M/Y Reina Silvia, one of the finest vessels of her size in the Galapagos, permits you to discover the Enchanted Islands in relaxed comfort.
Since Charles Darwin’s visit in 1835 and his monumental “Origin Of Species” published 24 years later, Galapagos has excited man’s imagination. On this isolated group of islands, the flora and fauna, adapting to diverse conditions, evolved into species found nowhere else in the world. Their uniqueness, and especially the variations from island to island, can be clearly witnessed, making Darwin’s Theory obvious even to the amateur.
