UNITED KINGDOM / AGILITYPR.NEWS / October 20, 2026 / The Galápagos Islands, Ecuador’s wildlife-rich archipelago, are explored mostly by boat - and Voyagers Travel Company, which helps travelers plan and compare Galápagos cruises, has added another amazing small-ship option to its curated selection. The Eminence is a luxury yacht with eight cabins and room for 16 guests at most, for a truly exclusive tour. 

The Eminence pairs modern design with a steady, stable ride, and the feel on board is sophisticatedly understated rather than showy. Every cabin has panoramic windows, an en-suite bathroom and its own climate control. Up on the sun deck, the views run a full 360 degrees and there’s an open-air Jacuzzi - perfect for a drink in the evening after a day of wildlife watching!

In the kitchen, the team cooks international dishes around fresh Ecuadorian ingredients, and meals are served in the indoor dining room or outside - whichever guests prefer. Daily snacks come on top of the three main meals. Purified water, coffee and tea are available around the clock, and non-alcoholic drinks are included with meals.

Excursions are led by bilingual naturalist guides certified by the Galápagos National Park, who explain the flora and fauna guests come across. The rate also covers snorkeling gear (mask, snorkel and fins), the use of sea kayaks, and airport transfers on the days cruises begin and end.

Marco Sancho, CEO of Voyagers Travel, says the ship is only half of the decision. “The route is just as important, because each itinerary gets you to different islands and different wildlife. The Galápagos Islands are teeming with biodiversity, and we want our guest to be able to see as much if it as possible through this once-in-a-lifetime cruise. 

“The Eminence is an intimate way to explore, and we’re here to help people work out whether its itineraries and onboard experience are right for them.”

Departures are open for 2027. The season starts on June 14 with a three-night cruise on itinerary C. From there the schedule includes four-night trips and seven-night routes, among them a November 11 departure combining itineraries C and D and a holiday route in December. Availability changes from one departure to the next, and three dates (July, October and December) already have a waitlist.
