Cruising the Galápagos Islands was a dream come true!
Dean and I absolutely enjoyed our cruise! The ship was small as we expected but it was super comfy and clean. Seeing all the wildlife was of course the highlight and we saw everything we hoped to see! Fernanda our naturalist guide was excellent. She was extremely knowledgeable, friendly to everyone and she had great activities planned for us each day which always ran smoothly and on time. Seeing the Galapagos tortoise wasn’t on our cruise plan but Fernanda surprised us all on our last day by taking us to a sanctuary to see them which was fabulous. Our meals were all delicious and all the staff were very friendly and they were always there to help. The other 12 passengers were a great group and we all got on extremely well. It was a truly fabulous experience!

Unforgettable Galapagos Vacation!
Despite an unexpected bout of seasickness, this trip was sublime. The itinerary and description was exactly as described and in most cases exceeded our expectations. We were clearly told the day's plans including excursion details and the staff (Manuel, Anthony, Johnny, Edwin, etc) were ready to greet us when we returned and made sure that everything ran smoothly. Carmen, our naturalist, was a wealth of knowledge about the animals, flora and fauna. Thank you Galaxy Orion for an unforgettable trip.

EPIC and Excellent Service
Dives were epic. The guides were very safe and thorough in the briefing. It was obvious that Jorge really loves ❤️ what he's doing and has a passion and enthusiasm for nature. Food was exceptional and Juanito the bar tender did a fantastic job serving food and making cocktails. Wine selection was dismal but simple cocktails were very nice. Cipriani
