admin Imagine waking up to the sound of gentle waves against a luxury ship hull. Metropolitan Touring just launched two incredible, extended Galapagos itineraries for your next big adventure. These nine-day voyages offer a deeper dive into this iconic and breathtaking volcanic archipelago. Travelers can choose between the Islands of Fire Adventure or the Origin of the Species. Both routes promise immersive experiences that standard shorter cruises simply cannot match right now.
The Islands of Fire Adventure takes place aboard the elegant Isabela II vessel today. This journey covers eight distinct islands including the famous Santa Cruz and Fernandina spots. You will visit the Charles Darwin Research Station to see giant tortoises up close. Snorkeling with playful penguins at Bartolomé remains a massive highlight for every single guest. You can also explore the dramatic cliffs of Buccaneer Cove on the beautiful Santiago Island. Meanwhile, the pristine environment of Isabela Island showcases the raw power of nature perfectly. Genovesa, often called Bird Island, hosts massive colonies of rare and colorful seabirds.
On the other hand, the Origin of the Species Adventure sails on La Pinta. This route begins on Baltra before heading to South Plaza and Santa Fe islands. You might spot the majestic Galapagos hawk soaring high above the rocky island terrain. San Cristóbal offers a unique visit to the protected Cerro Colorado Tortoise Habitat. Guests also enjoy a full day on Española exploring the famous Punta Suárez cliffs. You can snorkel in the crystal-clear waters of Gardner Bay during the sunny afternoon. The trip concludes at Genovesa with sightings of iconic red-footed boobies and short-eared owls.
These new extended Galapagos itineraries function like a double espresso for curious modern travelers. They combine two exceptional routes into one seamless and very luxurious maritime expedition cruise. Families can currently save 50 percent for children between ages six and eleven. Additionally, select departures offer a generous 1,000 dollar discount for early bird bookings. You get to pair high-end comfort with expert-guided excursions across the entire region. This launch marks a significant step for deeper exploration in the world-famous Enchanted Isles.
