Galapagos Legend Description

The Galapagos Legend is suited to accommodate up to 100 guests, featuring over 1800 square meters (18,000 square feet) of comfort, entertainment, and amazement as you journey through the Galapagos Islands. The Legend is a unique ship with all the fancy amenities usually found on a cruise liner while offering an intimate atmosphere aboard. These include a sauna, spa, Jacuzzi, pool, running track, exercise equipment, playground, mini-cinema, library, and a conference room for 90. Internet and phone services are available to help you stay connected with the outside world.

Take advantage of the lounge and panoramic windows, or socialize at the bar with new friends you've met while on the cruise. Don't miss the chance to relax in the ship's sauna, spa, or jacuzzi, or enjoy the swimming pool, running track, and exercise equipment. Families onboard don't have to worry about their kids; they can also enjoy the "kids' corner" with a playground, cinema, and loads of interesting books and videos in the library. Learn more about the fascinating Galapagos Islands with the ship's seven multi-lingual guides and feel safe with a crew of 60 and a doctor available 24/7.
