The Grace Yacht is an elegant, beautiful ship that has been superbly updated to modern standards. The rooms and public spaces are very comfortable, and the hot tub is great after a snorkel trip. The crew was excellent - everyone was friendly and professional, and made every effort to keep us comfortable.

Friendly, responsive crew and knowledgeable, enthusiastic guides (Walter and Monica). The Grace is well-appointed and comfortable. Food was great and they provided good gluten-free options. Two things that stood out: --Captain Israel was amazing. On the first night of our cruise, a passenger became very ill (unrelated to the ship's food or seasickness). The captain changed course to deliver this passenger back to port for a medical evacuation and then navigated all night to get us back on track with the cruise schedule; because of this, we did not miss any of the planned island excursions or activities. --Our cruise had 13 passengers of varied ages (ranging from early 30s to late 70s). We were a mix of people traveling solo, in sets of two, and a group of 4 traveling together. The alfresco dining area was set up with a table for 6 and two additional tables for 4. After the first few meals, the passengers expressed a desire to rearrange the dining set-up so that all passengers could sit together. Within a few hours, the dining area was re-arranged to accommodate this request. I really felt like the crew went beyond expectations in making this accommodation, as they didn't "have" to do this. Our experience was enhanced by their flexibility and willingness to respond to our request. Overall, my husband and I loved our experience on The Grace!

This is the one of the best trips I have done!!! Galápagos offers gorgeous places filled with beautiful animals. A must see! And the way to visit it is with Quasar, for sure. The Grace is elegant, with delicious food, the service is amazing, the cabins are super comfortable and remarkably clean, the guides are experts, and the staff is excellent, friendly, helpful, and with attention to detail. Everything was perfect!

Best experience of my life. The guides showed the Galapagos perfectly, and the crew made life so enjoyable and simple while on board. No other way to do the Galapagos.

I cannot say enough good things about the entire team on the Grace and Quasar as a whole. Even with small last minute changes the booking process was smooth and easy. The team on board deserves more than 5 stars. We joked the gentleman making up the room had ninja skills - every time you left and came back the room as even better than before. The birthday cake made out of towels was amazing. Honestly though he was just one peace of a team that worked extremely well together - Leo did a great job. Our Naturalist Guides, Gastavo and Daniel were personable and entertaining. (I do wish they were allowed to dine with the guest, they become part of the family). Speaking of the guests - traveling alone is always an adventure but you wouldn't have known I was on this trip. Everyone on the boat was amazing. They really do become your family for the week - and many of them beyond.

Loved the ship! It's ambiance and history are second to none. Great attentive staff and we felt the small size of the group increased the depth of our experience. The Naturalists on board were not only well informed, but made sure everyone got the most out of the trip. I can't imagine a better introduction to the magic of the Galapagos.
