what's the cost if I travel alone?

As a solo traveler we have an additional cost and final price is usd 10530

Is she allowed on the cruise or too young for this cruise tour?

Most of cruises accept kinds older than 10 years old.

Can you please confirm what ship/vessel is doing Decemeber 27-Jan 4, 9 days tour?

Is there a phone number or an agent to speak with?

In June of 2023, we are going to have a group traveling to Galapagos. Wondering if you can operate the cruise for us?

Yes we can offer this program for your group next February 2023. Can you please tell us if you will be able to have 16 pax or less than that?

would like to book this tour, however, there are somethings they want to know and manage. they will be arriving in Galapagos 2 days before the tour starts and they don't need the night in Quito. transfer also from way back to Galapagos is not needed. can you confirm if there will be a difference on the cost? can you advise pax where they need you to meet them? will they have a special dinner for Christmas and New year night?

This is the only option available starting on Dec 24 until Dec 31. As We mentioned all cruises are fully booked for December festivities so the Luxury Cruise that still have 2 spaces is HORIZON TRIMARAN.

Is the airfare included from Quito to the Galapagos and back. It says is not included on the itinerary but when paying it showing an airfare ticket cost of USD $460 we need to pay. Would this cruise also be departing on July 9th as it says it leaves everyday. Would you be able to confirm the prices for a Main or Upperdeck Cabin

We have a Luxury Cruise departure on July 9, so you should arrive on July 8 in Ecuador. It is 8 Days in Galapagos + 1 Day in Ecuador mainland. This is a different program in comparison to our original program. We only guarabtee prices after payment. As you can see on detail the price is usd 11500 per person + 580 usd for Air ticket you pay locally
