The Beluga Galapagos cruise contains a variety of cabins perfect for any traveler. A huge bonus is a triple cabin (a rare commodity in Galapagos Yachts), perfect for families that want to stick together. Make sure to book this well in advance with us, as they go fast. Alternatively, choose between standard doubles and twin cabins found throughout the levels of the ship. For those apprehensive of motion sickness, book in the lower deck where the motion is offset by the lower position. These feature a porthole to allow for the sun to help illuminate the room. Otherwise, the upper deck cabins are excellent options for those that want a spectacular view, equipped with large rectangular windows featuring panoramic windows of the Islands.Â
