Galapagos Legend


Expedition Cruising with Resort Comforts

Built in Germany and fully refurbished in 2026, the Galapagos Legend is a boutique expedition ship welcoming up to 100 guests in 52 sea-view cabins. A crew of 60 and seven multilingual naturalist guides ensure attentive, personalized service throughout the voyage.

Designed for life outdoors, the Legend boasts generous open decks, including the only shipboard swimming pool in the Galapagos, two jacuzzis, a sun terrace and private balconies in many of its suites.

Dining is a highlight, from elegant à la carte dinners at the Lonesome George Restaurant, with vegetarian, children’s and kosher-friendly options, to buffet-style BBQ nights at the Al Fresco Restaurant, where two converted lifeboats offer a unique, intimate dining setting.

Guests can also unwind at the Charles Darwin Panorama Lounge Bar, with floor-to-ceiling windows and 24-hour coffee and snacks, or enjoy a cocktail at the poolside Fisherman’s Bar. A spa, fitness center, library, kids’ corner, auditorium and boutique complete the experience.

Why we like this ship

The Galapagos Legend feels like a floating resort, with something for everyone on board. Take a dip in the pool with the islands all around you, share a candlelit dinner inside a lifeboat, or relax with a cocktail as the sun sets over the ocean. It’s ideal for families and travelers who want variety, comfort and plenty of space to enjoy the Galapagos at their own pace.
