HERMES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Galapagos’ First Ultra-Luxury Cruise
Hermes Mega Catamaran is the first Ultra-Luxury Cruise to sail in the Galapagos Islands. With a guest capacity capped at 20 guests, Hermes provides an unrivalled experience through exclusivity, high end amenities and a crew to guest ratio of almost 1 to 1.
All of our Suites feature their own private balcony and private jacuzzi overlooking the ocean. Enjoy from our premium beverage menu complimentary during your stay. Relax after a day of discovery on the islands with the pampering of our butler service or from purification in our Hammam with views to stunning Galapagos’ landscapes.
Hermes Catamaran accommodates 20 guests in 12 state-of-the-art suites, 10 double and 2 single. They are distributed on the main and upper deck and are equipped with a walk-in closet, a fully stocked mini-bar, and a vanity. In addition, they feature floor to ceiling windows and a private balcony. You also have a jacuzzi in each suite, next to a panoramic window overlooking the fascinating landscapes of the Galapagos Islands.
Double suites are 35 sq. meters (377 sq. feet) on average, and all of them can be convertible. Four double suites located on the main deck can be interconnected.
The two single suites are 20 sq. meters (200 sq. feet) and are located on the main deck.
Luxury Experience Indoor social areas
Aboard Hermes, you discover that you can experience the intimacy and exclusivity of a small vessel while enjoying the comfort and facilities of a large cruise ship. Our seven indoor social areas confirm this.
The indoor bar, located next to the check-in area, offers you a premium selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, all included as part of Hermes’ experience.
Two spacious lounges feature flat screen TVs used by guides for their daily briefings or by yourself to watch videos expanding your knowledge about the Galapagos Islands. We also use them for social celebrations.
Hermes Mega Catamaran is the first Galapagos small vessel offering guests an actual library where you can go to deepen your understanding of the Enchanted Islands. This is also an ideal place if you are in the search of silence and tranquility.
Luxury Experience Outdoor social areas
Hermes offers also a variety of outdoor social areas where you can feel the gentle touch of the breeze on your face.
You can sit down and enjoy the landscapes of the places that you are leaving behind or observe marine wildlife swimming behind the boat.
The aperitif lounge, located on the upper deck, is an ideal place to relax and enjoy your favorite drink while navigating to the next visitor’s site or waiting for your meal.
The sundeck hosts several outdoor social areas. Its open area has a social jacuzzi and reclinable chairs for you to share time with your friends or relatives while tanning in the sun, enjoying your favorite drink, or observing frigatebirds fly over you.
The al-fresco dining and the second bar are located in the covered part of the sundeck. You can enjoy the delicious flavours of Hermes’ signature menu or taste new cocktails with the stunning nature of the Galapagos surrounding you.
On de sundeck’s bow (font part of the vessel), the observation area is totally open and offers comfortable seats with tables to continue falling in love with the fascinating Galapagos Islands landscapes.
