Danubio Azul Description

Discover the wonders of the Galapagos Islands aboard Danubio Azul, a boutique 14-passenger cruise designed for intimate exploration. Despite its name (Spanish for Blue Danube), Danubio Azul is not a riverboat but a small tourist-class vessel perfect for diving and naturalist adventures. Spend eight thrilling days on our diving cruises, exploring the far northern islands of Wolf and Darwin with four full days dedicated to diving in pristine underwater environments. Alternatively, our 8-day Naturalist Cruise focuses on the central islands, showcasing this unique archipelago's diverse wildlife and landscapes. As one of the smallest vessels navigating the Galapagos, Danubio Azul is ideal for economical private charters, accommodating groups of up to 14 people. Experience personalized service and exclusive itineraries tailored to your group's interests for an unforgettable Galapagos adventure.
