per guest, double occupancy
Forty-one bird species are recorded across the 15 islands our ships call at, and 17 of them live nowhere else on earth.
Where you go matters more than when. Most species are here the whole year round, but almost half are recorded at a single island: the waved albatross only on Española, the flightless cormorant only in the west. The map below shows which island holds what.
