Immerse yourself in the Galápagos Islands with Celebrity Cruises.
A Living Museum of Unique Wildlife
As you look to expand your global horizons, experience the enchanted Galápagos Islands aboard Celebrity Flora®. Known for handling every detail while you explore a unique, unfiltered connection with the natural world, Celebrity adventures are defined by unexpected wildlife encounters, seamless service, and authentic discovery. From flights, transfers, meals, beverages, and twice-daily shore excursions, all-inclusive packages ensure the most exceptional wish-list trips.
Few places in the world have remained as unspoiled as the Galápagos Islands; yet expect Celebrity to spoil you wildly when visiting them. The Celebrity Flora® is the first all-suite, 100-guest ship designed exclusively for sailing these islands, and now it’s the first and only resort at sea in the region to receive a Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star Rating. Guests can also opt for the ship that put Celebrity on the map in the Galápagos Islands — the award-winning, 48-guest Celebrity Xpedition®. Alternatively, for the most intimate escape, Celebrity Xploration® is reserved for only 16 guests.
All three ships surround you in creature comforts while bringing you closer to the islands’ extraordinary creatures. With nearly two decades exploring the region, Celebrity is intimately knowledgeable about the best places to see, while delivering the best ways to see them. Spot ancient tortoises and blue-footed boobies in their natural habitat. Hike otherworldly volcanic landscapes. Follow in the footsteps of Darwin and get closer to the natural world than ever before. With all-inclusive activities, adventure is yours for the taking, while shore excursions bring every island to life. One day you’ll hike from white-sand beaches to black lava flows. The next, you’re snorkeling among the sea turtles, marine iguanas, and sea lions.
With unique vacation experiences (from 10 to 16 nights), who says you can’t check off more than one bucket-list adventure on a vacation? Discover Quito, Lima, and the legendary Inca citadel in the Andes, Machu Picchu. Logistics and details are all taken care of, including luxury hotel stays in Quito with transfers, an exclusive direct flight between Ecuador’s mainland and the islands to twice-daily shore excursions guided by Galápagos National Park certified naturalists. Savor locally sourced cuisine from menus crafted by Michelin-starred chefs, while beverage menus span morning lattes to nightcaps. Tips are included, too, and with complimentary unlimited Wi-Fi, you’ll stay connected as you disconnect. Lastly, all the gear you need, from snorkeling equipment to wetsuits and binoculars, is included. Bon voyage!
A Destination. An Adventure. An Experience of a Lifetime.
