“We had a wonderful time on the Grace. The crew, the guides, the food, and the activities were all excellent. We had lots of fun while learning a lot about the islands. Since the ship is small, I'd recommend bringing seasick medication just in case. It was definitely appreciated on our trip!”

“The Grace was an unparalleled experience, touring the Galapagos Islands on this boat was a pleasure, it is full of comforts and details that make it a perfect vehicle for this trip. In addition to that, the ship itself is a record of an extraordinary story, it is truly admirable how it has been restored and continues to sail to this day, going through it and learning about its different historical episodes is an extra in this adventure. The crew accommodated our every need and was excellent at every turn. Definitely, the decision to travel on the Grace was the best we could have made.”

“Gustavo and Walter, where are guides and they were absolutely wonderful. Very knowledgeable about everything in Galápagos and were very inclusive and warm and welcoming and making sure we were all included in the activities. The food was absolutely fantastic and the entire boat crew was beyond incredible. I have never been more taken care of and spoiled in my life. Thank you so very much for an incredibly special trip.

“There were 14 guests on Grace for our trip. The perfect size. We became fast friends and enjoyed our time together on excursions, in the lounge, the hot tub, and dining room. Rooms were cozy but very comfortable. The room was cleaned more than once per day. The shower had plenty of hot water when needed after snorkeling in chilly water. The food was excellent. I can't praise the naturalists and crew enough. They were knowledgeable, friendly, kind, and fun. Having read reviews from previous travelers, I had high expectations...and they were exceeded.”

“The Grace is everything we expected and more! With 2 great naturalists on board, we got the very best out of our experience. Having a hot tub to sit in after snorkelling and enjoy a drink fab! The food was excellent and the attention to detail by the crew was second to none. 11 crew, 2 naturalists and only 14 guests is a recipe for success. Only suggestion would be internet access, 1 hour per day built into the cost, rather than 1/2 hour per guest over 7 days. Rash vests a must for Snorkelling. The on board shop carried insufficient stock Re: Vests. hats, Sweatshirts etc. A trick missed here! Highly Recommend.”

Hello Lucia, We are delighted to hear that that you found the Grace to be more than expected. Just to clarify, in addition to the free internet package that all guests receive for their week onboard, Quasar also offers additional internet packages on its yachts for purchase. Before we installed satellite wi-fi service aboard our yachts, many guests asked us not to install it as they loved taking time away from screens, email and social media, to focus more on their experience and for getting to know the other guests. At Quasar we highly encourage guests to enjoy their once in a lifetime adventure in the Galapagos and only use the internet as needed. That said, we do understand that some guests truly must have internet access throughout their cruise and we do provide wi-fi packages that offer as many hours of connectivity as needed. Regarding the shop, yours was one of the first departures following the Grace's recent return from a major dry dock and not all the shop supplies arrived on time to the islands to stocking the shop properly. We apologize for the inconvenience and this is being rectified so guests can purchase all sorts of souvenirs onboard. Thank you again for traveling with Quasar. Sincerely, ~ The Quasar Customer Service Team
