High Occupancy Dates and Policies
The best time to cruise the Galapagos Islands is from December to May, when the weather is warm, the ocean is calm, and the skies are crystal clear. These months offer ideal conditions for snorkelling, kayaking, and exploring the islands’ unique wildlife and breathtaking volcanic landscapes, perfect for travellers seeking a truly immersive Galapagos experience.
At the Elite Cruise, we customise our Galapagos itineraries based on our guests’ interests and activity levels to create a luxury cruise experience that’s both comfortable and unforgettable. Whether you’re observing blue-footed boobies, swimming with sea lions, or hiking along lava fields, every day promises a new adventure.
