Enjoy a Relais and Chateaux experience at sea when you board Theory to sail the seas around the awe-inspiring Galápagos. This is the gold standard of accommodation and indeed service for these waters. Discover the wonderful world of this archipelago in expert hands as there are two naturalists on board (looking after no more than 10 guests each) who can explain both the area’s history as well as its abundant and unique wildlife.
Named after Charles Darwin’s Theory of Evolution, the vessel’s commitment to the environment is front and foremost in every expedition. Solar panels provide power, plastic use is constantly evaluated, and carbon emissions are offset. This helps ensure the pristine status of the islands.
The stateroom accommodation is furnished to a high standard with all amenities and there are some interconnecting cabins which are ideal for families travelling together.
Eating on board is an experience all on its own. Every evening, a four-course dinner of Ecuadorian and international fare is served so be sure to save some space after your afternoon tea of pastries and snacks. Sit back and relax after dinner in the open bar and lounge for cocktails and a wide array of drinks, discussing everything you’ve seen with fellow travellers.
There’s even a boutique, fitness centre and library so however you want to unwind when you are not on land, Theory has a multitude of options.
