In service since June 2019, the Elite was built to raise the standard of small-ship cruising in the Galápagos. Its suites are generously sized and every one has large panoramic windows and a private outdoor balcony, so the islands are in view even when you are resting between landings. Beds convert between one king and two twins, which makes the ship as comfortable for friends travelling together as for couples.
The Elite sails three-, four- and seven-night island itineraries, lettered A to D. The shorter routes suit a first taste of the archipelago; the seven-night routes reach further and give you time to see how different each island is.
