One of my best voyage, the magic of the Galapagos and the service of the Origin...

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Very easy and after the greeting of the crew, we had the greetings from the local sea lions...

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Less choices than a big ship or a regular cruise, but still plenty, and especially seafood. absolutely gorgeous, the product of the sea are so fresh, i wish i could cook with that..

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
A hot tub looking at a volcanique island is quite special during the day and a cocktail by the fire pit at night not too bad either. I also enjoyed very much the lecture and the passion of the guide about their Island..

Service and Staff

Everyone is on point and here to help you.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I do not know how they do it, the ship is always clean, even when half of the boat is coming back from a snorkeling session or a trekking in the dirt.. Bravo

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We had a balcony suite and it was the right choice, as we enjoy some of our breakfast outside looking at the magnificent islands and water, also very useful after our snorkeling. the bed was very confortable, plenty of room in the bathroom (love the little extra faucet for our drinking water) and the mini walking closet.

Ship tip

Small advice, the water is a bit cold, and you will only have a 2.5 mm shorty wetsuit, so you can either double up the wetsuit ( it works well) or bring your own (but it take space), or bring some wetsuit vest to have under (with a hoodie is the best)..and enjoy the swim with the sea lions..
