Hermes Galapagos Luxury Cruise

Ultra-Luxury Superyacht

The Hermes Mega Catamaran defines the ultra-luxury voyage in the Galapagos Islands.

We curate an experience where exclusivity and truly personalized service are paramount. With a capacity of only 20 privileged guests, the Hermes ensures an intimate journey unrivaled in the archipelago. Our exceptional crew, boasting a nearly 1-to-1 crew-to-guest ratio, delivers genuinely bespoke service, allowing us to anticipate your desires before they are even spoken.

You will enjoy the private intimacy of a small, elegant yacht without compromising the sophistication of a larger cruise ship. Every moment of repose is elevated in your private sanctuary: each suite aboard this leading Galapagos Luxury Cruise features an expansive private balcony and a private jacuzzi, ensuring you have unobstructed, continuous views of the magnificent islands.

After a profound day of discovery among the islands’ unique ecosystems, surrender entirely to rejuvenation. Allow our dedicated butler service to fulfill your every request, or seek deep purification in our exclusive Hammam while you gaze upon the stunning, primordial Galápagos landscapes.
