Galapagos Cruises
Has anyone here ever been on a cruise to the Galapagos Islands? I'm just starting to do research into going on a cruise in mid-2002, and we're thinking about the Galapagos.
What we are looking for:
- A fairly "deluxe" cruise experience. We don't expect maximum opulence on a nature cruise, but we aren't looking for a freighter and we definitely aren't college students. Just a nice, quality ship where we have a decent private room for two people.
- Lots of pinniped viewing. I think this is probably featured on most Galapagos tours, but we definitely want to see both the sea lions and the fur seals that live in the Galapagos.
- We'd possibly consider a mix of nights onshore at a hotel and nights on the boat. But more likely, the whole time on the boat.
Thoughts? Suggestions? Experiences from your cruise?
