Seeing the Galapagos Through a Family's Eyes: Featuring Quasar Guest Maddie Castellano
This summer, experience the Galapagos the way families do with Quasar. Maddie Castellano, a family travel influencer, recently explored the islands with her children aboard the newly renovated Quasar Evolution, sharing moments of discovery through up-close wildlife encounters, hands-on learning, and welcome comforts aboard our yachts.

Snorkel with sea lions, spot playful penguins, and observe giant tortoises in their natural habitat, guided by expert Naturalists.
Hands-On Adventures for Young Explorers
Explore ancient lava fields with family-friendly Guides who bring science and storytelling to life, without crowds.

Thoughtfully designed itineraries and seamless planning make Galapagos effortless and enriching for the whole family.
Quasar’s Safari-Style Family Cruises: The Journey of a Lifetime
Family-Forward Galapagos Adventure
From first hello to final sunset, a Quasar Safari-Style Cruise™ feels effortless. Expert itinerary design, thoughtful inclusions (from national park access and WiFi to an open bar for the grown-ups), and a crew that anticipates your family’s needs.
The Quasar Difference
Our small-group, safari-style yachts, like the completely renovated Quasar Evolution, welcome just 16–32 guests, so your family has room to spread out and a front-row seat to wildlife. After her multi-million-dollar overhaul, Evolution boasts expansive decks, elegant staterooms, and dining that delights every palate (yes, even picky eaters). It’s the sweet spot: crowd-free exploration with the comforts that keep everyone smiling.
Another Day, Another "I-Can't-Believe-It" Moment
Kids become fast friends with our expert Naturalist Guides, who turn curiosity into hands-on discovery. Picture them snorkeling beside playful sea lions, giggling at blue-footed boobies' dance moves, or kayaking where tropical penguins pop up to say hello. In the Galapagos, learning feels like pure adventure.
