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.

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.


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.

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.

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.

Family-friendly cabins and prime summer departures are limited. Join our Virtual Galapagos Expedition to learn all about our Safari-Style Cruises™ designed for adventurous families, ask questions of a past Guest (and see her great photos!). Then, connect with us to secure your ideal dates.
