Come join us on a part of the planet where few have trod before. Where nearly half of the species are found nowhere else in the world. An area so remote that its nearest neighbor, Ecuador, is 600 miles away. Welcome to the islands of the Galapagos and an experience so singular that, among the premium cruiselines, only Celebrity can bring it to you.

The Galapagos are an incredibly young version of Hawaii, bleak looking at first and encrusted with striations and pockets placed against a turquoise sea. Traveling back in time from the lush Polynesian islands, you see the formation of plant life and, looking more carefully at the rugged cliffs, it becomes clear that they are teeming with life on foot, fin and wing, as well as root. Every fold, crevice and hole, every peak and wave is fluttering with boobies and pelicans, and with seals draped over rocks, peeking from crevices, flopped on beaches and body surfing both in and on the waves.

In the Galapagos’ unique ecosystem, penguins and seals share the spotlight with tortoises and cacti. Blue- and red-footed boobies with absurdly brilliant turquoise and scarlet feet dance a mating ritual that looks like the old black and white pre-war cartoons, and nocturnal swallowtail gulls find their offspring’s waiting beaks marked by each one’s brilliant white spot.
