Reconstructed in the year 2007, the Galapagos Legend is one of the most talked about additions to the expanding Galapagos cruising fleet. The Galapagos 5-star, expedition-style Galapagos Legend, holds up to 100 discriminating explorers per naturalist cruise. The Legend's 3, 4, and 7-night options that are offered year round are the way to go! The legend is also available for charter.

The Legend offers all the amenities of a larger cruise vessel. However, she is small, which provides an intimate cruising experience with nature which brings you to visit the Galapagos Islands. The Galapagos Legend has been created as one of the most comfortable Galapagos adventure cruises available and it is a great choice for passengers traveling as a family, groups traveling together, as well as, an incentive for corporate travel to the Galapagos and Ecuador. She is outfitted with the latest safety equipment and has an extremely friendly staff that leads you through the Galapagos with charm and friendship.

This is a grand vessel that will be your home in the Islands and a legend in your memory, the M/V Galapagos Legend.

Veterans of the Galapagos cruise industry consider the "Legend" to be among the finest cruise ships offering bi-weekly naturalist cruise departures in the Archipelago for these reasons: The Galapagos Legend has a length of 92 meters/300 feet, 5 spacious decks, spacious public areas, well appointed cabins and suites, conference room, medical facilities staffed by an M.D., a crew of 55, and 6 multilingual naturalist guides as well as some of the most technologically advanced safety equipment in the Galapagos waters.

Guests can benefit from the added comfort of extra space in the decorated cabins and suites, most with ocean views, and the newest addition to the suite categories are the "Galapagos Balcony Suites." These new suites are very spacious and can easily hold a family of 3 in comfort. In either 2 twin beds and a sofa-bed, or 1 queen bed and a sofa-bed. The Balcony is just about the largest available among the Galapagos ship. With about 60 Square feet of space it easily holds a table, as well as, 2 chair with additional walking space if needed. Their are a total of 9 brand new "Galapagos Balcony Suites" available, these suites work great when families utilize them as interconnecting suites as you can open the sliding door to create one very large suite.

All of the cabins and suites are outfitted with the following important amenities: wardrobes and private facilities offering hot and cold water, hair dryer, safe deposit boxes, and other amenities. The facilities include an auditorium for conferences, multiple social areas, Ecuadorian and international specialties at the dining room, coffee bar, a swimming pool with broad sun decks and observation platforms.  The dress is casual; cruising in the Galapagos is an adventure!

At night, guests can enjoy live music at the lounge, cocktails at the bar, or an in-room cocktail. Cool down with the wonderful Galapagos Island air in the Galapagos Legend's swimming pool. The Legend is also equipped with an "a la carte" spa, where you can choose from a variety of spa treatments. Enjoy two family style local BBQ's per week on the top deck of the Legend, where you will also find the newest modern "chill-out" beds to take in the Galapagos breezes while enjoying a meal or just to rest and read a book. The Galapagos Legend features a Kids corner equipped with soft padding, stuffed animals, and a variety of video games and movies, which are available during daytime hours.

The viewing and interaction possibilities in the Galapagos Island waters are endless. Penguins frolic underneath and sea lions cavort and play while rays elegantly glide under the boat. Glistening schools of fish disperse when sea turtles fly through the water. Do not forget that the Legend has a glass bottom boat for passengers to observe the Galapagos sea life without having to get in the water!

We pride ourselves for having a very highly trained cruise staff and crew onboard. The M/V Galapagos Legend's highly skilled team of up to 7 naturalist guides (each speaks an average of 3 or 4 languages) is among the finest of any ship cruising in the Galapagos waters and has one of the most popular itinerary approved by the Galapagos National Park Authorities!
