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.

Absoluetly beautiful! Couldnt have gone any better!
Absolutely amazing experience! I loved how the day was kept busy with many activities throughout the day at so many different places. Truly one of the most amazing cruises. The crew was amazing and the food was spectacular. The chefs made everything to perfection with many buffets and desserts after lunch and dinner was definitely a win! Such an amazing experience and definitely worth the money. Wouldn't have wanted to visit the Galapagos any other way! Thank you!

We got a fantastic experience from the crew and felt very welcome!
From start to finish a very hospitable and motivated team (which really came across as a team) that gave you a very welcome feeling, a small drink and/or snack after every activity. A full program with many activities. We had a 4 night cruise so it is very nice to experience a lot. Guide was very good and enthusiastic. Food and drink was excellent. My wife is vegetarian and there was certainly enough attention for that, although the vegetarian dishes could sometimes be a little more original (although we understand that on a ship with small occupancy the possibilities are limited). What also surprised us was that our fellow passengers were usually on the same page: mainly going for the nature experience and little fuss. All very nice, down-to-earth people!

Extraordinary! Wonderful experience and is a great way to explore with family, friends or a solo traveler.
Not only go to these remote islands, but spending time there snorkeling and short land hikes. Learning while doing as the guide explains the nature and history while exploring the unique archipelago of the Galapagos.

- Naturalist guide (Fabian) who you spend a lot of time with was kind, passionate, and knowledgeable. Crew was approachable and friendly. Attention to detail. After each excursion you are greeted with delicious drinks and snacks. Rooms were cleaned multiple times daily. All B, D, L was presented very well and also.

Best time in Galapagos on the Galaxy Orion
The trip to the Galapagos was great, the staff did everything to make us comfortable, the guide knew a lot and conveyed his love for the place to us, the conditions were great and the food was excellent both at meals and every time we returned to the ship, the diving equipment was excellent, except that the room was a bit cramped, other than that it was perfect

The Galapagos dream!
We had a fantastic week onboard the Galaxy Orion. Everything was smoothly organized, and each day was filled with so many activities to fully experience the Galápagos. The crew was wonderful—so friendly, always smiling, and constantly making sure everyone was having a great time. The naturalist guide is such an essential part of the trip. Ours was kind and funny, but above all incredibly knowledgeable about the archipelago—its history, geology, and biology.
