Galapagos Islands: Unrivaled flora and fauna await you in the Galapagos Islands. Just 600 miles off the western coast of Ecuador, this cluster of islands offers an abundance of riches to explore. Many destinations promise visitors the chance to "step back into history." A Celebrity Xpeditions^TM to the Galapagos Islands perhaps best exemplifies that promise, you go to a destination that helped to shape one of the world's leading scientific doctrines.

These islands are known as the inspiration for Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, this cluster is so isolated that many of its creatures cannot be found anywhere else on earth. From the giant tortoises that bear the Galapagos name, to the marine iguanas and "Darwin" finches, the islands afford visitors the chance to observe a living laboratory of adaptation. Celebrity Cruises provide guests with this rare, up-close experience with the smallest possible environmental impact to these precious shores.
