COMFORT AND STYLE ON BOARD
Experience the Galapagos in comfort and style on board the 32 passenger ship, Evolution. Experience the islands on board a small expedition ship, whilst in the company of two expert naturalist guides.
Evolution features a lounge with a bar and facilities for lectures, slide shows and films. The lounge is also home to a comprehensive library with a wide range of books, movies and board games. The yacht has both inside and al-fresco dining areas and a sky deck lounge on the Albatross deck with a bar and beautiful rattan furniture.
Evolution features a Jacuzzi (great after snorkeling) with lounge chairs for sunbathing, extensive outside areas, sea kayaks, snorkeling gear and wetsuits. There is a boutique onboard for purchasing amenities and souvenirs and a reception area where your cruise director can always be found. The yacht also features a fully equipped infirmary.
Cabins are split between three decks and all have air-conditioning and en suite bathrooms. Cormorant and Darwin deck cabins have portholes and Albatross deck cabins have windows. Cabins feature either a queen or twin beds (the majority of twin-bedded cabins can be reconfigured as king).

The Ultimate Travel Company created a completely bespoke trip for us. Every detail was carefully thought through. From handpicked hotels and seamless flights to unforgettable tours and local experiences, nothing was off the shelf. Just excellent, personalised service from start to finish.
We had a wonderful safari experience in South Luangwa, Zambia this September. Despite a few unexpected setbacks behind the scenes, everything ran seamlessly for us. Our driver and guide were outstanding, and the standard of accommodation was truly first class.
