Reconstructed in 2005, one of the most talked about additions to the expanding Galapagos fleet, the modern 5-star, expedition-style M/V Galapagos Legend sets sail with a maximum of 100 discriminating explorers per cruise. The Legend's 3, 4, and 7-night weekly year 'round voyages turn Darwin's "living laboratory" into a course in evolution and natural history. The legend is also available for charter.

With 2,746 GRTs, the Legend offers all the amenities of a larger cruise liner, yet she is small enough for that intimate experience with nature that brings you to the Galapagos. This ship has been designed for the most comfortable Galapagos adventure and it is a great choice for individual passengers or group incentive and corporate meeting travel.

Veterans of the Galapagos cruise industry consider the "Legend" to be among the finest cruise liner offering weekly naturalist cruises in the Archipelago for these reasons: The Galapagos Legend has a length of 91.5 meters/300 feet,
5 decks, spacious public areas, elegantly 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 our tastefully decorated cabins and suites, most with ocean views, wardrobes, and private facilities, offering hot and cold water, hair dryer, safe deposit boxes and other amenities.
Other facilities include an auditorium for conferences, multiple social areas, Ecuadorian and international specialties at the dining room, coffee bar, swimming pool with broad sun decks, and observation platforms.
	At night, guests can enjoy live music at the piano lounge, cocktail bars or computers equipped with games.
We pride ourselves for having a highly trained hotel staff and ship crew.
	The cuisine is among the finest in the Galapagos. Talented chefs prepare a selection of international and Ecuadorian specialties. The dress is casual, for cruising the Galapagos is an adventure!
The viewing and interacting possibilities in the Galapagos 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!
	The M/V Galapagos Legend's highly skilled team of 6 naturalist guides (each speaks an average of 4 languages) is among the finest of any ship cruising in the Galapagos waters.
The bridge features state-of-the-art navigation and security electronics. Visits to the bridge are conducted during the cruise.
	Galapagos cruising is informal and, above all, quite an adventure!
This is a grand vessel that will be your home in the Islands and a legend in your memory, the M/V Galapagos Legend.

The Galapagos Legend was built in Germany and is registered in Ecuador.
