Hermes Galapagos Catamaran
Experience the unique Galapagos Islands from the ultra-luxurious Hermes Catamaran
Charles Darwin once described the Galapagos Islands as being a “a little world within itself”. Rather like the Hermes Galapagos Catamaran – the first ultra-luxury cruise to visit this remote volcanic archipelago, around 900 kilometres off the coastline of Ecuador. Look forward to a once-in-a-lifetime experience that feels even more exclusive and pampering thanks to a crew-guest ratio of nearly 1:1, boutique amenities, and 24/7 butler service.
The spacious suites are designed with a soothing colour palette – complete with luxurious furnishings, walk-in wardrobe, and jacuzzi overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Wake up or drift off to showstopping sunrises and sunsets through floor-to-ceiling windows. Or simply sit back with a glass of champagne on your own private balcony – spotting albatrosses and pelicans gliding over their prehistoric kingdom of black lava cliffs, mangrove lagoons and pristine turquoise sea.
Read more[SPLIT]Read lessTake your pick from hiking trips to water sports. Whichever itinerary you choose, all small-group excursions are led by an expert naturalist guide. Back on the Hermes, enjoy a quiet read in the tranquil atmosphere of the library. Unwind with a massage in the spa. And when hunger strikes, savour the finest Ecuadorian cuisine and cocktails in the dining area. There’s also a jacuzzi pool on the sundeck – the perfect place to chat about that day’s adventures as you watch this unspoilt paradise drift by.
Enjoy your stay!
Our Hotel

Close encounters of the indigenous kinds
Snorkel among sea lions and little Galapagos penguins. Sit on a glass-bottom boat as turtles and marine iguanas swim beneath your feet. Watch the famous Galapagos giant tortoises lumbering past blue-footed boobies, Darwin’s finches and other rare birds.
With a choice of itineraries ranging from four to 15 days – an experienced guide will accompany you and up to nine guests to some of the remoter destinations, such as Genovesa Island. Just remember to keep your camera ready for wildlife encounters unlike anything else on Earth.

Dive into adventure
For trips on both land and sea, the Hermes crew will provide all you need to make every moment fun and memorable. That might be wetsuits and snorkelling equipment, or kayaks and stand-up paddleboards (SUPs). You’ll also find some trekking poles in your suite – handy for hiking across rocky, volcanic beaches or through forests of Scalesia, the Giant Daisy Tree.

Master the culinary arts
Dip into the fascinating culture and history that make Ecuadorian cuisine so special and delicious with the onboard chef. Special hands-on sessions will take you through the cooking techniques, processes to follow and ingredients that go into recreating these ancestral dishes. You could also perfect your mixology skills with the Hermes’ bartenders, learning how to make traditional Latin American cocktails.

Read, watch and learn at your leisure
Discover more about an animal species your guide talked about during a hike. Maybe you’d simply like a peaceful place to read whatever you like. The elegant onboard library is a haven of knowledge, filled with the latest scientific books and informational materials. There are also videos about the Galapagos Islands you can watch on large, state-of-the-art flat screen TVs in the two social lounges.
