Cruise Description
4 Night Cruise sailing from Baltra roundtrip onboard Santa Cruz II. Hotel stay pre-cruise in Quito.
Cruise Overview:
Beautiful Quito
Quito is one of South America’s most alluring capitals and a World Heritage City of graceful Spanish-era architecture, packed with cosy restaurants and artisanal shops. With two overnights here, you’ll have time to taste delicious Ecuadorian specialities and stroll through colourful markets brimming with local handicrafts. On the second day here you’ll visit Quito's historic centre on a guided tour and go to the ‘Middle of the World City’ where you can stand with one foot on either side of the Equator.
Awe-inspiring Galápagos Islands
Next, you’ll journey to the uniquely inspiring isles of Galápagos and visit the islands of Santiago, Rábida and Bartolomé, Genovesa and Santa Cruz. Here you’ll experience an array of beautiful landscapes harbouring a variety of ecosystems and see iconic wildlife such as marine iguanas, giant tortoises, Nazca Boobies and Darwin’s Finches, and on this active cruise, with an onboard Expedition Team of local guides, you'll get closer to the many natural wonders in our small panga boats, kayaks and glass-bottom boat.
