Monique

The Monique Galápagos Catamaran carries just 16 guests for an intimate cruise experience. Each cabin has minimalist decor and floor-to-ceiling windows, so you can look out onto the vibrant marine ecosystem around you. The three decks offer different perspectives on the ocean.

Step onto the Sky Deck to relax in the whirlpool or outdoor lounge. On the Upper Deck, you’ll find a shaded terrace and sun loungers, and the Main Deck has an indoor lounge, dining salon and observation platform.

Excursions uncover the Galápagos’ extraordinary biodiversity. On Santa Cruz, visit the Fausto Llerena Breeding Center at the Charles Darwin Research Station to learn about giant tortoise conservation. On Genovesa, climb El Barranco, also known as Prince Philip’s Steps, where red-footed boobies and frigatebirds wheel overhead. Further west, Fernandina’s Punta Espinoza has the archipelago’s largest gathering of marine iguanas, sharing the rocks with sea lions and Galápagos penguins.

Life on board is equally considered. Meals showcase locally sourced ingredients and Ecuadorian flavours, served indoors or al fresco on the Sky Deck as the sun sets. With a near one-to-one crew-to-guest ratio, service feels highly personal. And bilingual naturalist guides accompany every landing to give you a deeper understanding of the region’s extraordinary biodiversity.

Solar panels and lithium batteries help reduce noise and emissions, allowing for smoother passage and quieter navigation through sensitive habitats.
