Galapagos Islands First Class and Luxury Cruises
Galapagos Islands Cruise Experiences offer a unique way to explore the archipelago's many uninhabited islands and islets and their diverse landscapes. Cruises allow you to visit multiple islands and islets during your experience, giving you the opportunity to see a wide variety of landscapes and wildlife not accessible on land tours.
There are four levels of Galapagos Islands cruises: Tourist, Tourist Superior, First Class and Luxury, with itineraries to the Western Islands, Northern Islands and Central/Southern/ Eastern Islands. Cruises may range from four to 15 days.
There are also Diving Cruises with 8 day itineraries to Wolf and Darwin Islands in the far north of our archipelego for advanced divers.
Most cruise yachts and catamarans are for 16 passengers plus 8 crew including the bi-lingual naturalist guide. A few, larger boats have capacity for 20, 30, 48, 80 and 100 passengers. One of the key advantages of sailing on a larger boat with a capacity for 32 or more guests is that there is a doctor on board incase of any emergencies.
We work with at least 12 First Class and at least 16 Luxury cruise boats including three Diving cruises all owned by local Galapagos residents which operate itineraries from four days to eight days across our archipelago.
First Class Cruises
With upgraded cabins, service, and onboard amenities, these vessels are comparable to 4-star hotels. Rates generally range from $600 – $800 per person, per day, with an eight day itinerary from $4,800 – $6,400 per person based on two sharing a cabin.
Luxury Cruises
For premium comfort and service, luxury vessels offer spacious suites, fine dining, and more inclusive experiences. Prices usually start from $800 per person, per day and can exceed $1,700, depending on suite category and season. An eight day luxury cruise often ranges from $6,400 – $12,500 + per person based on two sharing a cabin.
Many luxury cruises include excursions, meals, beverages, park fees, transit cards, Wi-Fi, and added onboard services.
A First Class eight day Western Islands Cruise on one of our favourite catamarans and itineraries starts at *$5,600 per person based on a double/ twin share cabin in 2026.
