Tourist superior cruise aboard Samba
Aug 25-1 · 8 days · 1 cabin left
The legendary 14 passenger Samba may be small in size, but it’s big in reputation (Google it). Pioneering the “Active Galapagos” approach to seeing the islands, a cruise on this ship will ensure you are exposed to the best of what the islands have to offer. Top quality naturalist guides have you up early to catch the sunrise as you kayak through the mangroves, or enjoying the last rays of sun on a remote beach at the end of the day, no opportunities go unexplored on the Samba.
