(EMAILWIRE.COM, September 23, 2009 ) QUITO, Ecuador: Discerning travelers seeking a once-in-a-lifetime trip need to look no further than the Galapagos Islands. And there’s no better way to see these “islands of fire” than onboard the Galapagos Odyssey. The Odyssey is a new, 16-passenger luxury yacht.
Situated on the equator some 600 miles off the coast of South America, the Galapagos Islands are a remote volcanic archipelago that remains much as it was millions of years ago. Over the course of centuries, animal and plant life from the Americas reached the islands and gradually evolved into new new forms. Many of its species are found nowhere else on earth. Travelers to these enchanted “Islands of Fire” are treated to abundant wildlife including 140 species of birds, giant tortoises, sea turtles, sea lions and seals. The fauna is equally spectacular due to seven climate zones found in the islands.
The Odyssey allows travelers to truly experience survival of the fittest in the islands without having to endure it themselves. The Odyssey is designed especially for small groups to offer guests more privacy and comfort while reducing the impact on the fragile Galapagos eco-system. The Odyssey features:
• Redesigned double lower berth cabins with private bathrooms, hot water showers and air conditioning
• Standard oceanview and panoramic views with windows that open
• Outside observation decks that grant stunning, scenic views
• Fine dining room and on-deck alfresco dining areas
• Hot water Jacuzzi and sun bathing chaises on the sun deck
Cruising the Galapagos on the Odyssey also means guests have the best tour guides in the islands.
“Our guides are natives to the Galapagos Islands,” said Marcel Perkins, owner of Latin Trails. “We have built our itineraries with the help of the Galapagos National Park to include the best wildlife trails and most sought after visitor sights.”
