EXCLUSIVE CRUISE
Sailing across the blue and turquoise waters of the Galapagos Islands, you will find the luxurious Hermes Mega Catamaran. With 12 suites, 10 of which are doubles and two for solo travellers, the Hermes provides an unparalleled exclusive cruise experience that has been specifically designed to explore the lands and waters of the Enchanted Islands.
The suites are distributed across the main deck and the upper deck, and each room has been equipped with a walk-in closet, floor to ceiling windows, a private balcony and a private jacuzzi with spectacular views of the ocean. With a crew to guest ratio of almost 1-to-1 and a 24/7 butler service, the Hermes offers its guests an unrivalled bespoke experience. There are also two spacious lounges, two bars, a sundeck, an observation deck and a dining hall surrounded by panoramic views of the islands.
For close encounters with the wondrous nature of the Galapagos, you can embark on one of the extraordinary land adventures and water excursions, all of which are led by one of the two experienced naturalist guides aboard. If you prefer to avoid the water, you can still witness the magnificent sea turtles, playful sea lions and an incredible array of other marine life from a glass bottom boat.
After a day of adventure, you will dine from the signature menu which has been designed by a renowned Ecuadorian chef, then you will have the opportunity to be pampered in the spa, purified in the Hammam, bathe in knowledge of the library or relax in the aperitif lounge.
