For many travelers, there is a hesitation of taking a cruise in the future. But the Galapagos Islands is a unique place to visit and cruising is perhaps the best way to visit the archipelago.
And for some, especially family groups, chartering a yacht can offer some security and safety in the post-pandemic travel era.
The boats offer new protocols for Covid-19 that ensure peace of mind. From first class to luxury yachts and catamarans, smaller yachts permit private chartered cruises for up to 16 passengers, in eight double cabins, making an ideal trip for families or a group of friends.
