An award-winning leader in sustainable travel through the Galapagos Islands, Ecoventura's fleet of expedition yachts bring travelers to more than a dozen exclusive parks for up-close experiences with marine iguana, sea lions, and famed Galapagos tortoises. Cruises depart every Sunday from San Cristobal on two unique 7-night itineraries.

MV Origin launched in February of this year on its inaugural 7-night itinerary through the Galapagos Islands. The new yacht was created without the typical trade-off between sleek design and eco-friendly elements, but instead combines the two without compromising either. In fact, extra steps were taken to ensure the yacht was designed as one of the most environmentally friendly vessels in the Galapagos, reducing fossil fuel consumption by over 30% from similar yachts in the archipelago. MV Origin offers 10 spacious staterooms with panoramic windows, a sundeck with BBQ, Jacuzzi and fitness center. It also offers families the opportunity to travel together with connecting cabins and even triples.

With rates starting at $4,300 per person for the week, this promotion offers significant savings - and this is truly a bucket list trip. You can visit https://www.ecoventura.com/galapagos-yachts/special-offers/ for more details.
