What Our Clients Say
Mark Harris and Karen Harvey
The Archipel II is a lovely catamaran with very spacious and immaculately clean rooms, outstanding service and attention to detail, food of a very high standard, and great itinerary. The cruise was enjoyed by all passengers.
Seb Bacon
The overall cruise was very good - professional crew, lots of effort put into the food (although not much choice for vegetarians), very clean, smooth organisation throughout, comfortable facilities, and excellent value!
Cheri Myers
The Archipel yacht is very well-kept and the crew deserve many kudos as they were more than I could have ever asked for - each and every crew member went out of his way to make us feel welcomed. I highly recommend this Galapagos cruise.
