Feel the enchantment of the Galápagos Islands aboard the M/Y Grace, a heritage luxury motor yacht that combines historical glamour with modern comfort. With just 16 guests on board, Grace delivers an intimate and refined journey through Ecuador’s most pristine archipelago — perfect for travelers seeking both discovery and indulgence.
Originally built in the 1920s by the legendary Camper & Nicholsons shipyard in England, Grace has been lovingly restored to preserve her storied past. Once part of the British war fleet during WWII and later famously owned by Prince Rainier and Princess Grace of Monaco, she carries with her tales of elegance, royalty, and adventure.
Luxury & Comfort on Board
Every detail on the Grace is designed for upscale comfort. There are nine beautiful staterooms, including the show-piece Grace Kelly Suite, master suites, twin and premium staterooms. Each room features private bathrooms, air conditioning, premium furnishings, and thoughtful amenities.
Common areas are just as elegant: a spacious salon with lounge/bar for downtime and educational briefings; outdoor dining areas for meals under the stars; a sundeck (with jacuzzi) to relax, take in sweeping ocean views, and watch sunrise or sunset; and social areas perfect for mingling or solitary reflection.
Authentic Galápagos Experiences
Cruises aboard Grace immerse you in wildlife, natural beauty, and untouched landscapes. With expert bilingual naturalist guides, every island stop and activity is carefully timed to showcase endemic species, unique ecosystems, snorkeling reefs, lava fields, volcanic landscapes, mangroves, and remote coves. Itineraries such as “Following Darwin’s Trail” or “Beyond Darwin’s Footsteps” let you explore both the popular and undiscovered corners of the archipelago.
Small-group sizes ensure that each outing—hikes, zodiac rides, underwater swims—is personal and rich with wildlife viewing opportunities. With 2 naturalist guides on board and only small numbers per group, your experiences are unhurried and deep.
Safety & Expert Guidance
Grace meets international safety standards, including ISM certification, SOLAS-approved safety and emergency equipment, and well-trained crew and guides.
