Calipso - GALAPAGOS CONNOISSEUR

First-Class Diving/Naturalist Cruise in the Galapagos

The Calipso is the perfect choice for a First-class Galapagos cruise. It provides the best of both worlds – diving and naturalist itineraries available.

The Calipso was built back in the 1990s but was reimagined and refurbished to become a Diving/Naturalist cruise ship in the Galapagos Islands. It alters between diving itineraries and naturalist itineraries. During the naturalist itinerary, you have a choice of 4, 5, and 8-day itineraries.

The Calipso boasts a spacious lounge, dining area, fantastic new dive deck, sundeck with a Jacuzzi, and 10 comfortable cabins to accommodate up to 16 passengers.

Regarding diving, the Calipso offers a week-long itinerary that takes you to the best diving sites including; Darwin and Wolf islands – the most sought after islands for diving in the Galapagos Islands.

CONNOISSEUR TIP:

If you are considering a diving cruise to the Galapagos Islands I would definitely recommend the Calypso yacht. It´s operated by a very professional company and will provide everything you need for a magnificent diving experience. Furthermore, if you are considering visiting the Galapagos Islands but do not fancy diving, you can consider a Naturalist itinerary aboard the Calypso. You can choose between 4,5, and 8-day itineraries with a bilingual naturalist guide and awesome visits. Moreover, if you don’t have too much time to spend in the Galapagos I would recommend the 5-day Naturalist itinerary of the Calipso which visits the most sought after islands in the Galapagos Islands – Isabela and Fernandina.

You are in for a treat aboard the Calipso yacht!
