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 ever. 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 is traveling with
interesting fellow guests) or a quiet reverie even more pleasurable.
As we voyage from island to island in the archipelago, we’ll
spend time in the richest wild- life locations in Galapagos.
Depending on the season and the island we visit, we may see
riveting blue-footed booby behavior: sky-pointing, parading,
ritual nest building and more. On Floreana, a lovely “garden”
island, we’ll travel to the lagoon & may see the
resident flock of flamingos; and walk to one of the world’s
loveliest beaches, where shy sea turtles mate in the azure
waters. On Genovesa, the frigate-bird colonies resound with
cries and the eye-catching red of their pouches. We’ll
see a variety of marine iguanas. Photograph Sally Lightfoot
crabs gleaming against wet lava rocks. And see the famous
finches. We’ll also enjoy close encounters with the legendary
Galapagos tortoises — at the Darwin Station and depending
on the season, in the wild.
