A shimmering ship

  • Hotel

Cruise in style on a golden catamaran

Solo travellers and couples alike are welcomed onto the Elite, a superb small ship that sails the waters of the Galápagos Islands. With either double suites or single cabins, you will sleep on supremely comfortable beds and wake to views of the ocean through the floor-to-ceiling glass doors that lead onto a private balcony.

This stylish vessel with its gold-painted hull has myriad communal areas for socialising with fellow guests and enjoying the views of the ocean and islands beyond. Sun yourself on the Sky Deck, where there’s a hot tub and loungers for relaxing and a small dining area for al fresco lunches, or head down to the bar and lounge to find quiet time with a book on the sofa.

Your onboard crew is made up of real experts, from chefs who prioritise island-grown ingredients to guides and naturalists who will make the magic of the Galapagos come alive as you explore.
