Blue Spirit
per person
OVERVIEW
Key Features:
- Diving and naturalist cruises
- Comfortable accommodation
Overview:
The Blue Spirit offers both live-aboard diving and naturalist cruises. It is therefore an excellent choice for travelers who want to spend 14 nights in the Galapagos Islands to explore their unique land and marine wildlife without changing boats.
During the 7-night diving cruise, the yacht spends 3 days at the diving hot spots Darwin and Wolf. The 7-night naturalist cruise includes visits to a selection of western, central and southern islands, so you can experience the diversity of the Galapagos archipelago.
The M/Y Blue Spirit was built in 2001 but completely remodeled in 2019. It features spacious social areas and 10 comfortable cabins for up to 16 guests. The yacht’s design and the simple decoration with many wooden elements is both practical and inviting.
