Come with us on a journey of a lifetime!
The astonishing thing about the Galápagos is how each island is truly "nature's laboratory". Celebrity Xpedition offers 7 night itineraries cruising the waters of the Galápagos, and going ashore each day to behold the natural wonders of these islands. Each step is a journey into the unknown. Embarking from Baltra Celebrity Xpedition calls on extraordinary islands, as a fascinating world unfolds before you.
Celebrity Xpedition itineraries can take you to nine different islands and 12 destinations. The Galápagos is a place of contrasts and contradictions. From graceful flamingos feeding in peaceful lagoons, to the prehistoric-looking marine iguanas that Charles Darwin called "imps of darkness". From towering cliffs rising precipitously from the sea, to lovely red and white coral sand beaches. New experiences at every turn.
Our expert, Galapagos National Park certified guides will offer you the best of the islands, which vary enormously in size, shape and wildlife.
North Seymour, where you'll be greeted by the colony of frigate, red pouch males, females and chicks. Post office, walking by trails of mangroves we find also lagoons with flamingos and finches. Sea lions and schools of tropical endemic fish. Cerro Dragon, giant land iguanas. On the small island of Rábida, you will find nine species of Darwin's finches. There is also a red sand beach loaded with graceful sea lions and snorkeling to enjoy the underwater paradise. On Isabela, the largest of the islands, five large volcanoes and you will be within touching distance of huge colonies of blue footed boobies. On Santa Cruz, you will find the Charles Darwin Research Station, where giant tortoises and iguanas are reared. On Fernandina, a species of penguin found only in the Galápagos, plus flightless cormorants and iguanas. On Bartolomé, moonlike panoramas, dramatic rock formations, lava tubes, and trails of mangroves. And, on Española, sally lightfoot crabs, hood mockingbirds, the lava lizard and every waved albatross on Earth.
Flora, fauna, marine life, geology... Only the Galápagos offers them to you in such rich profusion.
The journey of the lifetime awaits you. Celebrity Xpeditions, where the spoiled meets the unspoiled.
