Celebrity Cruises has opened bookings for its award-winning Galapagos Expeditions on Celebrity Flora for 2027.
Each 7-night, 10-night, 11-night or 16-night all-inclusive itinerary offers guests an unforgettable holiday experience while providing an opportunity to contribute to conservation efforts by taking part in reforestation in the region.
The Galapagos is the centre of attention at every turn on Celebrity Flora, an exclusive, 100-passenger mega-yacht designed specifically and purposefully for sailing in the region. Guests enjoy best-in-class, all-inclusive accommodations, elevated culinary offerings, and Celebrity Cruises’ award-winning hospitality. Itineraries led by Galapagos National Park expert naturalists immerse guests in the destination each day, as they take in the breathtaking nature and wildlife of the diverse volcanic island archipelago. On every Celebrity Flora sailing, travellers can look forward to once-in-a-lifetime experiences–from glamping under the stars on board, to snorkelling with sea lions, kayaking with sea turtles, coastal explorations along volcanic cliffs and guided tours with giant tortoises.
Recognising the significance of sustaining the Galapagos Archipelago for present and future generations to appreciate, Celebrity Cruises proudly celebrated a significant milestone in its ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship and conservation in the region. Partnering with the Galapagos National Park since 2014, Celebrity Cruises marked a decade of progress on its Scalesia reforestation project. The successful project, now referred to as the “Rewilding Galapagos” initiative, invites guests to help restore the natural habitats of the Galapagos Islands and protect endangered wildlife throughout the region. On each itinerary, Celebrity Flora guests visit the reforestation area with Galapagos Park Rangers and naturalist guides to plant seedlings.
Celebrity Cruises is the only tour operator partnering with the Galapagos National Park to carry out such a project and has planted more than 85,000 endemic plant species to date, reaffirming its dedication and vision for the restoration of the islands’ natural ecosystems. To commemorate the 10-year milestone, representatives and park rangers from the Galapagos National Park, as well as naturalists and guests travelling aboard Celebrity Flora participated in a special Scalesia tree planting event.
“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,” Celebrity Cruises president, Laura Hodges Bethge, said. “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.”
Established in 2005, the Celebrity Cruises Galapagos Fund has supported local conservation efforts through the restoration of the islands’ ecosystems and local community projects. The newly renovated Hernan Carrion Nursery, sponsored by Celebrity Cruises, grows all the native plants used for reforestation efforts in the Galapagos. Over the past decade, guests have helped to restore more than 60 acres and support the incredibly biodiverse habitats that are home to iconic plant and animal species.
Driven by a mission to deliver the best holiday responsibly, Celebrity Cruises is championing a broader commitment to SEA the Future by sustaining the planet, energising communities, and accelerating innovation.
