The National Geographic Delfina is the crown jewel of intimate expedition cruising — a sleek, boutique catamaran built for only 16 guests, designed to deliver an immersive and luxurious voyage through the legendary Galápagos Islands. From her panoramic observation deck to her polished staterooms, this vessel sets the tone for discovery, elegance, and purposeful travel.
National Geographic Delfina Suites
On-board the National Geographic Delfina, you’ll find eight beautifully appointed, ocean-facing staterooms:
- four on the Upper Deck (Category 4)
- four on the Main Deck (Category 5).
Each is approximately 172 ft², with convertible queen or twin bedding and ensuite bathrooms. The Main Deck cabins include private balconies of about 43 ft², offering uninterrupted views of the sea and surrounding islands.
The staterooms feature air-conditioning, polished wood décor, large windows, flexible bedding, and modern amenities such as flat-screen TVs and in-room WiFi. For larger groups or families, the Upper Deck staterooms can interconnect port and starboard to create a shared configuration. Every detail of the suite design ensures that guests enjoy both comfort and connection with the natural world outside their windows.
