Servering og drikke
Måltidene om bord er et av høydepunktene på reisen, med en herlig blanding av lokale ecuadorianske retter og internasjonalt kjøkken. Maten serveres på ulike måter, inkludert bugnende bufféer og faste middagsmenyer, noe som sikrer deg en variert og smakfull kulinarisk opplevelse. Spesielle kostholdsbehov, som vegetariske eller veganske alternativer, tilpasses så lenge du gir beskjed på forhånd. Opplevelsen kompletteres med velkomstcocktailer og et utvalg av øl og vin, som gjør hvert måltid til en sosial og hyggelig begivenhet.
Shore excursions & land activities
The Galapagos offers a world-class marine experience, characterized by its unique biodiversity and the opportunity to encounter iconic species such as hammerhead sharks, sea lions, marine iguanas, and penguins. The diving and snorkeling conditions vary throughout the year, with warmer waters in the north and cooler, nutrient-rich currents in the central and southern regions that attract large pelagic life. Excursions are expertly guided by professional naturalists who prioritize safety and environmental conservation. Guests can expect well-organized daily activities, including panga rides, snorkeling sessions, and land-based hikes, all designed to provide an immersive encounter with the archipelago's endemic wildlife.

Travel Insurance
We recommend comprehensive travel insurance for every cruise, covering trip cancellation and interruption, medical treatment and emergency evacuation abroad, and baggage loss or delay. · Remote destinations such as the Galápagos, Antarctica or the Arctic make evacuation cover especially important.
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.

Booking & Travel FAQ
How does the booking process work?
Select a cabin and departure on Galaxy Orion, and we send a real-time inquiry to the operator. After availability is confirmed, you receive a booking confirmation by email and secure your spot with a deposit.
When do I need to pay?
A deposit (usually 25-35%) is due upon confirmation. The remaining balance is typically due 4-8 weeks before departure, depending on the operator.
What documents will I receive?
After your final payment, you'll receive a travel voucher with meeting point, embarkation time, airport transfer details, packing tips, and your full itinerary.
How do I get to the cruise ship?
Adventure cruise ships embark at a designated port or meeting point, depending on the itinerary. Some operators arrange airport pickup, group flights or transfers; check your booking confirmation and travel voucher for what is included. We recommend arriving in the gateway city at least one day before departure, unless your operator provides different instructions.
What clothing and footwear should I bring?
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.
Can I cancel or change my booking?
Cancellation terms vary by operator and are in your confirmation. Generally, the earlier you cancel the higher the refund. Changes depend on availability, contact us as soon as possible.
