For getting the best views of the Galapagos Islands, head up to the upper deck solarium of the Aqua Galapagos cruise. This area is arranged with comfortable chaise outdoor furniture and showcasing a breathtaking 360-degree panoramic view. Make sure to head up in the evening for a spectacular sunset, and again at night to participate in the rare opportunity to watch the stars in one of the most isolated places on the planet with a unique placement on the equator. Heading down to the main deck, the outdoor shaded lounge area is the perfect place for intimate conversation, feeling the sea breeze, and enjoying a nice glass of wine.

This area includes a large flat-screen television, small library, board games, and a bar stocked with premium liquors, fine wines, and local beers. Your naturalist or diving guide will provide a brief 15-minute presentation every evening on the following day’s activities and all things you need to bring. Three times daily, enjoy world-class meals prepared by the professional sous chef, always a delicious array of local and international cuisine for every guest to enjoy.
