Looking for an alternative for a place to travel this winter? Take the vintage luxury yacht, M/Y Grace, to the Galapogos Islands.

Quasar Expeditions announced that the official launch of its much anticipated vintage luxury yacht, M/Y Grace, took place Saturday, July 4th, to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Galapagos National Park. Not since HMS Beagle sailed into the Galapagos Islands carrying young Charles Darwin in 1835 has a vessel of such historic significance entered the archipelago. Like the Beagle, M/Y Grace was built in Britain, and served in the Royal Navy. But you won’t find hardtack being served aboard Grace. The yacht is selling well despite hard economic times, indicating continued demand for high end value in 16 passenger yachts in the Galapagos National Park, which limits daily visitors by vessel to fewer than 2,000. – From Luxury Travel
