Theory and its twin vessel, Origin, are among the most luxurious options for naturalist cruising in the Galapagos. These identical vessels boast spacious and thoughtfully decorated interiors and an all-inclusive service with fine dining and drinks, concierge and an international team, a nearly 1:1 crew to guest ratio, and trained naturalists leading each land and sea-based activities adventure. If deep relaxation is a top priority, you'll love this vessel's indulgent details, including internet, a spacious sun deck, and open-air Jacuzzi.

This liveaboard's exciting itineraries let guests choose from a southern and central, or northern and west Galapagos route. Both options include eight days at sea, with stops at all the hotspots famous for breathtaking scenery and exciting wildlife, including marine iguanas, penguins, seals and sea lions, land tortoises, and a wide variety of birds. For the ultimate Galapagos adventure, the two trips can be combined for an epic 16-day expedition. Special itineraries just for families with children are also available, catering to young travellers with daily guided activities and opportunities for them to make new friends at sea.

Land adventures

Theory is ideally equipped for adventure, with two custom zodiacs for ocean-based coastal touring and trips ashore. During every day of your cruise, you'll have the chance to join as few or as many naturalist activities as you'd like - all led by regional experts. Excursions include snorkelling with sea lions, penguins, and marine iguanas, kayak and paddleboard tours through mangrove channels, and hikes that traverse smouldering calderas, lava flows, and secluded jungle paths.
