Embark on a rare, life-changing experience.
For travelers seeking an unforgettable journey through the Galápagos Islands, Celebrity Cruises combines immersive expedition travel with exceptional comfort and service. The experience centers on Celebrity Flora, a purpose-built, 100-guest, all-suite mega-yacht designed exclusively for these remarkable islands. Expansive windows, outward-facing spaces, and attentive suite service keep the destination at the heart of every day.
A Truly All-Inclusive Expedition
Celebrity includes nearly everything needed to explore the Galápagos comfortably: locally inspired meals, unlimited beverages, Wi-Fi, gratuities, Galápagos National Park fees, daily briefings, and twice-daily guided excursions. Snorkeling equipment, mini-wetsuits, binoculars, and walking sticks are also provided, making it easier to concentrate on the experience rather than the logistics.
Certified Galápagos National Park naturalists lead each adventure, sharing their knowledge of the islands’ wildlife, geology, and ecosystems. Excursions are conducted in small groups of no more than 12 guests, creating a more personal experience as you hike volcanic landscapes, snorkel with sea lions, kayak along pristine coastlines, and encounter giant tortoises, marine iguanas, blue-footed boobies, and other remarkable species.
Choose the Journey That Fits You
Celebrity offers 7-night Inner and Outer Loop cruises, along with more comprehensive 10- and 11-night Galápagos and Quito packages. These longer programs include accommodations in Quito, guided sightseeing, transfers, and round-trip flights between mainland Ecuador and the Galápagos. Travelers seeking an even greater South American adventure can choose a 16-night Galápagos and Machu Picchu package, combining the islands with Lima, the Sacred Valley, Cusco, and Machu Picchu.
Exploration Without Sacrificing Comfort
After each day’s adventures, return to spacious suite accommodations, personalized service, and cuisine created with locally sourced ingredients, including Ecuadorian coffee and fresh seafood. Guests can also choose an optional Galápagos glamping experience aboard Celebrity Flora, featuring stargazing with the naturalists and a private breakfast the following morning.
Thoughtful Travel in a Delicate Environment
Celebrity Flora incorporates features designed to reduce its environmental footprint, including dynamic positioning that helps protect the seabed, solar panels, fuel-efficient hull technology, and the elimination of single-use plastics. Celebrity also supports local sourcing and conservation initiatives, including the restoration of native Scalesia trees.
With Celebrity Cruises, the Galápagos becomes more than a wildlife vacation. It is an expertly guided, deeply immersive journey through one of the world’s most extraordinary natural environments—with the comfort, inclusions, and thoughtful service that make a true expedition feel remarkably seamless.
