Darwin's Muse
A 15-day Galápagos cruise aboard Grace, calling at Baltra, Santa Cruz, Floreana, Española, San Cristóbal, Santa Fe. Grace links the Galapagos’ southern wildlife islands with the great seabird colonies of the north and the young volcanic landscapes of the west. The first week reaches Floreana and Española, where Post Office Bay, clear snorkeling sites and the cliffs of Suarez Point reveal both human history and remarkable wildlife. Look for seasonal waved albatrosses, Galapagos sea lions and colorful marine life before continuing to San Cristóbal, Santa Fe and South Plaza.
