With up to 35 per cent off family cruise departures in March and April it's the perfect time to experience these Equadorian islands, famed for the vast number of species not found anywhere else on earth.

On Chimu's four, five and eight-day itineraries, guests will cruise the wildlife-packed islands on one of two luxury first-class catamarans, the Seaman Journey and the Seastar Journey, which have been specifically designed for cruising the Galapagos.
The lead-in Seaman Journey four-day cruise now costs from $2450 per person (usually $3500 a head) while the eight-day expedition has been reduced to $5299 per person (reduced from $7570).

Even bigger savings are available on the six day Seastar Journey cruise, where the price has been reduced from $7500 per person to $4875, representing saving of $10,500 for a family of four.

It's the greatest gift any parent could give their family.

Through a blend of land and sea excursions, passengers will see legendary blue-footed boobies, colourful marine iguanas, sea lions, fur seals, tiny penguins and the giant tortoises that gave the Pacific islands their name.

“I liked it because you can see finches and boobies and also go in the ocean and see stingrays and sharks if you are lucky,” said Sydney six year-old, Lachlan Hall, after cruising the Galapagos with brother Max, 9.

Chimu Marketing Manager and mother of Max and Lachlan, Meg Hall, said the trip gave her children the best classroom they'd ever been in.

“It's a destination we all enjoyed for the geography, wildlife and adventure. The Galapagos is an educational experience which our family will never forget."
