ALEXANDRIA, Va., March 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Cruise Holidays of Alexandria, Luxury Cruise Counselors (LCC) (www.yourcruisesource.com), one of the nation's premier luxury cruise specialists, announces plans to host a 14-night cruise tour to the Galapagos Islands, Machu Picchu, and the Sacred Valley of Peru June 5-19, 2014.  The cruise tour begins with included flights from select cities in the United States to Quito, Ecuador for a 2-night stay at the Hotel Sebastian and an included full-day tour of the Antisana Reserve.  Among other places, the tour includes a visit to the Antisana volcano, sanctuary to the wild Andean condor and other birds; a hike to the glacier of Antisana; and a drive to the Micacocha Lake.

On June 7th, guests will fly from Quito to Baltra, Galapagos to board the Silver Galapagos of Silversea Cruises.  The Silver Galapagos caters to a maximum of just 100 guests, and is one of the few true luxury cruise ships sailing the Galapagos Islands.  Onboard, guests will enjoy spacious all-suite accommodations with ocean views or verandas, included gratuities, included wine, spirits, soft drinks, and bottled water, included select shore excursions, and a water sports platform off the back of the ship.  Sailing round-trip from Baltra, Galapagos, the 7-night cruise visits 13 ports of call.  Highlights of the Galapagos cruise include a visit to "Bird Island" with its more than 70 bird species; a walk across lava fields to look for lava lizards; the opportunity to witness wildlife found nowhere else on earth, including giant 550 pound tortoises, the red and blue footed boobies, and colorful marine iguanas; and cruises by Zodiac along the spectacular scenic coastlines of the Galapagos. 

After disembarking in Baltra on June 14th, guests will fly to Lima, Peru for a 5-night tour of the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu.  The exclusive tour includes a professional English-speaking guide, five nights in 3 and 4 star hotels, tours of the Incan Empire of Cusco, the Sacred Valley of the Incas, a spectacular scenic train ride to the town of Aguas Calientes, a full day tour of the mysterious Machu Picchu (what many consider to be the most beautiful on earth).
