YouTube Video Description↓

On a recent National Geographic/Lindblad Expedition, I traveled to Peru and Ecuador. Our main destinations were Machu Picchu in Peru and the Galapagos Islands in Ecuador. We boarded the Islander II ship in Guayaquil, Ecuador and traversed to the various islands for several days. This video will give you an idea of the ship's overall design, layout and public spaces.
