National Geographic Delfina
Intimate Exploration, Galápagos-First
The National Geographic Delfina is purpose-built for travelers who want to experience the Galápagos Islands as they were meant to be explored: slowly, responsibly, and with expert context. Carrying just 16 guests, this sleek catamaran offers a highly personal alternative to larger expedition ships—without sacrificing access, insight, or comfort.
Days aboard Delfina revolve around wildlife encounters and active exploration. Twice-daily shore landings and snorkeling excursions bring guests face-to-face with giant tortoises, marine iguanas, sea lions, and nesting seabirds, while National Geographic–certified naturalists provide depth and meaning to every encounter. Because of the vessel’s small size, landings are efficient, group sizes are minimal, and time ashore feels unhurried.
Life onboard is simple and relaxed. Cabins are comfortable and well-appointed, public spaces are open and social, and the atmosphere is intentionally casual—focused on the destination rather than onboard spectacle. Meals are served communally, fostering conversation and shared discovery after full days in the field.
For travelers who prioritize nature, education, and access over luxury trappings, the National Geographic Delfina delivers one of the most authentic and immersive ways to experience the Galápagos.
