From giant tortoises, enchanting iguanas, to mesmerising sea lions, South America cruise tours and Galapagos Island cruises give you the chance to get close to wildlife unlike anything else in the globe – literally! With hundreds of endemic species to this archipelago, an expedition cruise to the Galapagos all but guarantees encounters with truly unique animals and plants. What’s more, with practically untouched landscapes outside of the occasional researcher and adventurer, animals here are more than comfortable getting up close and personal. Explore one of the few corners of planet Earth with limited human impact and set sail on a Galapagos cruise.
Deep-sea diving, tranquil bird-watching, to invigorating hikes across long-dormant volcanic landscapes, South America cruise tours are all about exploration and adventure. Furthermore, whoever you decide to sail with, every South American cruise tour will be hosted by passionate explorers of the region. Not only will they provide safe passage throughout your journey, but they also provide you with enriching details about the various islands as well as the best spots to see natural phenomena. Snap a couple of photos while on an island trek, snorkel amongst the vibrant aquatic wildlife, or go kayaking to observe local bird populations, every day is a brand-new venture.
Due to strict laws and protections in place in order to shield the extremely fragile ecosystem, there is a limited amount of Galapagos Island cruises available. Luckily, with generally pleasant weather year-round, you should still have a number of options to choose between no matter when you decide to sail. To choose the best Galapagos cruise, we recommend thinking about what kind of voyage you wish to experience. Some cruise lines have a distinct focus on exploration, with a treasure trove of exciting shore excursions to enjoy on every day of the Galapagos cruise. Other cruise lines prioritise a balance between high-activity adventure and refined luxury once onboard. Regardless of which Galapagos Islands cruise you decide to voyage with, every ship will be undoubtedly be smaller in size and offer plenty of opportunity to truly get to know your fellow guests. More often than not, these ships are even purposefully designed to explore just the Galapagos Islands.
