Adventure Cruises to the Galápagos

Why the Galápagos?
Around 1,000 kilometres off the coast of Ecuador, the Galápagos Islands are one of the most remarkable places on earth. These volcanic islands inspired Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution, and many of the animals you’ll meet here are found nowhere else. Marine iguanas bask on black lava rocks, frigatebirds puff out their red throats and Galápagos penguins dart through the water beside you.

Small ship, big adventure
Sailings are on Celebrity Flora, a small, all-suite ship built for the Galápagos and carrying just 100 guests. Its small size lets it reach landing sites big ships can’t, with no crowds and plenty of time ashore. You’ll explore with expert naturalist guides, travelling by Zodiac boat to beaches and trails, then return to a comfortable suite, fine dining and views of the islands from every deck.

A typical day on a Galápagos cruise
Mornings might start with a guided walk across a volcanic landscape or a beach landing among sea lions. After lunch on board, head out again to snorkel in clear water, kayak along the coast or ride a Zodiac past cliffs full of seabirds. Evenings bring briefings on the next day’s islands, dinner and the chance to share what you’ve seen.

When to visit the Galápagos
The Galápagos is a year-round destination. From December to May the sea is warmer and calmer, making it ideal for snorkelling. From June to November cooler currents bring more marine life and seabird activity. Whenever you go, wildlife encounters are guaranteed.
