Holiday Cruise Destination

While the holidays render images of family gathered together with one another at home, giving your loved ones the gift of a lifetime on a Galapagos Cruise Ship could begin a whole new tradition.  Traveling to the Galapagos Islands for the holidays onboard the all-suite Galapagos Explorer II provides remarkable luxury, beauty, providing exotic immersion into the #1 adventure destination on the planet.

Imagine experiencing a fun-filled stress free holiday cruise around the islands that Charles Darwin made famous, seeing wildlife up close in the quintessential 'zoo without walls.'  You can enjoy diverse wildlife that includes blue-footed boobies, the magnificent albatrosses, the Galapagos penguin, and the intriguing giant land tortoise for which the island chain is named.

December finds the giant tortoises beginning to lay their eggs.  The elegant green sea turtles begin courting and mating and the first young albatrosses fledge.  Plants in the dry zone 'become green' as seasonal rains set the stage for new leaves, enlivening the islands.  After New Year's both land and water temperatures begin to rise, warming both the heart and souls of nature lovers.

Marine life is teaming with vibrant color grander than any holiday lights, from large schools of multi-colored fish to the prowess of hammerhead sharks.  Whales and dolphins rise majestically from these Pacific waters and both snorkel and scuba diving offers visions of underwater life nestled in volcanic formations deep in the sea.

While on a Galapagos cruise ship, you will enjoy the luxurious accommodations complete with tranquil sea views in 250 square feet of spacious rooms.  Some suites onboard the Explorer II offer private balconies and all sites are equipped with a television, mini bar, internet access and are elegantly appointed.

Set a new holiday tradition by booking three, four or seven night travel on a Galapagos cruise ship for December.  Or, if you'd like to give the ideal holiday stocking stuffer, book tickets for 2012 on a four or six night trip to the most desirable adventure destination on the globe.
