The onboard experience balances relaxation with discovery, ensuring every detail — from fine dining to guided excursions — enhances the journey.
This itinerary covers a captivating route through some of the archipelago’s most diverse landscapes and ecosystems, including Santa Cruz, Rabida, Bartolomé, South Plaza, Santa Fe, and San Cristóbal Islands. Each day reveals new wonders — from hiking the red sands of Rabida and climbing to the volcanic summit of Bartolomé for its iconic Pinnacle Rock view, to observing all three booby species at Pitt Point and snorkeling near Kicker Rock among reef sharks and sea turtles.
