Fun for Families

The Galapagos Islands are the cradle of evolution; it is here that Charles Darwin drafted his famous theory, basing it directly on many of the animals found around the area. This is a learning-based trip that they will never forget!

What about the adults, you say? Have no fear! The enchanted isles are replete with activities tailor-made for the grownups in the family. Enjoy a relaxing massage, a fantastic scuba-diving trip to the colorful depths, or a luscious meal aboard one of our cruises (fe personally recommend the Santa Cruz II – it’s ideal for families). There’s fun for everyone in the family at the Galapagos!

The Friend Experience

Kayaking In Galapagos.
The Galapagos Islands Are Perfect For Adventures With Friends And Unique Experiences.

Are you thinking of taking a break from it all with a group of your friends? Caribbean cruises can be tempting – but they offer you a typical experience aboard a massive ship with little room for genuine adventure. The Galapagos Islands offer you an opportunity unlike any other; you’ll be able to participate in a plethora of adventure-activities (kayaking, snorkeling, scuba-diving, trekking, biking, and climbing, to name a few) all while enjoying the comforts of your mid-size, highly personalized cruise. Our cruises only offer room for up to 90 people, meaning you’ll be able to enjoy all of the activities on offer in smaller, more autonomous groups.

If you’re looking to party, many of our cruise ships are equipped with bars and even small party-lounges where you’ll be able to dance the night away. You can also drop by one of the cities in the island for a more localized party experience. The Galapagos Islands offer a spectacular backdrop to any spring break vacation. Pamper yourselves surrounded by sights unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. You won’t regret it – we guarantee it.

Santa Cruz II is a replacement for the much-loved Santa Cruz, which plied the waters of the Galapagos for 36 years. It is not a new ship; it was built in 2002 and sailed as Mare Australis under the Australis cruise brand, operating expedition cruises around Cape Horn and to Antarctica. Metropolitan Touring bought the ship in 2015 and completely refurbished it, launching it as Santa Cruz II in October 2015.
