ECOVENTURA – GALAPAGOS ISLANDS, ECUADOR

The only Relais & Chateaux boats in the Galapagos, Theory, Origin and Evolve are all 20-passenger yachts, the ultimate Galapagos cruise vessels. Custom-designed for sustainability and comfort, their state of the art design allows for minimal environmental impact as well as less travel time between islands, meaning guests have more time for exploration. Two 7-night itineraries showcase the very best Galapagos has to offer: the magnificent wildlife, stunning landscapes, rich marine environment, and fascinating history. The experienced 13-member Ecuadorian crew includes a high-level captain, a full-time concierge, and two expert naturalist guides – one for every 10 guests, the lowest ratio in the Galapagos.
