Celebrity Cruises offers a range of exciting expedition itineraries in the one-of-a-kind Galapagos. This is the only region the cruise line focuses its expedition cruises, with three ships to choose from - Celebrity Flora, Celebrity Xploration and Celebrity Xpedition. Each ship brings guests closer to the islands that time forgot, opening your eyes to endemic flora and fauna; following the guidance of certified naturalists; and making your own discoveries as you explore this untouched realm.
Every Celebrity Cruises expedition sailing includes stunning accommodations, inspired food and drink, unlimited Wi-Fi and two shore excursions included per day. There are even options to expand your holiday with pre- or post-cruise adventures to places such as Machu Picchu high in the Andes Mountains or the charming Cusco alongside the ancient city of the Inca. If you choose to add these to your expedition cruise, all air transfers, five-star accommodations and tours are taken care of (applicable to packages for 10+ nights only.)
The key ship in the Celebrity Cruises' expedition fleet is Celebrity Flora. A brand-new ship for Celebrity Cruises, Celebrity Flora marks an evolutionary turning point in terms of destination focus and ship design for the cruise line. The ship is purpose-built to offer sailings in the Galapagos for up to 100 guests and uses the environment to inspire and influence every decision made for its function and fixtures. Its all-suite accommodations incorporate sustainable and natural materials, while the Dynamic Positioning System enables the ship to revoke the use of an anchor and protect the delicate seabed.
Other ships in the expedition fleet include Celebrity Xploration and Celebrity Xpedition. Celebrity Xploration has been sailing since 2017 and has a capacity of just 16 guests, while Celebrity Xpedition holds 48 guests. Both ships also sail in the Galapagos, with Xpedition being the first from the cruise line to visit here in 2004. The Galapagos is the focal destination of Celebrity Cruises expeditions, having sailed here for 17 years. The cruise line has won countless awards for its cruises to the region including Best Small Ship at the Travel Weekly Awards for three years running. No matter which ship you choose to sail here aboard, Celebrity Cruises can assure you that you will experience a once-in-a-lifetime adventure here.
