An intimate motor yacht offering relaxed comfort and expertly guided Galápagos discovery
For a small-scale and engaging way to explore the Galápagos islands, Galaxy Orion offers an intimate mid-range cruising experience. Accommodating just 14 guests, this motor yacht creates a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, ideal for travellers who value personalised service and close access to wildlife-rich shores.
The yacht features eight well-appointed cabins across the lower, main and upper decks, available in double or twin configurations. Each cabin is air conditioned and includes a private bathroom, providing a comfortable retreat after time ashore. On the main deck, a shaded al fresco lounge offers an inviting space to unwind while sailing between islands, with uninterrupted views of the surrounding seascape.
With an attentive guide-to-guest ratio, expert naturalist guidance is central to every departure. Kayaking and snorkelling excursions allow for varied perspectives of the archipelago, while guided landings bring you closer to its distinctive landscapes and wildlife. Evenings are relaxed, often spent in the cosy lounge or bar reflecting on the day’s sightings.
Meals are freshly prepared on board, combining Ecuadorian ingredients with international favourites. After dinner, guests can retire to their cabins for a restful night before the next day’s exploration. With three, four and seven-night itineraries available, Galaxy Orion provides a comfortable and enriching introduction to the Galápagos islands.
