Intimate Luxury Aboard a Storied Vessel

Fresh from a careful refit, Grace pairs the polish of a boutique hotel with the soul of a classic yacht, a truly intimate small-ship Galapagos luxury cruise for just 16 guests. With a high guide-to-guest ratio, Zodiac landings feel unhurried and personal, putting you front row for blue-footed boobies, marine iguanas, and sea turtles, without the crowds. Evenings bring the quiet elegance of a storied vessel famously linked to Princess Grace of Monaco, adding a rare sense of history to every mile you sail.

If you want close-up wildlife, refined comfort, and the charm of a heritage yacht, Grace delivers the Galapagos exactly as you imagined, only more personal.

— Itineraries & Dates —

Two routes. Year-round departures.

Wake to the first light over lava-sculpted shores and a quiet coffee on deck as frigatebirds wheel overhead. After a short Zodiac ride to a secluded landing, your naturalist leads an easy walk time for photos of blue-footed boobies and marine iguanas without the crowds. When the sun warms the bays, slip into calm water for effortless snorkeling with sea lions and reef fish (turtles are frequent cameos), or choose a relaxed coastal Zodiac tour perfect for photography.

Back aboard Grace, linger over al-fresco lunch, read in a sunny nook, or nap to the hush of the equator on this small luxury cruise. As golden hour paints the horizon, join your guides for a friendly recap, then sit down to a dinner celebrating Ecuadorian coastal flavors, and step back outside for stargazing under wide, equatorial skies. It is an unhurried rhythm of discovery and comfort, crafted for travelers who want the Galapagos up close with boutique-yacht ease.

Mornings begin with soft light on volcanic shores and a short briefing before Zodiac landings to intimate sites. After a guided walk, slip into the water for effortless snorkeling with sea lions and reef fish, or choose a relaxed coastal Zodiac tour for photography.

Back aboard Tribute, linger over lunch on deck, nap in the breeze, or swap sightings with fellow travelers. Golden hour brings camera-ready sunsets, followed by a friendly recap with your guides and a dinner that celebrates Ecuadorian coastal flavors. The rhythm is active yet easy in this immersive Galapagos expedition paced for travelers who want depth, comfort, and time to truly take it in.

— FAQ —

Questions, answered.

How far in advance should I book Grace?

With only 16 guests, prime dates on this small-ship Galapagos luxury cruise can sell out 9–12 months ahead (holidays even earlier). If you want specific cabins, or are considering a private charter, place a courtesy hold as soon as you have tentative dates.

What makes Grace different from other Galapagos yachts?

Beyond the intimate size and guiding, Grace carries a unique pedigree, famously tied to Princess Grace of Monaco, and was recently refit to modern luxury standards while retaining classic yacht charm. It’s history, comfort, and close-up exploration in one elegant package.

How do flights and embarkation work for Grace?

Most guests fly to Ecuador via Quito or Guayaquil, then take a short domestic flight to the Galapagos (usually Baltra or San Cristóbal, depending on Grace’s schedule). We will match you to the correct flight, arrange meet-and-greet, and handle transfers by bus and Zodiac straight to the yacht, smooth and simple. Do note the luggage limits on domestic flights (lighter than international), and plan to arrive on the mainland at least one night before your sailing.
