Monserrat I 8 Days - Itinerary B + C

• The Monserrat yacht is named after the Virgin of Montserrat, patroness of Catalonia in Spain. For centuries, sailors worldwide have adopted her as their loyal companion affording protection at sea.
• “Attention to detail” is often mentioned in Monserrat trip feedbacks, applying equally to onboard service, and the decor which includes interior Wood-panelling, fine carpeting, and original artwork on the walls.
• Cozy cabins provide comfortable lower beds, twin or double, as well as aircon & hot showers.
• The Monserrat yacht’s roomy social areas include a relaxing lounge, flat screen TV, bar, dining area, boutique and sun deck.
• Travelling at 11 knots, the Monserrat yacht is one of the fastest Galapagos cruise options, meaning visitors can enjoy quicker journies between the islands.

The Galapagos Islands are an archipelago of volcanic islands famous for the fact that they were unpopulated by man until the 1800s and the amazing endemic species, especially the giant tortoises which give the islands their name. The islands are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the surrounding waters are a national park and a biological marine reserve. Of the 18 islands Baltra, Floreana, Isabela, San Cristobal and Santa Cruz are now populated by more than 25 000 people. The original names were given by an English pirate, but the Ecuadorians have given the islands Spanish names. The Islands were made famous by Charles Darwin after he visited them on his scientific voyage on the HMS Beagle and the endemic species here contributed significantly to Darwinian Theory.
