Cruise Overview

Grand Endemic: A Luxury Galápagos Journey


The Endemic is a modern, carbon-neutral luxury catamaran built for up to 16 guests. Its sleek hull echoes the gentle curves of the Galápagos islands, blending elegance with a deep respect for nature. With nearly one crew member for every guest, service onboard feels highly personal and attentive. Three full decks offer panoramic views, generous social spaces, and plenty of room to relax between excursions.

Large sliding glass doors flood the interior with natural light. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the sea. Private balconies off the suites let you step outside and listen to waves, even when the boat is anchored.

Cruise routes vary in length — from three nights to as long as fourteen. You’ll find short, immersive itineraries or deeper explorations that reach the more secluded corners of the archipelago.

Short and long itineraries cover a wide mix of Galapagos habitats.

Short routes offer strong wildlife viewing and scenic variety. Longer routes reach remote areas with distinctive landscapes and rare species. Each itinerary blends land walks, ocean activities, and observation time on deck.

LUXURY ACCOMMODATIONS

  • Golden Panoramic Suites: Eight suites spread across the main and upper decks.
  • Single Cabin: There’s a dedicated solo option on the upper deck.
  • Every room has its own climate control, a private balcony, and large windows that let in sweeping ocean views.
  • Beds can be arranged as king-size or twin, depending on your preference.
  • Bathrooms are modern and private, with hot and cold water, and full amenities.
  • There’s ample storage space — closets, drawers, and a small writing desk in each suite
