Celebrity Cruises’ 2028 Galapagos expeditions on the Forbes Travel Guide-rated Celebrity Flora have opened for booking.
The 2028 season includes more than 50 all-inclusive sailings. Activities include snorkeling with sea lions, kayaking with sea turtles, exploring coastal cliffs, observing giant tortoises and more. The itineraries, led by Galapagos National Park expert naturalists, will immerse guests in the destination each day as they take in the nature and wildlife of the diverse island archipelago.
An exclusive, 100-passenger mega-yacht, Celebrity Flora is designed specifically and purposefully for sailing in the Galapagos. Guests enjoy all-inclusive accommodations, elevated culinary offerings, and one-of-a-kind experiences, such as glamping on board under the stars. On seven-night, 10-night, 11-night or 16-night itineraries, guests can explore the Galapagos on outer loop and inner loop sailings, while extended experiences include opportunities to explore Quito, Ecuador, as well as Lima, Cusco, Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu in Peru.
“The Galapagos is one of the most extraordinary places on Earth, and we are privileged to offer our guests an elevated and intimate way to explore the region on the award-winning Celebrity Flora,” Laura Hodges Bethge, president of Celebrity Cruises, said in a statement. “Beyond delivering once‑in‑a‑lifetime experiences, we are also committed to supporting the long‑term conservation of these remarkable islands through our sustainability initiatives and community projects.”
In partnership with Galapagos National Park, Celebrity Cruises’ “Rewilding Galapagos” initiative invites guests to help restore the natural habitats of the Galapagos Islands and protect endangered wildlife throughout the region. On each itinerary, Celebrity Flora guests visit a Scalesia reforestation area with Galapagos National Park naturalist guides to plant seedlings. To date, guests have helped restore more than 86 acres to support the incredibly biodiverse habitats that are home to iconic plant and animal species. As they sail the region in 2028, the initiative will reach a new milestone, planting 100,000 trees.
The newly renovated Hernán Carrión Nursery, sponsored by the Celebrity Cruises Galapagos Fund, grows all the native plants used for reforestation efforts in the Galapagos. Established in 2005, this fund has supported local conservation efforts through the restoration of the islands’ ecosystems and local community projects. Driven by a mission to deliver vacations responsibly, Celebrity Cruises’ SEA the Future program supports environmental stewardship, community engagement and innovation.
