From Quito to Guayaquil
From Quito to Guayaquil
12 June
Quito is Ecuador's lofty capital, a fascinating city with a dramatic setting high in the Andes. Most visitors gravitate towards the beautiful UNESCO-listed Old Town, packed full of colonial treasures such as the Monastery of San Francisco and the Metropolitan Cathedral. Quito is also a great place to get a taste for the traditional culture of the Sierra, and if you get a chance we'd recommend making the trip out of the city to nearby Otovalo for its famously colourful indigenous market.

In our opinion this city is fine, but there is really nothing unmissable here. Don’t miss flying away from here to visit the Galapagos!
The ship
Based in the Galapagos year-round, this purpose-built 96-guest expedition vessel is packed full of tools for exploration.
What we love
With a host of 'Tools for Exploration', including a glass-bottom boat, underwater cameras, kayaks, and stand-up paddleboards you'll be able to make the most of an unforgettable destination.

visit our faqsAbsolutely. Expedition cruises often start and end in remote destinations, and we're able to arrange everything from flights and transfers to hotels and tours. If you're keen to make the most of your time away with bespoke arrangements, we can help with all your travel needs to make sure your trip is exceptional. What's more, we are members of ABTA and we offer full ATOL protection, not to mention a 24-hour emergency contact, to give you complete peace of mind.
You'll save money and time by booking with us rather than directly with the cruise line, as well as enjoying more flexibility in your travel arrangements. We have access to preferential rates and exclusive offers, and we offer expert advice on how to get the best value.
Itineraries are planned to deliver an unforgettable experience of the destination, so days are filled with landings ashore via the ship's fleet of Zodiacs (sturdy rubber boats) or exploration along the coastline. It will vary depending on itinerary and operators, so it's best to contact us to discuss but rest assured an expedition cruise is focused on the time you spend off the ship.
