National Geographic Delfina

The National Geographic Delfina, sailing in early 2025, is a luxury catamaran designed for stylish and stable tours of the Galapagos Islands. It accommodates 16 guests in spacious, air-conditioned double cabins with elegant wood décor. Cabins are located across two decks, offering private balconies (Category 5) or direct access to a large wooden deck (Category 4).

The vessel features an open-air Observation Deck providing 360-degree views, complete with a shaded relaxation area, whirlpool hot tub, and lounge chairs. On the wrap-around Upper Deck, guests can dine al fresco while enjoying stunning island views. The Main Deck houses the dining room, bar, cozy lounge with a library, and serves as the boarding area.

For an authentic Galapagos experience, the National Geographic Delfina emphasizes local community engagement and conservation efforts. Ecuadorian officers and crew enhance the immersive experience, alongside sustainably sourced culinary ingredients from local farms and oceans. Each voyage is led by an experienced Expedition Leader and National Geographic certified photo instructor, both licensed naturalists guiding adventures in the Galápagos National Park and Marine Reserve.

Departing Fridays year-round, the ship offers a classic 10-day itinerary with included nights in Quito or Guayaquil before and after the voyage. It's also available for private charters, ideal for family, friends, or organizations looking to explore the Galapagos Islands together.
