Hurtigruten Expeditions is now offering three new Galapagos itineraries, and to celebrate, the company is offering limited two-for-one and 50% off solo sailings on nearly all departures from MAR 2023 through the end of the year on new bookings made by 15FEB.
In addition, as part of their ongoing commitment to conserving nature, Hurtigruten Expeditions will donate $100,000 of its sales from these new routes to local charity partners.
Home to more than 9,000 species of wildlife, the Galapagos is one of the most extraordinary destinations on this planet. Guests can spot orcas and flamingos, dance with Blue-footed Boobies, lumber alongside giant tortoises, and embrace true adventure on this volcanic archipelago, the world’s masterpiece of evolution. The new Western Loop, Northern Loop, and combined 11-day itinerary join Hurtigruten Expeditions’ original Eastern Loop, the company’s first-ever Galapagos itinerary which launched last year.
With a focus on sustainability, Hurtigruten Expeditions will ensure that proceeds of up to $100,000 of bookings from these trips support conservation efforts of three local charity partners: the Charles Darwin Foundation, Galapagos Conservancy and Fundación de Conservación Jocotoco. All beneficiaries of the Hurtigruten Foundation, the three organizations are committed to conserving and rewilding threatened species in the Galápagos Islands as well as protecting the archipelago’s unique flora and fauna. Together, the groups protect the Galápagos tortoise, whale sharks, Galápagos penguins, pink iguanas, sea lions, and hundreds of species of birds, as well as endemic fauna and flora.
With the new circuits, Hurtigruten Expeditions now offers four year-round itineraries, creating 78 opportunities a year for travelers to experience the remote archipelago. With a threefold increase of sailings compared to 2022 -- and departures that range from seven to 11 days -- the company is making it even easier for travelers to find a trip that works with their schedule. Those looking for a longer adventure can extend their trip with a stay in the Ecuadorian cloud forest or the Amazonian rainforest.
With a maximum capacity of 90 guests, Hurtigruten Expeditions’ upgraded MS Santa Cruz II takes travelers on an immersive, intimate journey to explore a destination like no other. Accompanied by an Expedition Team of experts that serve as hosts on every journey, guests will find a wide range of activities both ashore and on board while learning about the incomparable natural wonders through informative and engaging lectures.
