Discover the Galapagos islands
About Elite Galapagos Cruise
Step aboard the Elite Galapagos Cruise, a purpose-built luxury catamaran engineered for ultra-stable, smooth sailing. Its twin-hull design creates generous space: wall-of-glass suites that bring the seascape right into your room, a semi-shaded sun deck, a chic lounge and bar, and an elegant al-fresco dining area. State-of-the-art navigation and safety systems add peace of mind while you explore. Dining is part of the journey: chefs craft refined Ecuadorian-inspired menus with fresh local ingredients, accommodate special diets with ease, and keep families happy with kid-friendly tastings. Breakfast and most lunches are relaxed buffets; evenings shift to a polished, open-air dinner under the stars. Naturalist-led excursions connect you to the islands’ living laboratory—hike Fernandina’s lava fields, see waved albatross on Española, snorkel the Devil’s Crown with sea lions and rays, and scan Genovesa’s cliffs alive with seabirds. Clear briefings, smart pacing, and seamless tender operations mean more time where it matters. From sunrise outings to star-studded nights on deck, the Elite Galapagos Cruise blends style, comfort, and discovery—a refined Galapagos islands Cruise that turns a dream into lasting memories.
