Celebrity Cruises says that travellers who have waited more than 15 months to experience the wonders of the world set sail yesterday in the breath-taking Galapagos Islands aboard the luxurious, state-of-the-art mega yacht, Celebrity Flora, the first of the new-luxury brand’s three ships to resume sailing the extraordinary archipelago, with guests will be treated to a curated seven-night itinerary through a world unlike any other.
The sailing will be shortly followed by the award-winning Celebrity Xpedition on 24 July and the intimate 16-guest Celebrity Xploration on 18 September, with both exploring the Galapagos with Northern and Southern Loop itineraries, with Celebrity saying both offering ultimate individual indulgences.
Celebrity Cruises President and CEO Lisa Lutoff-Perlo said, “The Galapagos Islands are a treasure and a destination that is incomparable to any other in the world”, adding, “We couldn’t be more excited to welcome guests aboard the most special ship in this region for the very special, bucket-list voyage they have been dreaming of for so many months”.
Celebrity says that combining unparalleled luxury and specular vistas, Celebrity Flora was built specifically to navigate the waters of this natural paradise, inspired by the islands and built with a variety of natural materials, along with the latest environmental technologies, the ship merges seamlessly with its surroundings and to fully immerse travellers in this extraordinary landscape, certified naturalists from the Galápagos National Park are on board to guide the journey.
They added that in this extraordinary destination, unique experiences abound, from hiking otherworldly volcanic landscapes to snorkelling alongside sea turtles in their natural habitat and guests can also partake in twice-daily shore excursions guided by Galapagos National Park certified naturalists or stay onboard to relax and be treated to locally-sourced cuisine crafted by a Michelin-starred chef.
All Celebrity ships will sail with a vaccinated crew.
