The Galapagos Islands are on many nature lovers' bucket lists, and travelers have several small ship cruise options for sailing the islands. One of these small adventure cruise lines is Quasar Expeditions, which has three small ships sailing in the Galapagos Islands. One is a 16-passenger sailing vessel - the Alta. The other two are motorized ships - the Evolution (32 passengers) and M/Y Grace (18 passengers). The M/V Grace was originally owned by Princess Grace and Prince Ranier of Monaco and was first used on their honeymoon.

Since Quasar's ships are very small, passengers have more opportunities to visit quiet coves and interact with the diverse wildlife of the Galapagos Islands.
