Overview

Upon arrival to the Galapagos Islands in the summer of 2019 the Elite Catamaran immediately set a new standard for other luxury-class yachts to follow. This Elite Galapagos Cruise feels like a luxury hotel on the open water. The cabins are spacious with all the details well thought out. The en-suite facilities include a frosted-glass wall shower. All cabins can be converted from king to twins.

The gastronomical experience will truly delight you. All of the ingredients are sourced from local farms or caught fresh. Most of the breakfasts and lunches will be served buffet style, while dinner will be elegant and romantic. Special dietary needs or kids’ meals are easily provided upon request.

The yacht features all of the amenities you would expect on a luxury cruise; including a semi-covered sky deck, outdoor dining options, open-air & indoor bars, and a comfortable jacuzzi. Adjoining cabins are available on both decks.
