Luxury Cruise Hermes
The Hermes mega catamaran represents an exceptional ultra-luxury experience in the Galápagos Islands, combining exclusivity with the highest level of personalized service. With only 20 guests on board, it offers a particularly intimate atmosphere, while the nearly 1:1 crew-to-guest ratio ensures individually tailored service at the highest standard.
The elegant, spacious suites each feature private balconies and their own jacuzzis, offering maximum comfort as well as uninterrupted views of the unique island landscape. At the same time, Hermes combines the privacy of a small yacht with the comfort and amenities of a large cruise ship.
After eventful days in the fascinating ecosystems of the Galápagos, attentive butler service and exclusive facilities such as a hammam provide relaxation and recovery at the highest level.
