Overview

The Archipel Galapagos Cruise vessels are twin catamarans built in the same year, and share the same specs. These yachts offer a comfortable and modern Galapagos cruise. This catamaran style yacht provides smooth and stable navigation. All eight of the guest cabins offer ocean views, two of which are equipped with a queen-sized bed, while the other six cabins have twin beds. A cozy lounge, sprawling sundeck, and al fresco dining add to the list of creature comforts you’ll find onboard.

The Archipels run nearly identical alternating itineraries, visiting the western islands one week and the eastern islands the next. Combining itineraries will give you options of 11, 12, or 15 day extended cruises.
