Hi I'm relatively new to SB (six months) and I have a question about Galapagos ships that I haven't seen an answer to in recent SB posts.
My wife and I want to take our daughter (she's 30ish) and her two daughters (6 and 12) to the Galapagos next April, during the girls' spring break week. We took our this same daughter there over eight years ago, on a small-group natural history cruise. Since then, both my daughter and I have learned to dive and the little girls have honed their shipboard smarts on two sailing trips.
I'm looking for a one-week Galapagos cruise on a boat that's family-oriented rather than a dedicated diver liveaboard. But I'm hoping to find a ship that's just large enough (sixty passengers, maybe?) to also include a small dive setup (divemaster, tanks, compressor) in addition to the usual nature hikes and snorkeling.
If any SB members have seen or heard of some such and would mention them here I'd be grateful.
-Bryan
