@hake-tfc. Have you booked anything? Would be interested to know what your research has found. Are you aware the entry fee to the Galapagos has recently doubled to $200?

We have just used a 241 to book flights for later this year with IB from Madrid to Panama and then plan to go via Colombia to Ecuador and the Galapagos. My cousin has just returned from a Hurtigruten tour on Santa Cruz II and it sounds amazing. She seemed to get a better deal from Australia than we get here in UK!

Have been doing a lot of research and will probably do land and cruise. But there is so much choice, I don’t really know where to start. The flights are very expensive. Have you found a suitable package? A lot of the ships I’ve looked at are much smaller than the Santa Cruz II. I’ve just come back from Tromso and was a bit disappointed with Hurtigruten.

Thanks for any info you have.
