    The Galapagos Endemic Cruise was thought for the maximum comfort for little groups of friends and entire families. The cruise is the perfect combination of commodity, sophistication, and luxury for all your family. Therefore, this is divided into three decks: the main, the upper, and the sky decks. Each with unique features for the enjoyment of the passenger on board.

    This platform serves as a place to embark and disembark, and it provides simple, non-slip access to the catamaran. This location is also an area of departure and arrival points for the daily guided tours. After their trips to the islands, the fortunate guests are treated to refreshments, drinks, and hot and cold towels in this charming reception room. This is where the Endemic crew stores our wetsuits, snorkels, and expedition gear. This area is located at the stern of the catamaran on the main deck.

    Rooms

    The Endemic has eight gorgeous golden suites with a king-size bed that can be transformed into two single beds. These are distributed in four golden suites on the main deck and four golden suites on the upper deck. The difference is that the four golden suites on the upper deck can interconnect between them, which is really handy because there’s a door that connects suites. The suites on the main deck are individuals without the possibility of connecting.

    There are four suites on the main level. Additionally, there are four suites on the upper deck that may be connected to accommodate large families or groups of friends. With sliding glass doors that run the length of the room and reach the ceiling, they are all equipped with expansive views of the islands. Because, each and every suite has a private balcony with a cozy seating space. In addition, every suite also includes a couch bed for extra sleeping arrangements and more room. Moreover, each of the eight suites can sleep two visitors in separate twin beds, or a marriage, or a couple in a king-size bed.
