The Celebrity Flora, a 100-passenger mega-yacht designed specifically for Galapagos cruising, gives travelers an all-inclusive experience with top-tier accommodations and culinary offerings. Itineraries range from 7 to 16 nights, each led by expert Galapagos National Park naturalists who guide guests through the diverse volcanic islands.

“We have the privilege of connecting our guests with some of the most pristine destinations on our planet and understand that we need to play a role in maintaining the health of these delicate ecosystems,” said Laura Hodges Bethge, president of Celebrity Cruises. “In the Galapagos Islands, we are very proud of our long-standing partnership and will continue to work closely to support education and conservation projects that promote the preservation of this natural marvel for future generations.”

Daily activities immerse travelers in the unique ecosystem of the Galapagos. Guests can snorkel alongside sea lions, kayak with sea turtles, explore volcanic cliffs and encounter giant tortoises. For a truly exceptional experience, the ship offers on-board glamping under the stars.

Celebrity Partnership

Celebrity Cruises’ commitment to environmental stewardship in the Galapagos reached a significant milestone in 2024, marking a decade of partnership with the Galapagos National Park on the Scalesia reforestation project. Now known as the “Rewilding Galapagos” initiative, this conservation effort invites guests to actively participate in restoring the islands’ natural habitats.

Flora passengers visit the reforestation area during each voyage with park rangers and naturalist guides to plant seedlings. To date, the project has successfully planted over 85,000 endemic plant species across more than 60 acres, supporting the region’s rich biodiversity.

The cruise line’s dedication to the Galapagos extends beyond reforestation. Since 2005, the Celebrity Cruises Galapagos Fund has supported various local conservation efforts and community projects. The company also sponsors the Hernan Carrion Nursery, which grows all the native plants used in the reforestation initiative.

Travelers booking 2027 Galapagos expeditions before May 1, 2025, can take advantage of a 50 percent discount for the second guest in their stateroom. Additionally, those booking with Flights by Celebrity can enjoy complimentary airfare from the United States or Canada to the Galapagos, up to $750 per person.
