Itinerary
Galapagos yachts all operate on a 14 day (2 week) circuit. This circuit is broken into shorter itineraries which can be combined; depending on the yacht, cruises can be as short as 4 days and as long as 15 days.
Starting or ending days are highlighted in the 15 day itinerary (day 1 and day 15 have the same activities); passengers arriving on these days will do the afternoon activity and passengers departing on these days will do the morning activity.
The Majestic offers two itineraries of 8 days, which can be combined to form a complete circuit of 15 days, and one itinerary of 4 days and one itinerary of 5 days. One itinerary travels northwest from San Cristobal and includes Isabela and Fernandina, and the other visits the southern and eastern portion of the islands including Genovesa.
All itineraries listed below are subject to change or modification due to park regulations, airport restrictions, weather conditions, or other circumstances beyond the control of Eos or the yacht operators. They are listed as a service to provide general information as to which places in the Galapagos are typically visited by each yacht cruise.
