Princess Grace Kelly's Honeymoon Yacht Just Got a Stunning Renovation — Here's How to Get on Board

The yacht sails the Gálapagos Islands as part of the Quasar Expeditions fleet.

If you've ever dreamed of sailing in Princess Grace Kelly's former honeymoon yacht — in the Gálapagos , no less — that dream could very well come true. 

The elegant yacht was gifted to Grace Kelly by Aristotle Onassis for her wedding to Prince Rainier III in 1956. Nearly 70 years later, the vessel is now named the M/V Grace , and it belongs to Travel + Leisure World's Best Award -winner Quasar Expeditions' two-vessel fleet. The boutique expedition company, named the best intimate-ship ocean cruise line in 2022, just completed a significant renovation on the yacht.

On the passenger side of the M/V Grace , Chilean design firm Enrique Concha & Co completely updated the eight cabins (which house a maximum of 16 passengers) and the bar. They also added a new coffee lounge, and throughout the ship, the design is now thoroughly modern, but warm. The vessel's earthy wood paneling and flooring add an organic touch, accented by design details like raw wood coffee tables in the lounge and rattan baskets in the en-suite baths. Enrique Concha & Co also expanded the outdoor deck space, providing additional space for guests to enjoy the sun and the views of the volcanic Gálapagos Islands.

But the renovation also included upgrades to the engines, generators, and propellers that allow the yacht to operate more efficiently — they speed the ship up to a maximum of 15 knots, providing the yacht with a greater range during its voyages, while also reducing fuel consumption overall. Stabilizers were also added to the yacht for an even more comfortable onboard experience, while the kitchen was also updated to elevate the ship's culinary offerings.

M/V Grace operates exclusively in the Gálapagos, sailing two eight-day itineraries, one eastern and one western, and one 15-day itinerary that combines both shorter voyages. Rates for the eight-day voyages start at $8,500 per person, and you can make your bookings at quasarex.com .

Wat een waanzinnig leuke ervaring hebben wij gehad op de Grace Kelly. Alles was top geregeld. Dank Chantal, Jan en Eric voor deze onvergetelijke avond!

Jelle de Beer

Persoonlijk vond ik het geweldig en vooral de catering en Sjoerd. Wat een gouden vent!! Maar ook de rest van het personeel, heeft volgens mij heel hard gewerkt.

Ireen Rientjes

Het is een erg geslaagd feest geweest. Sjoerd was altijd aanwezig met de helicopterview of om gerechten uit te serveren, DJ speelde in op de wensen van de gasten. Ik heb veel positieve reacties gekregen op het food concept. Bijzondere gerechtjes en erg smaakvol. Complimenten! Het doel van de Omdenkshow is ook bereikt. Ik hoop dat we met deze ervaring in onze broekzak volgende probleemsituaties anders kunnen benaderen.

Michiel van der Sleen

We hebben een fantastische dag gehad, Sjoerd heeft ons helemaal verwend, echt top. Het entertainment was ook erg leuk, dus al met al een zeer geslaagde dag.

Kelly Huntjens

Bedankt voor de goeie communicatie de afgelopen tijd. We vonden het erg leuk, het eten was super en er was genoeg! Tot nu toe hoor ik nog alleen maar positieve reacties.

Mike Klerkx

Adembenemend is de Blue Rhapsody . Vooral de kleur en de entourage vinden wij het mooist; de boot komt in de Biesbosch geweldig tot zijn recht. Het is een aanwinst voor de Nederlandse locaties en kan overal in Nederland worden neergelegd om tot 600 mensen te hosten. Dit jaar vormt Blue Rhapsody het decor van ons kerstevenement. Waarom Blue Rhapsody ? Het schip is uniek, nieuw en straalt een stukje klasse uit. Dit miste nog een beetje in Nederland.

Giselle Goossens

Blue Rhapsody; ook voor artiesten een fantastisch podium. Perfect voor interactief entertainment, met een fijne sfeer.

Sos Petrosyan

Het is een eer te mogen varen op de Blue Rhapsody. Het team is één grote familie en erg fijn om mee samen te werken

Het schip is groot! Als je iemand nodig hebt, moet je soms even zoeken. Zelfs de crewcabines hebben hier een eigen douche en toilet. Vet Nice!

Janneke & Karin

De hele look; het vertegenwoordigt het plaatje van het concept. Als partner van Blue Rhapsody denk ik hierover mee, verder dan het uniform

De route naar de Blue Rhapsody toe met een fluisterboot is al heerlijk! Voor een intern evenement met 300 man hebben wij het schip al in optie staan.

Judith Noortman

Ik ben zwaar onder de indruk. Alles wat je van Constant in Beweging gewend bent: kwaliteit van A tot Z.

Ruud Duynisveld

Qua vormgeving en afwerkingsniveau is dit echt the next step. Prachtige aanvulling voor de evenementenmarkt.

Marc van Laere

Blue Rhapsody zal een soort mythe zijn én blijven. Let maar op: dit team heeft al eerder bewezen ons te verrassen en ook nu verbazen ze ons met kwaliteit.

Marc Liethof

Vanuit ons heel erg bedankt voor de goede zorgen en vooral de flexibiliteit, was een partij met wat onvoorziene uitdagingen. Vanuit onze opdrachtgever nog de volgende boodschap: Please send my regards and thanks to the Grace Kelly Staff. The food was excellent and service ran smoothly. I never saw any one without a drink! Vanuit Brand New Live hebben we prettig mogen samenwerken met jullie. Zou leuk zijn als hier een keer een vervolg aan komt.

Jamel van Laarhoven

Thank you again for the great work accomplished by you and your team for our event this week. The full evening program was highly appreciated by our guests. We had to push them out of the boat as some did not want to leave(which is a good sign). You contributed greatly to the success of our event

Vincent Chellinbrom

Gisteren heb ik met Youandi en Jeroen geëvalueerd hoe het was. En het was boven verwachting. Iedereen vond het een super feest. Het rode loper moment was inderdaad alles wat we hadden bedacht en meer. Dus grote complimenten voor jullie en hoe jullie dit hebben georganiseerd. Alles verliep top en in een flow. Het eten vonden ze goed, personeel en acteurs vonden ze ook top.

Eleonora van IJssel

Het was in één woord geweldig! Sjoerd is een kanjer! Dank voor al je hulp! En alle andere medewerkers voor, zoals mijn gasten zeiden: het mooiste feestje sinds tijden.

Namens alle collega’s willen wij jou en je team bedanken voor de goede zorgen vrijdag! Alles verliep perfect! Wij hebben een fantastische avond gehad aan boord van Grace Kelly, een avond die nog lang nabesproken zal worden.

Nick Miltenburg

Ik kende de foto’s, maar die geven niet weer hoe de Blue Rhapsody in het echt is. Het dek, het tussendek, het is prachtig! De boot straalt luxe uit en het organiseren van een evenement op het schip is dan ook direct een unieke belevenis. De buitenkant van de Blue Rhapsody heeft me het meest verrast. Belangrijk aan een evenement is, dat je iemand uit zijn dagelijkse sleur haalt. Het moment dat je dit schip ziet liggen, ben je dat direct en ben je ‘om’.

Edwin Nunnink

Blue Rhapsody is de perfecte locatie voor zakelijke evenementen.

Nancy Vroomen

Het is jammer dat Blue Rhapsody niet in Cannes vaart tijdens het filmfestival, want het schip heeft zeker die allure!

Je moet wel gek zijn, wil je hier niet van onder de indruk zijn. Prachtig! De Blue Rhapsody, het eten, de show en natuurlijk de verrassing van Angelique Schmeinck. We doen al 20 jaar zaken met Constant in Beweging, maar dit schip kan met gemak nog 20 jaar als evenementenlocatie mee.

Ben van den Driesschen

Bedankt voor een geweldige avond en voor de service, het vriendelijke personeel, het heerlijke eten en de mooie sfeer op het schip! @Sjoerd, heel fijn dat je zo lekker meedenkt, alles aanstuurt en ook daadwerkelijk ontzorgt op de avond zelf. Een perfecte gastheer!

Diane Parlevliet

Constant in Beweging is niet alleen een bureau dat je inhuurt, ze worden tijdelijk je collega’s. En dat maakt de samenwerking zo prettig.

The princess and the sea: the story of Grace Kelly's honeymoon yacht

BOAT peels back the layers on the nearly century-old vessel, where she's gone from a hardy naval ship to a honeymoon gift fit for a princess...

What's in a name? For the 44.8-metre Camper & Nicholsons yacht Grace , it's hard to pinpoint that one pivotal moment. In her close to 100 years on the water, she has played host to a roster of impressive guests, from royalty and politicians to Navy commanders and, more recently, to charter guests. Built at the British shipyard's Southampton facility, she hit the water in 1928 and was delivered to Argentinian entrepreneur Jacques “Santiago” Soulas, who named her Monica after his daughter. 

Four years later, she was sold to a Greek gentleman named Zarch Couyoumbian, who then named the yacht Rion. By 1938, she was back on the market and snapped up by the chairman of the Prudential Insurance Co., Sir George Tilley. 

Her finest hour: the war years

Her jazz-age years were relatively short-lived. At the onset of war in 1939, she was enlisted by the British government where she joined the British Navy and was renamed HMS Rion.  Throughout this chapter, the yacht became inextricably bound to the turning point in the war – the Battle of Dunkirk.

The Royal Navy needed smaller vessels like HMS Rion for coastal patrols and she was sent to a small shipyard in Tynemouth where her furnishings and teak panelling were substituted for machine guns, hammocks and anti-submarine warfare weaponry to hunt and sink German submarines. 

Most famously, on 26 May, 1940, during Operation Dynamo, HMS Rion was dispatched to the beaches of Dunkirk to help evacuate the hundreds of soldiers trapped there. She made three 39-mile trips from Dunkirk to Dover, collecting 300 soldiers with each run. On the third trip, she suffered a blow off her starboard bow, where 14 soldiers and one sailor were killed and shrapnel punctured holes in the hull. After repairs in Portsmouth, she continued duty in the channels from Portsmouth to Southampton.

Her efforts didn't stop there. HMS Rion was also involved in a daring nighttime capture of a German E-boat in 1940 and, later, in the discovery of a submarine in 1941. A few months on, the vessel's port engine had taken a slight battering, so she was decommissioned for a short period.

She returned to the water with a red cross painted across her sides and upper deck, where she was renamed HMS Noir and became an annexe to the Royal Naval Hospital until the war's end. She was decommissioned in 1945, returned to her original shipbuilders for restoration and, with a few more stories in her structure, made her way back to Sir George Tilley.

A yacht fit for a princess

Post-war, she came into her element as the princess's yacht. She was bought by Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis, who famously rescued, rebuilt and owned the 99.15-metre superyacht Christina O (named after his daughter and wife, Christina and Jackie O). Onassis restored the yacht to her original beauty, renamed her Arion and added her to his charter fleet – reportedly hosting Winston Churchill – before offering her as a wedding gift to Prince Rainier III and his bride-to-be, Grace Kelly, in 1956. 

The Hollywood actress travelled aboard the SS Constitution ship for eight days from New York to Monaco with her family, six bridesmaids, poodle and more than 50 bits of luggage, before the royal couple were legally married in a private civil ceremony in the palace throne room. Following their official nuptials, their grand fairytale wedding took place in Monaco's Saint Nicholas Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of Our Immaculate Lady. Located in front of Port Hercules at the foot of the train station, most yacht-goers will be familiar with the Cathedral of Monaco, where the prince and princess exchanged their vows in French.

The newlyweds rechristened their wedding gift Deo Juvante II and sailed into Monaco harbour to rapturous applause; the entire principality flooded the docks to wish the couple fair winds and following seas on their seven-week honeymoon – a Mediterranean idyll cruising along the coasts of Corsica and Sardinia.

They eventually parted with the yacht in 1958.

Grace : the charter yacht today

Today, charter guests can share a part of the yacht-with-many-name's history.  In 2011, the yacht was once again renamed Grace in a nod to her Hollywood associations and she now charters with Yachting Partners International (YPI) starting at a weekly rate of $134,000. According to BOATPro , she was renamed in 2007 and was most recently refitted in 2009 with a new upper deck to become a charter yacht in the Galápagos Islands, where the itinerary is heavily focused on wildlife watching with naturalist guides. 

The historic yacht has been renewed from bow to stern, where she can accommodate 16 guests across nine cabins, including the famous Grace Kelly Suite, with further accommodation for a crew of 12. Guests can make the most of her ample spaces, including a main saloon, dining area, well-stocked bar, library and al fresco lounge. There are also charter favourites including a hot tub and a solarium.

With nearly a century of seafaring under her belt, Grace has seen and heard some of the most defining moments in global history. After a rollercoaster early start to life, it's fair to say the 45-metre has earned a more peaceful chapter as a charter yacht in the Galápagos Islands, encapsulating all that it is to be Grace – always moving in a smooth, controlled, and attractive way.

Cruise Around the Galápagos Islands on Grace Kelly's Yacht

By Claire Gallam

Regardless of how many guidebooks I read and how many documentaries I saw that detailed the unabashed beauty of this cluster of islands off the coast of Ecuador, nothing prepared me for the Galápagos . I always knew I wanted to experience the Galápagos differently so when I heard that M/Y Grace , Grace Kelly and Prince Rainer's former honeymoon yacht was now being operated by Quasar Expeditions here, it was a done deal.

If you want all of the bells and whistles of a high-end cruise (Wi-Fi, in-room TVs, sprawling lounges, nightly entertainment) Quasar’s M/Y Grace is probably not the yacht for you. However, if you want to hark back to another era, and sail on a luxury yacht outfitted with a private chef, an aft-facing hot tub, and two on-board naturalists, there’s no ship like it.

The yacht was brought back to life—it had been sitting empty for decades in Montego Bay—in 2007 by Quasar Expeditions , an adventure company started by husband and wife team Eduardo and Dolores Diaz. The Diaz’s passion for the Galápagos runs deep, which is why it was one of the first destinations the company focused on when they launched in 1983.

I lucked out with a full-beam master suite, one of the only two suites on the ship. Situated on the Albert Deck, the suite’s furnishings—rich mahogany panels, side tables, and mirrors, a plush Queen bed and more storage space than my current apartment—didn’t feel opulent, but elegant. You could imagine Grace Kelly and Prince Rainer of Monaco sailing on it so many years ago. Quasar is committed to keeping the entire journey completely uninterrupted. At first it was extremely difficult to adjust to the lack of Wi-Fi, but now I can’t even fathom how different the trip would have been if we'd been connected to the outside world. No Internet meant more intimate conversations with the two families on the boat during dinner, as well late-night laughs with the always affable Dolores in the hot tub.

Because of Grace ’s smaller size (it’s just 145 feet long), the boat can navigate through smaller channels and in shallower waters. We were able to get up close and personal with sea lions sunbathing on rocks and ride right alongside pods of dolphins without a big ship in sight. There were also fewer passengers to wrangle each morning which meant we got to experience and visit the islands before any of the other boats even arrived. While I initially dreaded the 7 a.m. wake-up calls, all was forgiven once I realized there was no one else hiking to the top of Pinnacle Point or that I had Black Turtle Cove all to myself.

A suite on the M/Y Grace yacht.

Even though the mornings were busy with snorkeling adventures and our afternoons filled with hikes along lava fields and visits to private beaches, there was plenty of free time to soak up the peaceful solitude of being one of the only yachts in the water. Plus, the lack of light pollution from the boat (and the fact no other boats were ever in sight), meant we spent most of our clear nights stargazing from the top of the ship.

The M/Y Grace offers two distinct itineraries for curious passengers, both of which were inspired by Darwin’s 19th-century venture. The first seven-day itinerary starts on Baltra , the island that’s home to the Galápagos’ brand new international airport. It weaves through Santa Fé Island towards Isabela and through Santiago Island (home to breathtaking James Bay), populous Santa Cruz, and ends in San Cristobal . The yacht makes two scheduled stops a day—once in the morning and once at night—and this particular itinerary comes with plenty of active adventures, from kayaking to canoeing to hiking expeditions.

The itinerary I took started on San Cristobal Island and navigated through Española Hood Island, Floreana Island, Santa Cruz (with a necessary stop to reconnect to Wi-Fi), Rábida, Santiago, Pinnacle Rock—famed for its sweeping views—and finally ended in Baltra. Every day brought new sights and new adventures, from Española’s Gardner Bay, which features long white sandy beaches and colonies of sea lions to the tortoise reserve on Santa Cruz. The real highlights of this itinerary though were Rábida Island, home to flocks of bright pink flamingos and Bache’s Beach, where a curious baby penguin got so close we could practically hear his heartbeat.

In addition to these itineraries, Quasar is also introducing more expert-led trips, like one led by Richard Dawkins , the world-famous evolutionary biologist. The trip with Dawkins takes you deep into the islands’ biological history and provides lectures onboard. There are also trips available, where passengers get to learn the art of wildlife and landscape photography from experts. In other words, I'll be returning as soon as possible.

Meet Grace, the timeless beauty that has captured the hearts of travelers since the 1950s. Grace is the epitome of youth and glamor, having lived a gallant life that includes serving as a submarine chaser during World War II and sophisticated host to Aristotle Onassis, John Issa, and Sir Winston Churchill.

Don't be fooled by her age—the completely renovated Grace is as young and chic as the princess who honeymooned aboard. Her elegance and refinement are unmatched, and her parties are legendary. Come experience the magic for yourself, as Grace takes you on a journey through the wonders of the Galapagos.

Once known as Monica and later as Rion, the M/Y Grace has a fascinating history. Commissioned by Argentinean Santiago Soulas, she originally weighed 298 tons and was 147 feet long with a 23-foot beam and a 12-foot draft.

Once enjoyed by Sir George Tilley in the late 1930s, she was conscripted by the British for the war effort in 1939. Stripped of her furnishings and paneling, she was used by the Royal Navy for coastal patrols during the War Years.

Grace played an important role during WWII as she patrolled the calm waters off the Isle of Wight. Later, she was dispatched to the beaches of Dunkirk for the evacuation of the British Expeditionary Force during Operation Dynamo.

In a daring night operation, Rion and two other ships captured a German E-boat off the Isle of Wight. After engaging in a firefight, Rion delivered the final blow, securing the enemy vessel and escorting it to Portsmouth Harbour naval base.

Her heroics continued as she hunted a submarine on the night of March 23, 1941, making multiple depth charge runs. Refitted as a floating annex to the Royal Navy Hospital, she served until the end of the war, earning a new name, HMS Noir.

After being decommissioned in 1945, she was restored to her luxurious beginnings by her original builders, Camper & Nicholsons. She was then returned to Sir George Tilley on September 16, 1947, remaining with him until his death in 1951.

HMS Noir became the glamorous Arion under Aristotle Onassis' charter firm, hosting a stream of A-list celebrities and even welcoming Sir Winston Churchill aboard during her three-year reign as the queen of the seas.

Aristotle Onassis gave a royal gift to Prince Rainier and Grace Kelly: the luxurious yacht Arion. The prince spent weeks refurbishing the vessel, which would later welcome the Hollywood star to her new home in Monaco.

After the wedding, the royal couple began their honeymoon with a short stay in Mallorca, Spain, followed by a cruise aboard the yacht—which they christened Deo Juvente II—along the coasts of Corsica and Sardinia.

After being gifted to Monaco's royal couple, the yacht changed hands and was renamed Daska before becoming a popular charter in the Bahamas under Crest Shipping in the 1960s. She’s no stranger to crystalline waters.

Newly-named Angela continued her journey under the ownership of Valef Yachts in the Caribbean. After a heroic evacuation effort in the Lebanese Civil War and a stunning refurbishment, she remained a beloved luxury charter until 1982.

With a new identity as the M/Y Zein, named after one of John Issa’s daughters, she cruised along the East Coast. Zein remained a sought-after vessel, catching the attention of buyers such as Paul Allen, co-founder of Microsoft.

The M/Y Zein became the M/Y Grace in 2007, as Quasar Expeditions took her back to her most elegant times. With a complete refit and recent renovation, she continues to make headlines as the most elegant ship to cruise the Galapagos Islands.

Our Grace yacht itinerary options are not better or worse–they are simply different. Each guarantees authentic experiences and lifetime memories.

What is the right length of time for a yacht safari? One of the biggest mistakes travelers make when visiting the Galapagos is simply not leaving enough time to experience the islands to the fullest. We’ve crafted a just-right 8 day/7 night and 14 day/15 night itinerary options to maximize your time for exploration, breathtaking wildlife encounters, and optimal relaxation.

8 Days / 7 Nights Itineraries Over the course of 30+ years of Galapagos experience, Quasar has crafted two 7 night/ 8 day itineraries of equal quality in terms of site visitations, expedition activities, scenery, and wildlife encounters. Join us for a week of discovery through the lens of Darwin.

15 Days / 14 Nights Itinerary For those time-privileged travelers seeking deeper Galapagos immersion, we offer a 14 day/15 night itinerary. This expedition covers the entire archipelago, ensuring no experience is left a mystery. Guests enjoy a higher chance of encountering the rare species that inspired Darwin’s brilliant works.

In 2012, Galapagos National Park began requiring all cruise organizations to wait two weeks before visiting the same landing site. This regulation was introduced to disperse boats more evenly and lighten the environmental load for the Park’s 80+ visitor sites, and resulted in 2-3 cruise itineraries for every ship in Galapagos.

One of our Galapagos experts will happily offer itinerary guidance and answer questions about the journeys we offer.

Grace Kelly’s Honeymoon Yacht Just Got a Luxe Makeover

Would you ever dream of experiencing the allure of the Galapagos Islands in true luxury? We have the perfect solution for you. The iconic honeymoon yacht once belonging to Princess Grace Kelly has undergone extensive refurbishment in preparation for this year's adventures in the renowned archipelago.

Originally crafted by Camper and Nicholsons, this 147-foot vessel was gifted to the American actress and Prince Rainier III by Aristotle Onassis for their 1956 wedding. During their honeymoon, the newlyweds explored the shores of Corsica and Sardinia before parting ways with the yacht in 1958. In 2007, it was christened as " Grace ." While the yacht had seen renovations prior, this recent overhaul marks a significant transformation.

Enrique Concha & Co spearheaded the renovation efforts, revitalizing the eight en suite staterooms, the existing bar, and the kitchen. The updated interior boasts a blend of contemporary aesthetics and inviting warmth, with wood accents complementing modern furnishings. Furthermore, cutting-edge technological features have been integrated, including mood-adjusting lighting and additional USB ports and plugs for convenience.

The Chilean design firm also introduced a new coffee lounge for those in need of a caffeine boost, along with a boutique featuring clothing handpicked by fashion experts. Furthermore, Grace's menu has been completely revamped to elevate the culinary experience to new heights.

Outside, the newly expanded deck provides guests with panoramic views of the surrounding wildlife , including dolphins, whales, manta rays, and sea lions . There's even the chance to catch sight of rare avian species such as the renowned blue-footed boobies and short-eared owls native to the Galápagos .

In addition to aesthetic enhancements, Grace's propulsion system has undergone a significant upgrade. With new engines, generators, stabilizers, and propellers, the yacht now operates with increased smoothness, reduced noise, and enhanced efficiency. It boasts a maximum speed of 15 knots, although, in such a breathtaking setting, there's hardly a need to rush.

Grace accommodates up to 18 guests and is exclusively stationed in the Galápagos. She presents three distinct itineraries inspired by the explorations of Darwin: two eight-day voyages and one 15-day expedition. Pricing begins at $8,500 per person, and reservations can be made conveniently online. Additionally, Grace is available for private charter, albeit at a premium, with rates reaching six figures for a week. For more information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

When Grace Kelly married Prince Rainier in the 1956, Aristotle Onassis presented the royal couple with a luxury yacht as a wedding present. The newlyweds honeymooned on the 147-foot vessel, built by Camper and Nicholsons, along the coasts of Corsica and Sardinia before parting with it in 1958.

Built in England for the Argentinean tycoon Santiago Soulas in 1928, the life of the M/Y Grace might make good fodder for a screenplay. In 1938, Sir George Tilley, chairman of Prudential Insurance Co., acquired the yacht, named Rion at the time, until the British conscripted her a year later for the war effort. In 1940, Rion was given the harrowing task of evacuating the British Expeditionary Force from the beaches of Dunkirk. She made two successful runs before a bomb on the third run struck her starboard bow killing 15 and damaging the hull. After she was repaired, Rion captured a German E-boat that same year south of the Isle of Wight.

The M/Y Grace ’s two decks also allow guests to walk 360 degrees around the boat, maximizing the chances for spotting wildlife such as dolphins, whales, manta rays, sea lions and a host of rare birds including the Galapagos’ famed blue-footed boobies and short-eared owls. In addition to the Grace Kelly Suite, other luxurious onboard accommodations include staterooms with queen beds, wooden furnishings, and luxurious bathrooms that include walk-in showers and vanities.

The M/Y Grace sleeps 18 and can be booked for two itineraries: “Following in Darwin’s Footsteps” begins on Baltra and continues to remote and rarely-visited islands like Genovesa and the western side of Isabela and Fernandina, while “Beyond Darwin’s Footsteps” begins on San Cristobál and ends on Baltra. The private charter rate starts at $127,000 per week.

Grace Kelly’s Restored Yacht Now Transports Passengers Around the Galápagos Islands

By Todd Plummer

There is so little left unexplored in the world that following in another person's footsteps is inevitable. Over time, the appeal of certain destinations becomes not just the destination itself, but experiencing it the way someone else already has—like Princess Margaret’s Mustique , Hemingway’s Kenya, or Chanel’s Paris . So when we heard that a vessel formerly belonging to Princess Grace of Monaco had been spotted floating around the Galápagos Islands, our curiosity was piqued. After all, the Galápagos are filled with cruising vessels taking travelers from island to island, and many of those boats tend to be miniature cruise ships: clunky, charmless, and impersonal. Not the case with this ship.

The history of the M/Y Grace is like something out of a movie. Originally owned by an Argentinian tycoon who used it for personal trips across the Atlantic, the Grace was eventually hired by the British Government for missions during World War II—it hosted Winston Churchill when he visited British war ships in the Mediterranean. After the war, it was purchased by Aristotle Onassis (as in, second husband of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis ) and remained in his hands for a few years until he eventually refurbished it and gave it as a wedding gift to Prince Rainier and Grace Kelly at their wedding in 1956. For years, Princess Grace used the vessel to entertain important guests of the Principality on day-long excursions on the Mediterranean, as well as for holidays with her family between the Italian and French Rivieras. Think of the all the conversation this boat has seen. All the rosé. And all the Hermés headscarfs !

But it wasn’t always smooth sailing for the Grace. After a few years of glamorous cruising on the high seas, the Principality of Monaco sold the vessel to a businessman, who in turn sold it to a private owner in the Caribbean. For decades, the Grace languished in obscurity. For a time it was even called the Zein—an inelegant name which pays no homage to the ship’s iconic former owner. It even sat decommissioned in Montego Bay for a few years when one of the owners failed to pay taxes to the Jamaican government.

Then ahoy! In 2006 word started to spread that a Caribbean yacht formerly owned by Grace Kelly was on the market. It was purchased by Quasar Expeditions, a small-group adventure company with a few itineraries in Ecuador, Peru and Patagonia but specializing in Galápagos expeditions. “When we bought her, the refurbishing work was intensive…We worked on returning her to her former splendor,” says Quasar’s owner, Dolores Diez. “We used the original blueprints for the hull and technical areas, and took into consideration her former looks but used modern materials to provide her with the latest requirements on safety and make her more environmentally friendly.” The result of Quasar’s painstaking restoration is a triumph. The interiors are polished and smart, and the public spaces flow effortlessly from one to the next. It is a modern vessel, timeless in its design.

Each journey's adventure-filled agenda includes outings like kayak tours, snorkels, or naturalist-guided hikes to spot giant monitor lizards and blue-footed boobies. Seeing these islands on a smaller vessel such as the Grace makes for a personal experience that the Galápagos’s larger vessels simply can’t deliver. The Grace fits just about twenty-five guests, and is often booked out for multi-generational family trips. You might arrive as a stranger, but having shared this remarkable experience, you leave with literally a boatload of new friends. For a swashbuckling itinerary through the Galápagos that does not skimp on comfort or taste (short of chartering your own private vessel for twenty times the price), there is no better alternative.

After each day’s activities, you might be inclined to relax and reflect. The best place to do this is on the ship’s bow, where white railings frame azure waters like artwork. Stand by one of those railings and look out to where the sea meets the sky. It’s easy to get lost in your thoughts here. And while she might have been oceans away during a different time, it’s still tantalizing to think that one of the world’s most elegant women once did exactly what you’re doing now.
