The Galapagos is a premium tourist destination that’s often frequented by the rich and famous. Many travelers write the islands off as a destination that’s too expensive. However, there are lots of ways you can save on a Galapagos luxury cruise. Follow these tips and join the likes of Princess Grace and Aristotle Onassis to experience this natural wonderland for yourself.
Travel Around Peak Season
The climate in the Galapagos Islands stays fairly constant all year round. But, while there’s no right and wrong time to go for good weather, traveling off-peak is usually cheaper. Instead of visiting during the busiest times of the year (Christmas and New Year), arrive after everyone else has gone home. You’ll usually be able to find specials over late January into February along with some of the clearest skies and calmest waters. Fall is another great time to travel and with fewer people around, you’ll be able to enjoy having the islands to yourself.
Choose A Deluxe Stateroom
If availability permits, book a deluxe stateroom. Although they’re not as spacious as some of the higher category rooms, you’ll still have the luxury and comfort of a premium ship. On board, you’ll also eat and explore with the rest of the passengers while saving on the cost of your Galapagos cruise.
Consider the All-Inclusive Cost
Although Galapagos cruises may initially seem expensive, they include your accommodations, daily activities, buffet breakfast and lunches with a gourmet dinner. When you break this down to a daily rate and compare it to the cost of booking hotels and tours separately as well as adding on the potential cost of food, they’re actually a fairly inexpensive way to travel. You’re also not hit with unexpected costs like resort fees, gear rental and airport transfers.
Book 2 weeks in the Galapagos and Save
Quasar's 8 day/7night M/Y Grace and M/V Evolution cruises are designed to be combined into a full 2-week cruise. It’s the ultimate Galapagos experience and you’ll also save 10% on the cost of the 2nd cruise.
