Highlights of the Beluga Yacht

Category: Luxury
  • The Beluga yacht is a modern and spacious vessel, with excellent reputation for cruising Galapagos waters, having operated since 2006.
  • Panoramic windows in the salon and dining area provide wonderful ocean views whilst you cruise, while wooden interiors provide a high level of comfort.
  • All Beluga cabins have comfortable lower beds (twin or double), and one cabin can even be converted into a triple for family groups.
  • The Beluga is one of few Galapagos yachts to hold Smart Voyager certification, thanks to their strict adherence to conservation standards.
  • As well as the standard shorter cruises, the Beluga yacht also offers extended itineraries of 11, 12 and 15 days, making it possible to see all of the best Galapagos highlights on a single trip.
