The newest addition to the fleet having launched in early 2025, and the most intimate with a capacity of just sixteen guests, the National Geographic Delfina is a luxury catamaran based exclusively in the Galápagos Islands.
What we love
This intimate catamaran offers a unique way to experience the beauty of the Galápagos Islands, with just eight spacious staterooms, all featuring picture windows and private balconies. Outside space is abundant, with an open-air Observation Deck complete with loungers and hot tub, and the wraparound Upper Deck is the spot for enjoying the spectacular scenery and looking out for wildlife. The ship is the perfect size to privately charter the entire vessel with a group of friends or family.
