Travel story
From the ancient capital Quito on the equator to the untouched paradise of the Galápagos Islands, this is an inspiring cruise that combines time at sea and on land.
Stroll through historic Quito and enjoy the curious gravity experiences at the Equator Monument, then fly to the Galápagos.
From there you board a cruise ship and the voyage begins. Enjoy stunning natural scenery—white sandy beaches, lava flows, and twin craters—both from the sea and on land. Encounters with endemic wildlife await at sites like Prince Philip’s Steps and Darwin Bay. During free time you can visit lagoons or the Charles Darwin Research Station and make your own discoveries.
This is an uplifting sea journey that blends relaxed time aboard with island adventures.
