Galapagos advice?
 
The wife is considering a 7-day cruise to Galapagos with Hurtigruten Expeditions on a 90-person boat that visits Santa Cruz, Floreana, Isabela and Fernandina as well as a tour of Quito. She would like to know the following: Any reviews of Hurtigruten? Am I missing any must-see islands? How do people feel about this large boat? Any other advice? Thank you!

Personally I would rather go on a 16 person small yacht and depending on what interests you, those islands may not be the best choice. (All tours include stops on the main island of Santa Cruz).

The islands I visited were North Seymour, Bartolome, Genovesa, Santiago, Rabida and Espanola, in addition to Santa Cruz. (Itinerary A) here

Thanks, mlgb. She is a bit concerned about seasickness on the smaller boat, do you think that is more of an issue than on the larger ones?

Quite possible. There was one long stretch that caused issues for most on board.
