Polaris
The minute you board our expedition ship Polaris, her mellow woods, polished brass and gracious informality will make you feel right at home. Our Galapagos travel style is casual: there's no need to dress up. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are relaxed and informal, with no assigned seating. Since to us "expedition" doesn't mean "deprivation," count on enjoying genuinely fine dining and the attentive personal service that consistently wins us accolades and industry awards. And Polaris’ inviting spaces — her handsome Teak Deck, spacious lounge and plush library make enjoying camaraderie (after all, one of the chief pleasures of our expeditions is traveling with interesting fellow guests) or a quiet reverie even more pleasurable.
