Days: 4, 5 and 8 | From: $4,190/per person

Launching in March 2026, the Monique is a premium catamaran built for up to 16 guests, offering an intimate way to explore the Galápagos. Its sleek twin-hull design and three spacious decks - including a sun deck with lounge areas, whirlpool, bar, and al-fresco dining - provide comfort, stability, and sweeping views. The ship features well-appointed double staterooms with floor-to-ceiling views, premium bedding, air-conditioning, and a private bathroom with upscale amenities. A near 1:1 crew-to-guest ratio ensures attentive, personalized service. Outfitted with solar panels and lithium battery storage, the Monique minimizes its environmental impact. Onboard spaces are designed to keep guests connected to nature, while daily guided excursions bring them face-to-face with the archipelago’s remarkable wildlife.
