Built in 2024, the all-new 38-metre (124-foot) &Beyond Galapagos Explorer is a small luxury expedition yacht designed to reveal the wonders of the Galapagos Islands with unparalleled exclusivity. Accommodating just 12 guests, the Galapagos Explorer boasts an exceptional guest-to-staff ratio, making it one of the most exclusive yachts operating in the archipelago. On board, the yacht features natural materials and rich textures that celebrate local culture, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere with wooden accents and neutral tones throughout. Panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows flood the spacious guest areas with natural light, offering breathtaking views of the Galapagos’ ever-changing landscapes and wildlife. Guests can choose between indoor and outdoor dining and lounge areas, while the uppermost deck’s al fresco sundeck offers a luxurious hot tub and a comfortable lounge area, perfect for relaxation.
Small Ship Cruising: Small cruise vessels range from private yachts carrying as few as 12 guests to expedition ships of around 200. As a rule, the smaller the ship, the closer you get to the landscape and wildlife.
An extraordinary 8-day luxury expedition cruise through the nature and unique wildlife of the Galapagos Islands.
