The Galápagos Islands, 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador, are often described as the most exotic adventure destination. The Islands are universally admired for their unusual, human-tolerant wildlife, surreal volcanic landscapes and dramatic equatorial skies. The unique island environment provides an ideal setting for those interested in photography, hiking, bird watching, snorkeling and kayaking. This 10-day special expedition, unlike any Galápagos cruise, has been designed by the most knowledgeable experts on the Galápagos. On May 6-16, 2009, learn about Darwin’s voyage to the Galápagos Islands over 150 years ago by our on-board guest speakers and tour leaders. Understand Darwin’s discoveries upon his return to England and the effect this new knowledge had on him and the history of the world.
This is the first cruise designed to commemorate Darwin’s historic moments in history. Limited spaces are available for this full 10-day trip for a maximum of 44 passengers. Bookings will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
