A Destination. An Adventure. An Experience of a Lifetime.

You'll always remember the islands that time forgot. In the Galapagos, modern explorers come eye to eye with ancient tortoises, comical birds, and other amazing beasts—plus landscapes as fantastical as the animals—for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

For seven glorious days,  follow in the footsteps of Darwin, viewing this realm through the eyes of certified naturalists, making discoveries on shore excursions—two per day included—in small groups of travelers who share your interests.

Each evening, you'll come home to the 100-guest, star rated luxurious Flora, the popular 48-guest Celebrity Xpedition or intimate 16 guest Xploration.  Everything you want or need will be included—stunning accommodations, inspired food and drink, unlimited Wi-Fi—all delivered with superlative service.

Open your world even wider with all-inclusive 10, 11 or 16 night packages that include exploring lofty Quito, the capital of Ecuador; complete with air transfers, five-star accommodations, and tours.

Three Great Reasons To Visit Galapagos

Picture

The Flora

While the animals of the Galapagos Islands get the glory, the evolution and adaptation of plant life here is equally important. Check out the beautiful lava Cactus, which only grows on barren lava fields. The Prickly Pear Cactus found only on these islands. And, the magnificent Scalesia, which grows up to sixty feet tall.

The Fauna

Since the animals here don’t fear humans, you can truly get up close and personal, looking into the eyes of a Galapagos marine iguana, and walking among penguins – the only penguin species north of the equator. Here, you’ll discover creatures whose very existence forms the basis for one of the most famous scientific theories in history.

The Adventure

Nature lovers flock to this exotic terrain born of fire. Once, volcanos spat and lava flowed, creating an archipelago of 19 islands with a marine reserve that
serve as a living museum of evolution. Extreme
isolation and the convergence of three ocean
​currents developed the most unusual wildlife.
Galapagos is a year round destination.  There is really no optimum time to visit, as different times bring different experiences.  June marks the beginning of the cooler and dry season.  While specific sightings can't be guaranteed, wildlife remains prolific.  Seabirds are quite active and penguins are enjoying the cooler waters and plentiful fish, giant tortoises are seeking nesting places.  This is also the time when you can see many red pouches by males of Magnificent Frigatebirds on North Seymour.
