Services On Board

The Journey I is one of the most luxurious cruise boats cruising the Galapagos Islands. This is due to our dedications in designing the most comforatable catamaran available. We have worked with the same passage and dedication to create a service standard second to none (worldwide)

Our crew to guest ratio is almost 1 to 1 (11 crew members for 16 passengers). We are the only small yacht in the Islands to have a 24/7 cruise director on board.

Each of our crew members has several years experience and shares our vision of offering the finest experience to our guests. We are prepared to  pamper you and offer you creature comforts so your visit to the Islands is to admire the survival of the fittest without having to endure it.

After a full day of visits you will get to learn a little more about the sights you visited and will be able to ask your guide specific questions about wildlife, geology, marinelife, biology, and other topics that interest you regarding the Islands. You will find your evening briefings are also a great opportunity to get to know your fellow travellers and share anecdotes from the days activities.

We believe that the key to a great itenerary is variety, the M/C Journey I visits several types of ecosystems within the Galapagos Archipelago. Each Island is different offering a unique aspect of the Galapagos National Park. You will find your trip to include several types of landscapes, a good combination of bird sightings as well as visits to land and marine iguana sighting areas, research centers and tortoise breeding projects. The itenerary is also optimized, sailings are short and land/snorkel visits are longer.

You will find that apart from being a spacious and comfortable yacht the M/C Journey I carries state of the art navigational and communications equipment on board. It also carries entertainment equipment such as snorkelling gear, wetsuits, sea kayaks,a DVD player with a flat panel screen and other amenities on board. There is a dryer on board in case you need to throw in some clothes you would like to rewear.

Each meal on board is a celebration of the taste buds, our chef will prepare the finest international and local dishes using fresh ingredients of the highest quality.
