M/C Endemic

All 115 feet of the vessel is chic and streamline, beginning with the Sky Deck, where you'll doze on striped loungers and soak in the hexagonal Jacuzzi, to the bar with its comfy low-slung tables and al fresco barbecues. The lounge, which features slate-grey couches, eye-catching paintings and an expanse of windows, is where you'll have your daily briefings, and just next door is the dining room, serving a varied menu of local and international fare.

The M/C Endemic boasts eight luxury cabins, decked out with wood panelling, white linens, and sky-blue textiles. Each room has French windows opening onto a private balcony with a small seating area - and the most glorious views. The beds are King-size or twin, and all rooms have a sofa bed for children under 12. For families, the upper deck suites can be easily connected as well. Amenities include a hairdryer, satellite TV, minibar and plenty of hanging space.

The M/C Endemic explores the north, west, south and east of the Galapagos. Along the way, you'll have the chance to snorkel in increasingly beautiful locations, from the lively waters of Kicker Rock where sea lions, turtles and sharks are your companions, to the azure waters of Gardner Bay. During land stops, there are hikes across volcanic terrain, incredible birdlife to spot (blue-footed boobies and dazzling flycatchers are just a couple of names...) and visits to the Charles Darwin Research Centre, where giant tortoises roam.
