THE GALAPAGOS LUXURY CRUISE EXPERIENCE
On the Endemic and Elite
The modern motor catamarans like the Endemic and Elite are safe, comfortable, and have all the amenities you would expect from a luxury cruising vessel.
The Endemic, for example, features satellite internet service for guest use, top-shelf cuisine that can cater to your special dietary requests, flat screen tv in the briefing area for nightly briefings, complimentary snorkeling equipment, clear-bottom sea kayaks, and standup paddleboards.
Our luxury cruises in the Galapagos Islands spend time cruising through the sea and stopping at must-see island locations. A typical day on a Galapagos luxury yacht like the Endemic or Elite might include breakfast and a morning expedition to a visitor site.
At the site, you may see Frigate Birds, Blue-footed Boobies, sea lions, tortoises, iguanas, or Galapagos Penguins. A delicious lunch on board the ship will follow, as well as an afternoon trip to a spectacular snorkeling spot and then another gourmet meal for dinner. Cap this off with a cold drink on the deck while watching a dazzling sunset, and you have the perfect Galapagos day!
