Since 1934, when daring visitors set sail on the Stella Polaris across the islands, the Galapagos have steadily grown in recognition. The Galapagos became a province of Ecuador in 1973 as the popularity of this exotic location and the facilities provided to tourists rose. These lovely islands were subsequently declared a Biosphere Reserve in 1985 and a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979.
With 107 rocks and islets, nine smaller islands, thirteen major islands, and a total area of 8,010 square kilometers (3,093 m2), this wonderland is currently visited by more than 150,000 people annually. With growing visitor interest, cruise tourism in the Galapagos has developed, moving from basic sailboats to the opulent ships of today.
The Galaxy Sirius: A Revolutionary Luxury Vision
The Galaxy Sirius, the newest luxurious expedition ship from Galagents Galapagos Cruises, is a spectacular example of this progression. The Sirius, now under construction and scheduled to open in March 2024, has been painstakingly planned to provide visitors with an unmatched Galapagos experience without sacrificing comfort or service quality.
The Galaxy Sirius will have nine staterooms that can accommodate 16 guests, eight of which will have private balconies and one of which will have a shared balcony with the captain’s bridge. The roomy cabins will be between 22 and roughly 26 square meters (237 – 280 ft2). Guests will get individualized treatment from a cruise director and two licensed naturalist guides, who will help make every minute on board extraordinary.
Get on the Galaxy Sirius and Do the Unthinkable
Al fresco eating will be available on the top deck of the Sirius, as well as climate-controlled internal living and dining facilities with panoramic windows. The sun deck’s jacuzzi allows visitors to unwind as they enjoy unique drinks or a range of domestic and foreign wines and spirits.
A gourmet Ecuadorian cuisine showcasing the four distinct areas of the country’s rich cultural characteristics will further enhance the culinary experience and enhance the whole adventure. Vegetarian, vegan, and pescetarian food options will also be offered upon request without additional charge.
In addition, The Galaxy Sirius invites visitors to fully enjoy their surroundings by participating in activities like kayaking, snorkeling, hiking, and paddleboarding, all while being closely watched and guided by our onboard crew and naturalist advisors.
Sustainability Is a Priority
The Galaxy Sirius is committed to reducing its environmental footprint. Thus, the building materials and energy conservation are in mind as part of Galagents Galapagos Cruises’ dedication to sustainability. The ship will also adhere to strict recycling and waste management procedures to ensure every voyage is as eco-friendly as possible.
Quality, fair pricing, and guaranteed departure are all part of The Galaxy Sirius’ Value Proposition.
The Galaxy Sirius stands out because it is committed to providing a premium cruise experience that is distinguished by individualized attention to detail and affordable price, all without going overboard or exaggerating the value of its services. Luxury Boutique Catamaran Sirius also ensures a departure from each reservation of just one person, guaranteeing that each visitor will get personalized service.
Following a thorough technical and operational examination, Galagents Galapagos Cruises promises that the Galaxy Sirius will begin operations in March 2024. The company is pleased with its track record of fulfilling launch schedules. The Galaxy Diver I, the company’s first liveaboard diving trip, and the Galaxy Daily, a day tour vessel, both launched on schedule in November 2022 and March 2023, respectively, demonstrating the company’s track record of successfully delivering on its promises.
The Galaxy Sirius offers a distinctive fusion of exclusivity, customization, and luxury with the goal of enhancing the Galapagos cruise tourist experience. Two licensed naturalist advisors will accompany guests on their 5- or 6-day adventures across the archipelago, a service rare on small, luxurious boats with comparable capacity.
