on the desolate, moon-like landscapes of Fernandina Island. Next, see their landlubbing cousins on the aptly named Dragon Hill.
  • Fill your free time during our Galapagos family cruises with activities including walks along the beach, tanning on the decks or kayaking in the Pacific Ocean.
  • The whole family will love the trippy shoreline of Cormorant Bay whose sands sparkle green thanks to the high level of olivine crystals.
  • As part of the Young Pirates program, kids enjoy child-specific meals (and meal times), movies and activities (everything from bracelet weaving to stargazing)
