A SLEEK, TWIN-HULLED CATAMARAN

A sleek, twin-hulled catamaran, Elite is one of the most modern, comfortable and stable small ships exploring Darwin’s enchanted islands.

Elite is an all-suite catamaran with capacity for up to sixteen guests. Suites are split between the main-deck and upper-deck and measure approximately 35m2. Beds can be setup as a king or twin and each cabin has a private balcony, which is accessed through floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors.

Air-conditioning and modern en suite bathrooms are found in each cabin and on the main-deck two of the suites can be interconnecting, making them ideal for families. There is one single cabin on the upper-deck, which although smaller, has all the facilities that the other suites have, including its own private balcony. The single cabin accommodates additional travellers who are part of odd-numbered groups and families and no single supplement applies. Please note this cabin is not available for solo passengers.

When not on excursions, guests can enjoy 180-degree views from the panoramic lounge or in the Jacuzzi or on a sun lounger on the sky deck. Elite’s larger than average size, means there is ample space so guest can always enjoy some privacy, whilst enjoying the breath-taking scenery.

Special dietary requirements are never a problem for the chefs on board and whenever possible, meals are made using fresh and locally sourced ingredients from the islands. A delicious buffet breakfast and lunch is available each day and a more elegant sit-down meal is served at dinner. When weather permits, guests are invited to eat on the sky deck and enjoy the beautiful surrounds and noises which accompany a day in the Galapagos.

“THREE HOLIDAYS IN AND STILL HIGHLY RECOMMEDED”
Dan Mills organised perfectly a challenging itinerary to incorporate a wedding we were attending in Kathmandu. A fantastic balance of trekking, rafting, safari, sightseeing and R&R. This was our third holiday with Ultimate Travel and we cannot recommend highly enough
Testimonial 4
“FLAWLESS, AGAIN”
This is the third time I’ve used TUTC. The service, as before, was flawless. Aside from putting in place all the major details of a complex trip to Japan, Dan at TUTC nailed every detail: train tickets were for seats with large luggage space (very important in Japan, as we discovered); a mobile internet wifi was included; together with a pre-charged use-pretty-much-anywhere travel card (again, important – Japan has multiple transport companies). For any kind of complex trip I won’t go anywhere else.

“FABULOUS FIRST VISIT TO SOUTH AFRICA”
Excellent advice received regarding our first trip to South Africa. We were given very personalised recommendations based on what we hoped to experience during our holiday, and the suggested lodges were absolutely fabulous. All transfers ran like clockwork, with polite and friendly drivers. From the beautifully printed, detailed itinerary to the elegant document case, luggage tags, and the informative app, every detail contributed to a sense of luxurious, premium service.
