Today, we are the oldest and most experienced Galapagos Islands small ship cruise company.
Our vision is to inspire travel, not tourism, and to provide our guests with the opportunities to establish profound connections with each destination. We wish to create authentic, exclusive, unique and meaningful experiences on both sea and land for each adventurer who steps on board with us.

We believe that the best way to really experience the Galapagos Islands is without heaving crowds of tourists. Therefore, we have developed a safari-style approach to our trips; we deliberately keep our group sizes small and intimate. In Africa, across the vast plains of its nature reserves, the safari lodges hold an average of 24 guests (according to Travel + Leisure and Condé Nast magazines).
The reason for this is simple: wildlife reserves and natural parks are best experienced in small groups, away from the crowds. And we quite agree; we offer intimate cruises for no more than 32 passengers at a time, in order to provide them with the most personalised and exclusive experience. Our guests come to us not just seeking a physical there-and-back trip, but a transformational and authentic experience; they seek a layer of depth and contrast, wishing to establish meaningful connections both with humans and with the earth. We give them that experience, combined with awe-inspiring adventure and five-star cuisine onboard the World's best cruises for Galapagos Islands.
The Quasar Expeditions Cruise Experience
We can promise an in-depth and profound experience of the Galapagos Islands, we can promise a superior team of crew, staff, and guides, all dedicated to giving you the best experience possible. It is our view that what can turn a good trip into an exceptional trip, and an exceptional trip into the trip of a lifetime, hinges on the quality of its staff.
Our years of experience, combined with the style of trip we offer, has enabled us to attract some of the best and friendliest team members we could ask for. And that is not all: our naturalist guides are hand-picked, passionate about what they do and know, and will surely enable you to have the most authentic and fulfilling adventure you could ask for.

At Quasar Expeditions, we pride ourselves on delivering a fast, reliable, and dedicated service to all of our customers.

Where most companies get back to potential clients within 48 hours, our committed team is often already two emails and a phone call in.
This is because we recognise that when considering a Galapagos cruise, budding explorers expect to see value in all directions from the get-go. It is our mission to make every potential guest feel important and valued, from their first enquiry right up until the moment they step onboard with us.
