Gleeful Galapagos
Seeing the sea lions, swimming with the flightless cormorants and penguins. Cruising with the turtles, visiting the land and marine iguanas. We had a fabulous time with the crew and the many fun activities they planned. It was a well run trip with great food which exceeded our expectations.

A fabulous cruise on the Legend!
We felt well taken care of from the moment we boarded until the time we departed. Such excellent attention was given to every aspect of our experience! Some of the best snorkeling of my life, wildlife galore, delicious food, wonderful guides, and more. We're making plans to do it again with another itinerary!

Una experiencia maravillosa
Es un viaje que superó todas nuestras expectativas. El Crucero Galapagos Legend nos hizo sentir muy especiales en todo momento. Desde la recepción en el aeropuerto, todo está perfectamente planificado y todos están muy preocupados de cuidar a los pasajeros. La tripulación y los guías naturalistas son muy amigables, considerados y amables. Los camarotes son perfectos, camas muy cómodas y espacios amplios, acompañados de hermosas vistas. El baño tiene de todo lo necesario, la temperatura y presión del agua son fantásticas. Las instalaciones del crucero son de primer nivel, cuenta con: piscina, jacuzzi, gimnasio, biblioteca, sala de conferencias, equipo de esnórquel, 2 bares y 2 restaurantes, spa, médico a bordo, recepción, una pequeña tienda de regalos, estación de café 24 horas, y secadora de ropa (muy necesaria). Todas las comidas y bebestibles son excelentes, preparaciones para disfrutar al máximo. Las visitas guiadas son increíbles, recomiendo totalmente hacer el esnórquel siempre que sea posible. Nuestra eterna gratitud para todo el personal a bordo.

Good considering it's the Galapagos
Everything was fine for a big boat for Galapagos standards. Boat especially rooms are showing their age and not very nice at all. Rooms also very small for what is considered a junior suite.
