These three identical luxury ships are perfectly-tailored for a Galapagos Island cruise of maximum comfort

These three identical luxury ships are perfectly-tailored for a Galapagos Islands' cruise of maximum comfort. The boats measure eighty-three feet long and cruise at twelve knots. Each accommodates twenty passengers with two nautical guides per ship to guarantee a superior cruise experience. The air-conditioned Eric/ Letty/ Flamingo all include expansive sundecks, delectable cuisine and well-stocked bars. Each ship is equipped with wetsuits, snorkel gear, and sea kayaks.
 
SCUBA DIVING INFORMATION: Passengers who are certified scuba divers can choose to purchase a scuba package. The package is available every week on the Eric, Letty & Flamingo and includes two dives on Fridays, the option is an intermediate dive at Beagle & Daphne. The cost is $225 per person (2 tanks). On this day, the divers will miss the Highlands and Charles Darwin Center. On the return, you will stop at a tortoise farm or you can visit the Darwin Station on your own. The dive fee includes a dive master, filled tanks, weight belt, weights, BCD, regulator, wet suit, boots, fins and hood. Although not required, we recommend all divers have sufficient experience with at least 20 logged dives or advanced dive certification due to strong currents, cold water, thermo-clines and large marine life.
