Highlights

Unlike anything else afloat – Eminence introduces an entirely new concept to the Galápagos, combining striking contemporary design with exceptional space and genuinely innovative engineering.
Suites that redefine expectations – Duplex Loft Suites, panoramic View Suites with private Jacuzzis and expansive terraces offer some of the most impressive accommodation in the archipelago.
Wellness at sea – A panoramic spa, infrared sauna, gym, wellness spaces and generous outdoor Jacuzzi create a level of relaxation rarely found on expedition vessels.
Technology with purpose – From intelligent water management and solar power to carbon-neutral operations, sustainability has been engineered into every aspect of the yacht.
Designed around the destination – Panoramic glazing, outdoor living spaces and uninterrupted sightlines ensure the Galápagos remain the focus wherever you are onboard.
A new benchmark for luxury – Carrying just 16 guests across nine suites, Eminence offers more personal space per guest than any other vessel currently planned for the Galápagos.

Good to know

How to get there

Eminence operates itineraries beginning at either Baltra or San Cristóbal. After flying from Quito or Guayaquil, you will be met at the airport and transferred to the embarkation point. The first wildlife visit often takes place that same afternoon, so the journey moves quickly from airport formalities to exploring the islands.

Are children welcome?

Yes. Eminence welcomes families and private charters. The spacious suites, flexible accommodation and extensive onboard facilities make her particularly well suited to multigenerational groups looking for an exclusive Galápagos experience.

Giving back

Eminence has been designed from the ground up to become one of the most sustainable luxury yachts in the Galápagos. Solar panels provide power to key onboard systems, while intelligent monitoring technology helps reduce water and energy consumption throughout every voyage.

The yacht incorporates separate treatment systems for black, grey and oily water, along with water filtration and reuse technology for the onboard Jacuzzis. Lightweight construction improves fuel efficiency, while advanced engineering reduces the overall environmental footprint without compromising comfort.

Beyond the yacht itself, the operating company has committed to achieving certified carbon neutrality within Eminence’s first year of operation. Local employment, community investment, responsible procurement and ongoing conservation initiatives all form part of a wider philosophy that luxury travel should actively contribute to protecting both the Galápagos and the people who call the islands home.

Why we love Eminence

Most new yachts simply improve on what’s already there. Eminence takes a different approach. From the duplex Loft Suites and panoramic spa to the intelligent sustainability systems hidden beneath the surface, every element has been rethought from first principles.
