  Galapagos


Many destinations promise visitors the chance to "step back into history." A cruise to the Galapagos Islands perhaps best exemplifies that promise, as we take you to a destination that helped to shape one of the world's leading scientific doctrines.

The Galapagos are known as the inspiration for Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, this cluster of islands is so isolated that many of its creatures cannot be found anywhere else on earth.

Giant Galapagos tortoises grunt in distant highlands. Prehistoric marine iguanas spit their salty spray. Flightless cormorants and tiny penguins dart through the surrounding waters. Storm petrels “walk” across its surface and graceful red-billed tropicbirds screech across the sky.

A new day in the Galapagos begins its wildlife symphony. With a Galapagos naturalist at our side, we set out each day in the early morning and afternoon, to remarkable ecosystems where the wildlife is most abundant and active.

Inching our way past lounging iguanas and sea lions, scouting for breaching whales offshore and pink flamingos at hidden lagoons, we marvel at the strangeness of the Galapagos creatures on these desolate volcanic isles much as Charles Darwin did nearly two centuries ago.

There is nothing quite like exploring the trail of Darwin through the Galapagos Islands, with the odd creatures that populate this isolated world filling every niche around you. The Galapagos are an archipelago of several volcanic islands located in the Pacific Ocean, about 650 miles west of Ecuador.


Enjoy up-close views of specially adapted animals, plants and terrain that inspired Charles Darwin on his first theories of evolution. Superbly remote yet surprisingly easy to get to, the Galapagos is a world within itself, with the odd creatures that populate this isolated world filling every niche around you.

The Galapagos Islands afford visitors the chance to observe a living laboratory of adaptation.
