The Elite is a sleek yet spacious catamaran, set to sail the Galapagos archipelago from June 2019. It accommodates just 16 passengers but has space for 10 additional crew members so service is attentive and personal. The cabins themselves can all accommodate either a king-sized bed or twin beds, and all boast huge sliding glass doors which open out onto a private balcony. Binoculars and waterproof action cameras are provided for each suite so you can document your activities out on the water and enjoy better views of the wildlife.
Social areas on board the Elite are also spacious, with plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors on each deck. The main deck boasts a huge panoramic lounge while the sky deck offers a bar, seating and Jacuzzi for evenings under the stars.
Itineraries are either 3, 4 or 7 nights, taking in twice daily excursions in the Galapagos Islands, both on land and on the water. Spend days walking across lava fields, snorkelling with sea lions, turtles and penguins, and kayaking past dolphins and an array of colourful bird species. This is a fantastic cruise option for guests who wish to explore this incredible natural playground while staying on board an intimate yet comfortable ship.
