“My husband and I spent our honeymoon in Grace and exploredthe Galapagos and had the best time ever! The staff were so friendly, warm and exceeded our expectations. The food was amazing- chef Alejandro and the pastry chef (I forgot his name) made fantastic dishes that we truly enjoyed! We loved that snacks and refreshments were served after every excursion. Renan, our server/ bartender always had a smile on his face no matter how busy he was. He is a hardworking man, very pleasant to be around and extremely genuine. Ariana was also very pleasant, charming and very fun. The cabin boy Alex really did an amazing job cleaning/ tidying up our room and created fun towel animals we enjoyed. The panga drivers were awesome!! Truly, everyone from Grace were great. Our naturalists (Roberto and Gustavo) were amazing, they were so passionate and enthusiastic. Each time we saw something new, it felt like it was their first time seeing them too because of their excitement. Some suggestions we have: eliminate Italian night. Even though food was good and the tiramisu was exceptional, people can get Italian food anywhere in their own countries. Travelers want to experience more Latin/ Ecuadorian food. Another suggestion would be to add a little bit of music sometimes when we have downtime in the yacht, esp at dinner time, even a background music for entertainment. It gets too quiet sometimes. Last suggestion- to have an option for private table dining. Even though it’s great to socialize and meet people , sometimes you just want do dine with your significant other and don’t feel like entertaining people every single time. Thank you for such an amazing experience we won’t forget. We highly recommend Grace and hope to be back in the future…”

“It's impossible to write a short review. Our experience on The Grace was PHENOMENAL. That was mostly due to the incredible crew, the amazing OVER-abundance of high-end cuisine (three very full meals each day which you will need for fuel for the non-stop activities), and the expertise of Adventure Life and the "Following Darwin's Footsteps" itinerary. We also got very lucky with the weather (we went at the end of October/early November) and saw dolphins, whales, penguins, flamingos and all of the expected animal life that the Galapagos are famous for. It was so nice to have a captain who was willing to turn that yacht around to chase a pod of dolphins, or to help an ailing passenger. Fully bi-lingual guides with the best sense of humor were the icing on the cake (yay Monica and Walter!). While there might be cheaper ways to see the Galapagos, there are also more expensive ways, and we were so happy that we chose the Grace as it did not disappoint. I recommend the upper-level cabins which were super spacious with amazing views. We did the open-bar beer/wine package and felt it was the right choice for us. Take plenty of Immodium, Dramamine, ASP, whatever, because 50% of our passengers came down with some type of stomach ailment (typical for travelers, not due to the Grace). Overall, this was one of our best trips ever and we would go again for a different tour but would choose the Grace all over again. It was just perfection.”

“The Grace Yacht is an elegant, beautiful ship that has been superbly updated to modern standards. The rooms and public spaces are very comfortable, and the hot tub is great after a snorkel trip. The crew was excellent - everyone was friendly and professional, and made every effort to keep us comfortable.”

“Friendly, responsive crew and knowledgeable, enthusiastic guides (Walter and Monica). The Grace is well-appointed and comfortable. Food was great and they provided good gluten-free options. Two things that stood out: --Captain Israel was amazing. On the first night of our cruise, a passenger became very ill (unrelated to the ship's food or seasickness). The captain changed course to deliver this passenger back to port for a medical evacuation and then navigated all night to get us back on track with the cruise schedule; because of this, we did not miss any of the planned island excursions or activities. --Our cruise had 13 passengers of varied ages (ranging from early 30s to late 70s). We were a mix of people traveling solo, in sets of two, and a group of 4 traveling together. The alfresco dining area was set up with a table for 6 and two additional tables for 4. After the first few meals, the passengers expressed a desire to rearrange the dining set-up so that all passengers could sit together. Within a few hours, the dining area was re-arranged to accommodate this request. I really felt like the crew went beyond expectations in making this accommodation, as they didn't "have" to do this. Our experience was enhanced by their flexibility and willingness to respond to our request. Overall, my husband and I loved our experience on The Grace!”

“This is the one of the best trips I have done!!! Galápagos offers gorgeous places filled with beautiful animals. A must see! And the way to visit it is with Quasar, for sure. The Grace is elegant, with delicious food, the service is amazing, the cabins are super comfortable and remarkably clean, the guides are experts, and the staff is excellent, friendly, helpful, and with attention to detail. Everything was perfect!”
