Calipso
Overview
Calipso is a small first-class expedition yacht offering a comfortable, well-appointed base for exploring the Galápagos at an intimate scale. With just 16 guests, the onboard atmosphere is friendly and personal, pairing a relaxed rhythm with the practical comfort that makes early starts, active days, and downtime between landings feel easy.
Calipso runs dedicated departures that are either naturalist-led or dive-focused depending on the sailing. As with all Galápagos programs, routing and schedules vary by itinerary and park allocations, so we confirm fit based on cabin preferences, onboard style, and the specific departure focus.
