Galapagos is a HOT Destination Now!

 I want to tell you why the Galapagos Islands is the top tourist destination right now. It's HOT!


Cruise Planners recently hosted a webinar in conjunction with Celebrity Cruises. We were amazed at the incredible interest and subsequent bookings for both 2021 and 2022 cruises to this fascinating place. Ecuador and the Galapagos are one of the few destinations that are currently open to American tourists. This is good news because these destinations are on many peoples' bucket lists!

The Galapagos is an archipelago of 13 major islands and several smaller ones. As you are no doubt aware, this magical place was the inspiration for Charles Darwin's "Theory of Evolution" with its abundant flora and wildlife. Many of these creatures are found no where else in the world! 


These islands are located 600 miles off mainland Ecuador. Each island has unique landscapes with volcanic rocks. Due to the lack of predators, these creatures allow visitors to get "up close and personal". This is also a diver's paradise with an amazing array of plant and animal species.

These beautiful islands are protected, and visitors are shown the beauty of the islands by a licensed guide with the Galapagos National Park. The best way to visit this incredible place is by taking a small expedition cruise.


We work with several different suppliers who offer expedition cruises. While Viking is known for their culturally enriching river cruises and small ship ocean cruises, they are now offering small expedition cruises with just 90 guests on board to the Galapagos. They will also be offering land excursions in Peru with access to the renowned Machu Picchu area.
