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

- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written January 2026
  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.
