great deals on galapagos cruises
It just doesn't get any better than a seven night Galapagos Cruise, except when you buy one and get the companion fare at 50% on select cruises. On top of all that, your flight to the Galapagos and entrance fee are paid, making it an additional savings of over $500 a person!
Take a cruise on the first class M/Y Grace, 16 passenger, or M/V Evolution, 32 passenger, and experience the intimate attentions of your natural guide and crew. Stops on the islands will allow viewing of exotic birds and creatures. A blue footed Booby might cross your path while performing its bizzare mating dance or snorkel with sea lions as they play near the beaches. You will be amazed by the wonder of the Galapagos Islands.
