    Galapagos Aboard the M/Y Grace

    Cruise the islands on an historic ship offering luxury service and appointments

    M/Y Grace has journeyed the waters of this world under many names. Camper & Nicholson in Southampton, England built her during the Great Gatsby era in 1928.  After serving as the personal yacht for high-powered industrialists, including Sir George Tilley, chairman of the Prudential Insurance Co., she was conscripted to serve in the British Royal Navy during WWII.  During the war she played an important role at Dunkirk, captured a German torpedo E-boat, and even has an unconfirmed sinking of a U-boat to her credit. In 1951 she was acquired by a company owned by Aristotle Onassis who renamed her Arion, and was later given as a wedding gift from Aristotle himself to Prince Rainier and Princess Grace of Monaco. She is now rechristened with a name that recalls one of the best times in her history while representing her elegance, beauty, and prestige.
    The five star service onboard this ship, coupled with the true feeling of a safari experience, is unlike anything that is currently offered in Galapagos.
    The M/Y Grace has begun a new era in her rich history, and her best days are yet to come as an icon in the Galapagos Islands.
