It's hard to overstate the majesty of being in the Galapagos on the Daphne. The boat lacks nothing. The rooms are enough, with the bottom bunks being able to fit 2 people (I'm a large American and my gf is tall also, we fit). The public areas are fantastic. Food was great. Guides were some of the best I've ever had. A land tour doesn't measure up. The cruise allows you to experience the Galapagos in ways that are not possible during day tours. Its worth the price tag...Show more
