“Our 15-day Galápagos cruise aboard the Grace Yacht (Nov 18–Dec 2) was a truly special experience. The yacht is elegant, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. Originally built in 1928 with a rich and fascinating history. The cabins are spacious, and the common areas are inviting. They felt like a calm sanctuary after full days of exploration. What really sets the Grace apart is the crew and naturalist guides. Their patience, passion, and generosity with their time and knowledge added real depth to every landing, snorkel, and panga ride. Rather than simply observing the Galápagos, we felt we were continually learning about it in a meaningful and engaging way. The itinerary offered an impressive range of islands, landscapes, and wildlife. While some days were naturally full, the overall experience felt rich, well-paced, and thoughtfully designed. Snorkelling was a highlight throughout the trip, beautifully organized and well supported, with unforgettable moments such as sea lions choosing to play with us in the water. One truly awe-inspiring moment came on November 28th, when we were escorted by the largest pod of dolphins I have ever seen (estimates for their number was over 300). They played in the bow wave and breached close to the boat, an extraordinary and deeply moving experience. Meals were consistently excellent: fresh, beautifully prepared, and thoughtfully varied, with dietary needs handled seamlessly. Throughout the journey, the crew’s warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail created an atmosphere of ease and genuine care. This was not our first visit to the Galápagos, but it was our first time aboard the Grace Yacht, and it stood out as a particularly rewarding way to experience the islands. I would happily recommend it to anyone considering a high-quality Galápagos cruise.”

Dear Helen, Your review brings the spirit of your magical 15 days aboard the Quasar Grace to life. It’s great to hear how the yacht’s history, the care of our Crew and Naturalist Guides, and those safari-style moments in the wild shaped such a meaningful return to the Galapagos. That sweeping pod of dolphins sounds like a gift from the ocean itself, and we’re grateful you experienced it with us. We would be delighted to welcome you back whenever the islands call again.

“Our recent venture on the Yacht, Grace was beyond any expectations that I had. The ship is spectacular in Style and performance. The crew was fantastic, accommodating and super nice with safety being high on their list. The food was beyond compare. Breakfast lunch and dinner were always looked forward to, to see what the Chef (Marco) was going to come up with. Always good and always fresh and tasty. Fine dining at its best! The naturalists were so good. They really know their craft and gave us great! Adventures be it Snorkeling, Panga Rides or hikes. They were knowledgeable in bird, marine life, land animals and vegetation. We were able to see everything that we wanted, Boobys, Sea Lions, Marine and land Iguana’s, Rays, Sharks, Pelicans and Sea Turtles and Giant Tortoise’s. Their passion for their profession and their home was inspiring. If you are considering a Galapagos cruise, Grace should be considered highly in my opinion for all the above as well as the comfort and elegance that only she can offer. Thanks! To the Captain and crew for our great adventure.”

“Didn’t know what to expect as I am not a nature person. I enjoy golfing and this trip was something that I thought I would do but WOW!! What an adventure and the people that ran the Grace was 100% professional and cared about providing top notch service. From the Captain to the support staff I can’t emphasize how great they were!!!”

Dear Earl, We loved hearing how someone who usually trades in fairways found a whole new kind of thrill aboard the Quasar Grace! That’s exactly what our yacht safaris are designed for: creating space for Guests to fall in love with the wild at their own pace while being looked after by a Crew that treats every detail like it matters. Your kind words about their professionalism and heart mean the world to our team. Whenever you’re ready for another journey shaped by nature’s rhythm, we’ll be right here to welcome you back.

“First of all, "Thank You So Much Diane" for your, "AMAZING SERVICE". You were available to answer all of my questions regardless of what they were. I realized many of the answers were actually in the detailed documents you provided (yes, reading is fundamental :)), however, you so pleasantly and quickly responded to my questions and every request for an actual telephone conversation. I do not have enough adjectives to describe MY AMAZING GALAPAGOS TRIP ON THE GRACE! However, here are a few adjectives; AMAZING AWESOME BREATHTAKING EXHILERATING FABULOUS FANTASTIC MAGICAL MAGNIFICENT STUNNING WONDERFUL WONDROUS EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME BEST VACATION OF MY LIFE MAGICAL DAILY SENSORY OVERLOAD Every day we had an amazing experience and each day was better than the previous day. The activities were wonderful, the naturalists were knowledgeable, personable, caring and fun. And, I can't say enough about the crew. Wow! Everyone was committed to ensuring that we had a wonderful time; and we did! My husband is really not a traveler. For over 40 years I have traveled with friends and family without my husband. He decided to go on this trip only because it was a milestone birthday gift and he had very low expectations. In fact, he started packing for the trip only 4 days before the trip whereas with his golf trips he begins packing weeks in advance. My husband was in awe after two days on our Galápagos adventure and his travel posture changed in that short period of time. He started talking about future trips which he would never had done. So, thank you Quasar for that; I think! I would certainly recommend Quasar for a Galapagos adventure and I am going to look into the Machu Picchu itinerary for next year. By the way, my family feels the same. THANKS, SO MUCH DIANE, GRACE CREW AND NATURALISTS! Voyage 10/21/25-10/28/25 MYJL ”
