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

  For our 09JUN departure all Upper/Main deck cabins are fully booked. And there is only 1 spot remaining in a Lower deck twin cabin. If you are flexible in dates at all our 21JUL departure has 1 Main deck suite available, that comes with large picture windows. There is also availability in a Lower deck twin cabin that comes with 3 portholes for the third person. All rooming is based on 2 people per cabin as we cannot accommodate triples.
