Cruise Itineraries  
Choose from 3, 4 and 7-night cruises aboard the All Suite Galapagos Explorer II while in the Galapagos Islands.
A Wonderful Year Round Destination

The Galapagos Archipelago is located 600 miles off the west coast of Ecuador on the Equator and its climate is sub-tropical, which allows cruises to operate on a year round basis. Temperatures are determined almost entirely by the ocean currents. Most birds nest year round, so you can see courtship, mating, chicks hatching and rearing almost any time of the year.
