Hermes, Luxury Catamaran, Galápagos Islands Cruise

Hermes Mega Catamaran sets a new benchmark as the Galápagos islands’ first ultra-luxury cruise vessel. Welcoming just 20 guests on board a 50-metre catamaran, it delivers exceptional space and privacy, with 12 convertible suites featuring private balconies, Jacuzzi baths, walk-in wardrobes and floor-to-ceiling windows. A crew of 20(including 2 naturalist guides), including a butler service, ensures discreet and highly personalised attention, while shore excursions are conducted in small groups of no more than 10 guests per naturalist guide.

One of the largest vessels in the archipelago for such a limited number of passengers, Hermes offers expansive social and wellness areas. Guests can unwind in the full-service spa with hammam, relax on the sundeck with its outdoor Jacuzzi, or enjoy time in the library and two stylish bars. Al fresco dining spaces make the most of the surrounding seascapes, while the culinary programme is elevated through a signature menu created exclusively for the yacht, complemented by cooking demonstrations and cocktail masterclasses.

Exploration remains central to the experience, with snorkelling, kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding included, and all equipment provided on board. Three, four and six-night itineraries can be combined for a longer, in-depth journey through the archipelago, blending immersive wildlife encounters with an exceptional level of comfort and service.
