 Galapagos Cruise
There is simply no better way to enjoy time with the other members of your family than on a yachting adventure. The sea brings out the best in our families, and the time we spend together is time we'll always remember. The M/V Galápagos Legend is an ideal expeditionary ship that combines cruising with all the recreational options you would expect and enjoy. Resident naturalists are specially trained to work with small children and with big adults. Enjoy the swimming pool ...yes, that's right... a swimming pool on a Motor yacht! |
