In Galapagos, the rule is to keep things informal. No matter how luxurious your cruise, the range of clothing you should bring is from “informal” to “very informal”. There is a weight limit of 44lb (20kg) per person for luggage when flying to Galapagos. If you are staying in Quito before and after your Galapagos cruise you may arrange to leave some in your hotel.
