We had an incredible trip to the Galapagos on Quasar's MV Evolution. We received great service during all the pre-trip questions which helped me select the Evolution over other boat options that we considered. During the trip service was great from the guides and all the crew. The guides really added to the trip experience and we particularly loved going with Boli. We had an exceptional group of fellow travelers that added to the experience. Spending time with them in between excursions up in the bar lounge area filled the trip with many memories. Although the boat holds 32 passengers, it was not filled this trip with only 18 people. We enjoyed the extra room but really there was enough space for 32 passengers. Overall the ship felt very roomy.

The boat had recently undergone some renovations which were nice. All the common furniture looked very nice and were comfortable. They were putting on some finishing touches on the trip staining some areas up on the deck and rails.

Everything went like clock work. Next days schedules were discussed in the nightly lectures and briefings and posted throughout the ship. We are early risers but they did play a morning wake up call music promptly per schedule. The day started with a hearty breakfast with a choice of eggs, omelets, various meat options, breads options, cheese plate, yogurt, granola, various fruits and hot drinks. After breakfast we would do our first landing of the day. Our boat was frequently the only one at the landing site and it was nice that they split the group into two with one going one direction and the other direction. It made the experience feel like you were with a really small group. Read more
