Choose Monique for her cutting-edge sustainability, panoramic views and spacious accommodations. As one of the newest catamarans in the Galapagos, the Monique embodies a modern approach to upscale exploration. Its design prioritizes ultimate comfort and safety across its three spacious decks.
Her panoramic spaces are designed to allow guests to connect with the natural beauty of the Galapagos. With three spacious decks, Monique provides the ideal setting for just 16 guests to experience the surrounding landscapes in comfort.
Monique integrates cutting-edge sustainable technologies, being powered by 20 solar panels and 5 lithium battery systems. This minimizes her environmental impact while upholding the highest standards of upscale cruising. Guests benefit from premium logistics and smooth sailing, with every element designed for both efficiency and indulgence.
Designed by Golden Galapagos Cruises, an Ecuadorian operator with over two decades in the Ecuador and Galapagos travel industry, the 2026-built M/C Monique in Galapagos features a stunning panoramic concept. Guests can spot wildlife from almost anywhere on board, ensuring a superior experience aboard this trendsetting mega yacht. Another selling point is the complimentary WiFi on board.
Dining & Bars
Culinary experiences aboard Monique include epicurean cuisine prepared by expert chefs using locally sourced ingredients. While breakfast and lunch are served buffet-style, dinner is a sit-down affair enjoyed al fresco on the Sky Deck.
Indoor Common Areas
The Main Deck includes a front observation platform, four golden double staterooms, an indoor dining area, and a spacious lounge with panoramic views. The Upper Deck features a shaded terrace for landscape observation, a sun terrace at the bow, and four additional golden double staterooms offering stunning vistas. The Sky Deck is the perfect space for relaxation, complete with an outdoor lounge, al-fresco dining area, Whirlpool, leisure space, and a bar for enjoying drinks and light bites while soaking in the views.
A nearly 1:1 crew-to-guest ratio ensures tailored attention throughout the voyage, with two English-speaking guides aboard and a dedicated Cruise Service Officer available to assist with every detail of your experience.
Aboard the Monique, the focus has been placed on maximizing the interior space and comfort of the cabins. This strategic decision was made to cater to guests who prioritize roominess and comfort over private balconies. All cabins on board are Golden Staterooms, with a total of 8 double suites: 4 located on the Main Deck and 4 on the Upper Deck. These rooms feature convertible beds, which can be set up as either one king-size or two twin beds. Monique accommodates a total of 16 guests, but also offers a single cabin on the Main Deck, available without a single supplement, for odd-numbered families or small groups.
