8-Time Winner of Travel + Leisure's World's Best Awards (2018–2025)
Enjoy The Summer Adventure Of a Lifetime With Travel+Leisure's #1 Intimate Cruise Line

We know you don't want to go to Galapagos to be tourists. You're a family of adventurers seeking the trip of a lifetime in this one-of-a-kind destination. But going at any random time of the year, or booking just any yacht or with any company won’t guarantee you the legendary peak animal experiences the islands are known for. You need to make certain choices that will guarantee an exceptional Galapagos family experience.

The Summer of 2026 Galapagos Cruise is dedicated to families who have a love for wildlife and the outdoors, who are looking for a bonding family experience, and who all want to be equally amused and entertained. If that style of travel sounds like your family's, traveling between June and August is the perfect time to experience the best of Galapagos with All-inclusive perks including: *Galapagos National Park entrances, Transit Control Cards, free WiFi, and Open Bar (some terms apply).

Travel between June and August and enjoy special summer savings. Save up to 25% off plus complimentary Galapagos flights (savings of up to $2,980 per person) on Evolution departures, or save up to 15% off plus complimentary Galapagos flights (savings up to $2,180 per person) on Grace departures. Book by May 10, 2026 to secure this exclusive offer.
