Legend Vessel

The Galapagos Legend is large enough to comfortably carry 100 passengers while remaining small enough to offer you the intimate experiences with nature that first attracted you to South America’s largest wildlife sanctuary.

Designed specifically for cruising in the archipelago, this 301-foot ocean-going cruise ship has 56 luxurious cabins, all with ocean views. The Galapagos Legend’s fully carpeted guest quarters also have lower beds (NOT bunkbeds), closets and their own private bathrooms with hot & cold water, hair dryers, safe deposit boxes, air-conditioning and an array of other amenities. The larger suites even have one to two balconies, and some of these cabins are interconnected, perfect for small groups and families. Plus — much better than tiny portholes — the cabins’ panoramic picture windows allow you to not only observe the islands but also make you feel part of them.

The ship’s social onboard areas feature a swimming pool, a jogging track, expansive sundecks and observation platforms that allow you to dolphin- and whale-watch while smoothly sailing through the rich Galapagos waters. Other facilities include an outside poolside bar, inside bars, a spacious dining room, a clinic & massage center, a computer station equipped with video games, an auditorium for naturist briefings, and a 24-hour coffee bar.

Families on board the Galapagos Legend don't have to worry about their kids as these younger ones can enjoy the “Kids’ Corner” playground, a cinema and loads of child-friendly books and videos in the library.

At night, guests can enjoy live music at both the piano lounge and the cocktail bars, or you can keep in touch with family and friends using the ships long-distance call facility and the Internet.

Among its courteous, professional team are 60 crewmembers, seven (7) multilingual naturalist guides (each speaking an average of four languages), a concierge, an M.D. who’s always on call, and a chef who will constantly spoil you with inventive combinations of Ecuadorian and international cuisine.

Speaking of dining, the Galapagos Legend’s al fresco dining areas allow you to lunch in the open air or enjoy romantic dinners under the stars; nonetheless, a spacious dining room is also available, as is a comfortable lounge for live “folkloric shows” and “Neptune parties” for celebrating the crossing of the equator, and for even dance lessons.

However, as you’re here primarily to explore the most extraordinary wildlife sanctuary of the Americas, daily shore excursions on different islands are led by the ship’s seven multilingual naturalist guides, who also give daily briefings to prepare passengers for the astonishing islands to be visited the following day.
