Galapagos Cruises

by Celebrity Cruises

Unrivaled flora and fauna await you in the Galapagos Islands, a destination that helped to shape one of the world's leading scientific doctrines. Just 600 miles off the western coast of Ecuador, this cluster of islands offers an abundance of riches to explore. You won't see the same distribution of wildlife on any two islands, and each has its own history, both geologic and otherwise.

Choosing a Galapagos Vacation

Celebrity Cruises offers the most diverse Galapagos expeditions available with six 7-night cruise itineraries, including multiple islands and ports of call, as well as all-inclusive vacation packages ranging from 10 to 16 nights. By far, the most popular is the 10-night package, which includes 3 nights in Quito and 7 nights cruising the islands. Next is the 11-night package, the same as the 10-night, but with 1 extra night to relax in Quito after the cruise. Finally, if you want to include Peru, with Machu Picchu, the 16-night package is an amazing vacation.

What about the 7-night cruises? This is the cruise only, so you'll need to book an Ecuador main-land hotel, airport transfers and your round trip flights to and from the islands. The 10, 11 and 16 night packages that include accommodations & tours in Quito are much more inclusive and convenient with all arrangements taken care of for you. Plus, Quito is a beautiful UNESCO World Heritage Site that really shouldn't be missed. And, who doesn't want to straddle the equator - one foot in each hemisphere?

North Loop or South Loop? These two itineraries (also known as Inner & Outer Loop) are arranged to meet the strict visitation requirements of the Galapagos Islands National Park. They offer the same level of wildlife viewing, snorkeling and hiking opportunities regardless of the itinerary you choose. Unless there's a specific island you want to visit, don't worry about the itinerary. Select the one that provides the best availability and matches your schedule.

Which Ship - Flora, Xpedition or the Xploration? Celebrity Flora, which launched in 2019, is the first ship of its kind to be built especially for the Galapagos Islands. This 100 passenger all-suite mega-yacht features an innovative outward-facing concept-designed to ensure the destination remains the center of attention during your sailing. Celebrity Xpedition is a state-of-the-art, spacious 48-passenger vessel that first put Celebrity on the map in the Galapagos. Recent upgrades to this game-changing vessel added even more luxury, without sacrificing an ounce of authenticity. Celebrity Xploration is a 16-passenger catamaran that's perfect for family get-togethers, getaways with friends, or small groups who want to explore together. Imagine visiting the same islands Charles Darwin did on your very own private vessel.
