The perfect suite for your perfect Galapagos trip
The maiden voyage of the Galapagos Elite took place in June 2019, marking the debut of this remarkable luxury yacht meticulously crafted for sailing in the Galapagos Islands.
Distinguished by its twin-hull catamaran design, the Galapagos Elite promises guests an exceptionally stable and smooth cruising experience, surpassing the capabilities of older single-hull vessels. This innovative configuration not only enhances stability but also improves fuel efficiency, cruising speed, and spaciousness. It provides guests with more comfortable social areas, luxurious suites, and opulent premium suites. Outdoor spaces have also been expanded, including a sprawling semi-shaded sky deck, a delightful alfresco dining area, and an exquisitely comfortable saloon and bar.

What truly sets the Galapagos Elite apart is its cutting-edge power plant, navigation systems, and safety equipment, making it the safest and most dependable ship in the Galapagos cruise fleet. A standout feature is the panoramic glass walls in every suite, allowing guests to wake up to ever-changing views that seamlessly merge the outside world with their luxurious accommodations.
The onboard dining experience is equally exceptional, with skilled chefs preparing three exquisite meals daily. Breakfast and most lunches are served in a relaxed buffet style, while evenings offer an elegant dining experience in the stunning alfresco area on the sky deck. The chefs prioritize the use of the freshest local ingredients and are capable of catering to special dietary needs. They also offer child-friendly options, ensuring a memorable experience for the entire family on this once-in-a-lifetime Galapagos cruise.
Despite its opulent luxury, the primary draw for most guests remains the opportunity to explore the Galapagos Islands’ unique wildlife and habitats. The Elite’s naturalist itineraries have been thoughtfully designed to maximize exciting encounters, featuring visits to the most captivating visitor sites in the Galapagos archipelago.
Highlights include hiking the stark volcanic landscapes of Fernandina Island, marveling at the Albatross nesting sites on Española, snorkeling with Galapagos Sea Lions around the renowned «Devil’s Crown,» and exploring the world-famous «Bird Island» of Genovesa. During these excursions, guests can anticipate sightings of the iconic endemic animals associated with the islands, such as giant tortoises, land and marine iguanas, blue-footed boobies, frigate birds, and more. The dedicated onboard naturalist guides are experts in their field, possessing intimate knowledge of the various species and the best locations for encountering them.
The Galapagos Elite’s suites offer spacious comfort with panoramic ocean views, private balconies, and convertible beds. Each suite also features a stylish, well-lit restroom with a frosted glass wall for natural light.
