UnCruise Adventures offers 10 Galápagos cruises in 2017, with the new nine-day itinerary visiting colonial Quito for two days before spending a week cruising the Galápagos islands. In Quito, guests spend two nights at Casa Gangotean, a 31-guestroom boutique hotel. Available experiences include walking cultural and food tours, with visits to landmarks and museums, as well as private dining at premier restaurants. The six-night, seven-day island cruise sails from Isla Baltra, with stops at Seymour Norte, Isabela, Fernandina, Rabida, Santa Cruz and Floreana. Travelers enjoy excursions to the Charles Darwin Research Center, the Punta Vicente Roca geological marine site and the red beach of Isla Rabida. Other activities include water sports and adventure activities. “Visiting the Galápagos Islands is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for most people. The wildlife encounters here are unforgettable, and combined with time in Quito, it’s a well-rounded tour of two must-see UNESCO sites,” said Captain Dan Blanchard, CEO, UnCruise Adventures. The itinerary is restricted to 48 guests aboard La Pinta. The 10 cruise departure dates include Feb. 22, March 22, April 19, May 3, May 17, June 28, July 12, July 26, Aug. 9 and Oct. 4. The experience includes two-nights accommodations in Quito; flights between Quito and the islands; entry fees to national parks and preserves; transfers; tours and activities; select dining in Quito; and all meals and drinks aboard La Pinta. The excursion begins at $8,295 per person.
