While cruising around the Galápagos Islands, we will be staying for 4 nights on the M/V Galápagos Legend. Built in 2001, the Galápagos Legend has 57 cabins and features over 18,000 square feet of comfort and entertainment. The Legend is a unique ship offering all the amenities normally found on a cruise-liner, but with a capacity for only 90 passengers, it enjoys an intimate atmosphere. The ship’s amenities include a sauna, spa, jacuzzi, pool, running track, exercise equipment, mini-cinema, and a library. The crew of 60 includes 7 multi-lingual naturalist guides and a doctor available 24/7. The Legend is large and stable, so those prone to sea sickness will find the Legend a good choice. We are holding Junior Suites for our group. Each Junior Suite is tastefully furnished and features a private bathroom, in-room safe, entertainment system with LCD TVs, hair dryer, and large panoramic windows to immerse yourself in the vast natural landscape. Telephone service and Internet are accessible when anchoring off the main islands. Onboard WiFi is available for an additional fee.
