The Galápagos Islands are home to some of the world's most fascinating animal life. When you embark on an Avalon Waterways small ship cruise you'll encounter giant tortoises, penguins, sea lions, lizards, and a whole host of diverse bird species. Your vacation starts in Quito, Ecuador. From there you’ll fly to Baltra Island, then board your luxury yacht and cruise from island to island, discovering the wildlife that inspired Charles Darwin. Your Galapagos cruise tour with Avalon will provide memories to last a lifetime.

Embark on a journey to one of the world’s vastly unexplored regions, the mighty Amazon. Experience the Amazon wilderness where it originates in Peru. The Amazon Basin covers an area larger than Western Europe, but it’s in Peru’s Amazon where biodiversity is at its greatest and the rainforest is untamed. Imagine venturing deep into the Amazon jungle in search of elusive wildlife, taking a swim with pink dolphins, and visiting native communities, all while returning to an air-conditioned suite, hot shower, and an over-sized plush bed.
