Onboard Amenities
Dining & Beverages
Dining on board is a social and flavorful experience, with all meals served in a buffet style. The menu highlights local Ecuadorian and international cuisine, prepared fresh daily by the onboard chef using locally sourced ingredients. Special dietary requirements, such as vegetarian or vegan options, are happily accommodated when requested in advance. Snacks are available throughout the day to keep guests energized between island excursions, and a selection of beer and wine is available for purchase to enjoy with your meals.
Shore excursions & land activities
The Anahi focuses on naturalist-led exploration rather than traditional scuba diving. Guests enjoy world-class snorkeling opportunities in the Galapagos, where the water is teeming with marine life. You can expect to swim alongside playful sea lions, Galapagos penguins, marine iguanas, and a variety of tropical fish in their natural, undisturbed habitats. Daily activities include guided snorkeling excursions and kayaking around the islands, allowing for intimate wildlife encounters both above and below the surface. The naturalist guides are experts in the local marine environment, ensuring that every water-based activity is safe, educational, and respectful of the delicate Galapagos ecosystem.

How to Get There
Fly into mainland Ecuador first: Quito (UIO) or Guayaquil (GYE). · Continue on a domestic flight (approx. 2–3 h) to Baltra (GPS) or San Cristóbal (SCY), depending on where your ship embarks.
Visa & Entry Requirements
Your cruise visits Ecuador (including the Galápagos Islands). Visa requirements, electronic travel authorisations and passport-validity rules depend on your nationality and travel documents. Check the current official guidance linked below, including transit-country rules, before travelling. · Ecuador’s official entry guidance lists six months of passport validity for visitors travelling on a passport. Some South American nationals may use an eligible national identity document instead. Certain nationalities require a visa before arrival; check the official nationality list rather than assuming visa-free entry. Source checked on 15 October 2026.

A deposit (usually 25-35%) is due upon confirmation. The remaining balance is typically due 4-8 weeks before departure, depending on the operator.

How do I get to the cruise ship?
Adventure cruise ships embark at a designated port or meeting point, depending on the itinerary.

Bring sturdy, closed-toe walking shoes with good grip for shore visits, and comfortable clothing suited to your destination's weather. Pack breathable layers, a sun hat and sun protection for warm regions; for colder or wetter conditions, add warm layers and a waterproof, windproof jacket. Check the operator's packing list for landing footwear, any supplied equipment and specific requirements.
