National Geographic Delfina

Vessel Type: Catamaran

Passenger Capacity: 16

National Geographic Delfina is the newest and most intimate vessel in the Lindblad Expeditions Galápagos fleet, purpose-built to deliver a luxurious and stable cruising experience for just 16 guests. This sleek catamaran began sailing in early 2025 and offers an elegant setting with eight spacious, air-conditioned staterooms featuring warm wood finishes. Perfectly suited for families, friends, or private charters, Delfina operates the classic 10-day voyage year-round, including a pre- and post-cruise stay in either Quito or Guayaquil, with embarkation every Saturday.

Life aboard is unhurried and immersive, with generous public spaces designed to connect guests to the surrounding seascape. The open-air Observation Deck provides panoramic views, a shaded lounge area, and a whirlpool hot tub—ideal for relaxing after a day of adventure. The wrap-around Upper Deck invites al fresco dining and wildlife spotting from both stern and bow. Indoors, the Main Deck houses a welcoming lounge and library, full-service bar, and dining room, making Delfina a refined yet casual home base for discovering the extraordinary Galápagos Islands.
