Luxury Cruise M/C Petrel
The best way to see the Galapagos Islands is, arguably, on board of a luxury cruise, and the in 2015 built Petrel is definitively one of the best options. Guests travel in comfort to the different islands, where they have up-close encounters with blue-footed boobies, iguanas, giant tortoises, whales and more.
The Petrel catamaran offers a true luxury Galapagos cruise and certainly one of the best ways to visit these magical islands. Named after a sea bird common to Galapagos, the Petrel is like its namesake: elegant, swift and silent at sea. A motorized catamaran, the Petrel Galapagos experience will be marked by comfort and stability, the catamaran is outfitted with spacious cabins with private balconies, ample social areas, a comfortable lounge, and Jacuzzi.
