UNTOUCHED Blue-footed booby
UNSPOILED
UNBELIEVABLE

Located 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador, this
archipelago of unspoiled, isolated islands will
welcome you with its rugged charms and
evolutionary wonders. Consisting of 19 islands
and 42 islets that all rose from the sea as the
product of volcanic eruptions, these islands are
between 3 million and 4 million years old.

Completely oceanic—meaning they’ve never
been connected to the mainland—the
Galapagos Islands are truly a world apart.
Settlers have carved out their lives on the lava
rocks, pirates have profited, and scientists have
explored. The history of the Galapagos is rich
and diverse, with tales of basic survival and
extraordinary discovery. For almost any modern
adventurer, a journey through time to the
Galapagos is a dream vacation.

never intrusive—service. Our array of luxurious
accommodations has been artfully created to make your stay
warm and welcoming throughout the Galapagos Islands.

This extends to our entire fleet: the luxurious Celebrity Flora®,
first vessel of its type designed especially for these islands;
the iconic Celebrity Xpedition®, a mega yacht with modern

THERE’S
A DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN VISITING
AND EXPERIENCING

Simply landing on a beautiful island is one thing. Getting to
know its science, history, and secrets is quite another. These
are the kinds of in-depth experiences our naturalist guides
create just for you. They're some of the best in the Galapagos.
Experts in everything from science to history, they've spent
years on these fascinating islands, and many were raised in
the region. They'll give you not only a unique view from an
ecologic and geologic perspective but also a personal view
of what it's like to grow up in such a special place.
