Overview

Celebrity Cruises is the most well-known international operator in the Galapagos Islands. The Celebrity Xploration Galapagos cruise is the most intimate experience of their three yachts, offering first-class service to just 16 guests onboard the Catamaran.

Guests will meet in the lounge bar on the weather deck for briefings and lectures, where they will also find digital entertainment and full bar service. The sundeck is where you will stargaze, whale-watch, relax in the jacuzzi, or just catch some rays.

Celebrity Cruises’ “Always Included” applies to this sailing; with gratuities, internet, and beverages already in the fare.

If you need space for a larger group, or like larger ships, you can look at the 48-guest Celebrity Xpedition and the 100-guest Celebrity Flora. Celebrity offers seamless cruise extensions which include extra days exploring the Andes, or a trip to Peru to visit Lima, Cuzco, and Machu Picchu.
