2 for 1 on Galapagos Cruises in January and February

This is comfortably the best discount on a Galapagos cruise we have ever seen. So if you want a holiday to the Galapagos in early 2009, now is the time to act.

On selected departures of Quasar Nautica’s deluxe Galapagos fleet during January and February they are offering two for one. That is the second passenger in the cabin is free.

The boats are arguably the finest of the small yachts in the Galapagos islands. Prices vary according to cabin.

Grace 18 passenger, super deluxe motor cruiser. Price per person normally £3,200-£3,780pp ($4,750-$5,650pp).

Evolution 32 passengers, deluxe motor cruiser.Price per person normally £2,850-£3,650pp ($4,250-$5,450pp).

Alta 16 passengers, deluxe sail boat. Price per person normally £3,000-£3,100pp ($4,450-$4,650pp).

Parranda 16 passengers, deluxe motor cruiser. Price per person normally £3,000-£3,525pp ($4,450-$5,250pp).

Remember, if there are two of you, only one pays so halve these prices)

January/February is a great time of year on the islands with hot weather, warm water and some rain to make the islands nice and green.

Cruises leave and return on Saturdays so you would need to fly to Ecuador on the Thursday to be safe, have two nights then fly to the islands. You would be back home the following Sunday or Monday depending on carrier.

You’ll need to factor in flights to and from Ecuador as well as a couple of nights on the mainland before the cruise. We can help with any of these arrangements.

As a ballpark figure, flights UK – Ecuador are available online for around £650pp. To this you would add in the order of £400pp for flights to the Galapagos, hotels and transfers.

Total price for a deluxe Galapagos cruise, to and from the UK would therefore be under £2,500pp.
