We decided to book the Xploration for the May 31, 2025 sailing, although we would have preferred 2026 (Flora, while awesome I'm sure, just too expensive for we Canadians, considering other future travel already booked). We have been to mainland Ecuador 10 years ago, so are spending a few days in Galapagos prior to the sailing. Thank you for the previous posts, and any further posts, about the Galapagos, either sailing or on land. Exciting trip!
