National Geographic Delfina

The ultimate, intimate Galápagos expedition aboard a 16-guest catamaran

Overview

Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic welcomes the newest and most intimate addition to the Galápagos fleet, National Geographic Delfina. Setting sail in early 2025, this sleek, contemporary vessel is a luxury catamaran designed for cruising the Galápagos Islands in style and stable comfort. The elegant, well-appointed ship, with a double hull, accommodates 16 guests in eight spacious, air-conditioned double staterooms with polished wood décor. Located on two decks, staterooms have either a private balcony (Category 5) or direct access to an expansive wood deck (Category 4).

The open-air Observation Deck, which provides 360-degree views, has a shaded area for relaxation, a whirlpool hot tub, and lounge chairs to take in your surroundings. On the wrap-around Upper Deck, dine al fresco at the stern and enjoy spectacular island views from the bow as you watch for dolphins, whales, and other dazzling marine life. The dining room, bar, and cozy lounge with library are on the Main Deck, which is also the boarding area and marina.

 

An authentic, immersive experience in the Galàpagos

National Geographic Delfina provides an authentic sense of place in these legendary islands informed by decades working closely with local communities and conservation groups. Contributing to the fully immersive experience on board are the Ecuadorian officers and crew, as well as the locally sourced and sustainable farm-to-table and ocean-to-table culinary ingredients you’ll enjoy at every meal. You will travel with a veteran Expedition Leader and National Geographic certified photo instructor, both licensed naturalists who will guide you on all your adventures in the Galápagos National Park and Marine Reserve.

 

As the home base for our classic 10-day voyage, National Geographic Delfina departs Fridays year-round, with an included night in Quito or Guayaquil before and after the voyage. Embark Saturday for a full week exploring the Galápagos Islands.

Available as a private charter, the ship is perfectly sized for a group of family and friends, or your organization.
