Galapagos

Many destinations promise visitors the chance to "step back into history." A Celebrity Xpeditions to the Galapagos Islands perhaps best exemplifies that promise, as we take you to a destination that helped to shape one of the world's leading scientific doctrines. They are known as the inspiration for Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, this cluster of islands is so isolated that many of its creatures cannot be found anywhere else on earth. From the giant tortoises that bear the Galapagos name, to the marine iguanas and "Darwin" finches, the Galapagos islands afford visitors the chance to observe a living laboratory of adaptation. Celebrity Cruises provide guests with this rare, up-close experience with the smallest possible environmental impact to these precious shores.

Ports and Cities

On your extraordinary Galapagos journey, start with the sights of Quito, take in the views from the famed Pinnacle Rock or trek the lava flows of Isla Fernandina. You'll want to have your cameras ready at all times in the Galapagos because it's unlikely you'll ever meet anyone who has witnessed the species you will photograph. Whether it's the extravagant colony of Frigate birds on North Seymour, or the blue-footed boobies, sea lions or red marine iguanas of the five million year old Española Island, the wildlife of the Galapagos are unlike any other in the world.

Ship

Aboard Celebrity Cruises, getting to the islands is almost as singular an experience as the Galapagos themselves. At 17 knots, you'll sail Celebrity Xpedition, into the fabled waters of the Galapagos.
