The Celebrity Flora is a luxury mega-yacht built specifically to navigate the waters of the Galapagos. The ship was built with natural materials, including the latest environmental technologies. Certified naturalists from the Galápagos National Park are on board to guide the journey.
Celebrity Xpedition and Celebrity Xploration will explore the Galapagos with Northern and Southern Loop itineraries.
Among the activities, guests can hike in volcanic landscapes and snorkel alongside sea turtles in their natural habitat. Twice-daily shore excursions guided by Galapagos National Park-certified naturalists are offered.
Celebrity Cruises sailings include unlimited Wi-Fi, drinks, and tips; vacation packages add luxury hotel stays and flights between Ecuador and the islands. For more information, click here.
