Galapagos Islands Cruises

Galapagos Cruises… Revel In Splendid Isolation

Our Galapagos cruises will take you away from your everyday world to the natural wonders of the Galapagos Islands, off the coast of Ecuador. An archipelago so isolated that over 1,900 of its creatures can’t be found anywhere else on Earth. So isolated, in fact, that Celebrity is the only major cruise line to offer luxury Galapagos cruises.

Join us and explore in style the exotic haven of fauna and flora that inspired Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution. And travel with our naturalist guides to see giant Galapagos tortoises, sea turtles, and iguanas in their natural habitat. Galapagos cruises are truly a one in a lifetime experience that will stay with you forever.

Galapagos Cruise Highlights

Dragon Hill, Santa Cruz

One of the newest visitor sites to the Galapagos Islands, Isla Santa Cruz’s Dragon Hill is home to a community of nesting Land Iguanas from which the site takes its name. Stroll off your luxury Galapagos cruise and discover a hypersalinic lagoon, a favourite spot for flamingos, common stilts, pintail ducks and other fascinating bird species.

Any budding wildlife photographers should have their cameras to hand, as the fauna here doesn’t seem to mind posing for snaps.

Punta Espinoza, Fernandina

You’ll be instantly mesmerised as your Galapagos cruise pulls up to Isla Fernandina with penguins leaping from the rocks and into the water. It’s an enchanting sight that sums up the excitement of dropping anchor at Punta Espinoza. The wildlife here is guaranteed to be like none that you’ve ever seen before, with colourful Sally Lightfoot crabs dancing across the rocks and sandpipers wading in the mangroves.

The main attraction here are the colonies of Marine Iguanas, which congregate more here than on any of the other islands in the Galapagos. The iguanas are everywhere, so it’s impossible to resist getting out the camera and take a quick snapshot of one.

When you reboard your Galapagos cruise you’ll be able to witness a rare sight at close range – watching the Marine Iguanas feeding underwater.

North Seymour, Galapagos

One of the essential ports of call on your inimitable Galapagos cruise is at North Seymour Island, where a large population of bloated-breasted frigate birds call home. Adding another splash of natural colour to the proceedings are the mischievous Blue-footed Boobies, who you’ll definitely want to take a commemorative snap of.

Rounding out the wildlife community are the sea lions, whose playful nature and adorable pups have made them one of the iconic residents of the Galapagos. Meanwhile, the marine marvels on offer include the green sea turtle and hammerhead shark. However, you spend your time on North Seymour, as you cruise away from the island you’ll undeniably feel richer for the experience.
