The Galaxy Orion is a small motor yacht accommodating just 14 guests, offering an intimate and unfussy base for exploring the Galápagos.

The focus here is firmly on the islands themselves, with a straightforward, no-frills approach on board. The atmosphere is relaxed and informal, with a compact lounge and dining area forming the social hub of the vessel. Outside, a shaded deck provides a place to sit back and watch the passing scenery as you navigate between islands.

Cabins are modest but thoughtfully arranged, each with en-suite facilities and air conditioning. Natural light filters in through windows or portholes, making them a comfortable and practical retreat at the end of the day. Meals are taken together in a casual setting, contributing to the easy, sociable feel on board.

  • The Galapagos was as expected beautiful and interesting but we were pleasantly surprised by the visits to the rose plantation and panama hat factory which turned out far more interesting…

    MW, London Jan 2019

  • Two parts: Seeing cotopaxi and the surrounding area for the first time, and stepping off the boat onto floreana and having to avoid sea lions and iguana, magical.
