“A new island every day. A different world with every landing”

Expedition cruises

An expedition cruise is one of the most rewarding ways to experience the Galapagos. As you sail from island to island, you reach remote places and head ashore or out on the water each day. Walk among sea lions and iguanas, snorkel with sea turtles and explore the archipelago in the company of expert naturalist guides.

Your ship becomes your base throughout the journey. Most days include several activities, from guided walks and snorkelling to excursions by panga. As much of the sailing takes place at night, you can often wake up alongside a new island.

From small yachts to luxury catamarans and dedicated dive vessels, there is a wide choice of ships. But choosing the right cruise is about more than the vessel itself. Your itinerary determines which islands you visit and the landscapes and wildlife you may encounter along the way. Aves Travels will help you find the combination of ship, itinerary and duration that best suits your interests.
