The Wonder of the Galápagos Islands

Picture yourself sailing through one of the most extraordinary places on Earth with Celebrity Cruises.
Sailing the Galápagos Islands with Celebrity Cruises is an experience that marries immersion in one of the world’s greatest untouched regions with the eco-luxury and pampering of the purpose-built 100-guest all-suite mega-yacht Celebrity Flora. You’ll be drawn into this world of pristine natural beauty with incomparable access and exclusivity by expert naturalists and return each day to an elevated sanctuary that only Celebrity can provide.

Immersive Twice-Daily Excursions
Each day magically unfolds differently, guided by nature itself, and effortlessly orchestrated as you head off on custom-designed tenders to get up-close to incredible flora and fauna each morning and afternoon. Kayak alongside sea turtles in the morning, while a guided hike along volcanic landscapes or snorkeling in the Galápagos waters in the afternoon offer opportunities to encounter more wildlife in their natural habitat. You’ll have spectacular opportunities to view sunning marine iguanas, colonies of blue-footed boobies, playful sea lions, and more. Each night, hear about the adventures to come the next day before unwinding under the stars on deck, revisiting in your mind all that you’ve experienced so far. And with Celebrity, you know that you are traveling responsibly with voyages that are thoughtfully designed for this extraordinary destination.

Celebrity Flora: Thoughtful by Design
Return from your intimate daily wildlife encounters to awaiting champagne while you rest and rejuvenate looking out among impressive views amidst lovely public spaces or your own impeccable suite onboard Celebrity Flora. While far removed from the everyday world, you will be treated to exceptional service by the staff onboard, further enhancing your remarkable journey in this incomparable region. Each suite has its own personal suite attendant available to help you unpack when you arrive, attend to your preferences throughout the voyage, and ensure your minibar is filled with your favorites. Sample en-suite chocolates and bathroom products that are sourced locally from Ecuador.
