Departure port

Quito

This is where the ship leaves from. It is not the holiday itself.

Getting there

Most travellers connect in Europe or the Americas. Quito is the starting point for flights to the Galápagos, and its high altitude means it is worth taking things slowly on arrival.

Before you sail
