Day 1 Sun, Nov 30, 2025 Baltra Island, Galapagos Departs at 2:00 pm

During World War II, Baltra served as a U.S. military base protecting the Panama Canal from enemy attack. Now the cactus-strewn landscapes of Baltra are home to the region's main airport.
Your ship departs promptly at 2:00 pm, so we recommend arriving at least 2-3 hours early to smoothly navigate check-in and boarding. All ship amenities are open and ready, so kickstart your vacation with a refreshing drink or a delicious snack.

Day 2 Mon, Dec 1, 2025 Gardner Bay (Espanola) Tendered from 8:00 am - 11:30 am

The beach at Gardner Bay, with its sparkling white sand, offers one of the best places to relax and swim in the Galapagos. It's home to one of the most important colonies of sea lions in the archipelago, and is also a nesting site for sea turtles. Three species of Darwin’s finches and Española mockingbirds may also be seen here.

Day 2 Mon, Dec 1, 2025 Punta Suarez Tendered from 3:00 pm - 6:00 pm

Española is the oldest island in the Galapagos and home to an abundance of wildlife. At Suarez Point, be greeted by a colony of sea lions upon arrival. This area is also home to nearly the entire world population of Waved Albatross—though they're graceful in the air, their clumsy behavior on land is a sight to see. A cliffside hike leads to a natural lava fissure that spews water like a towering geyser.

Day 3 Tue, Dec 2, 2025 Cormorant Point, Floreana Island Tendered from 8:00 am - 11:30 am

Floreana was the first capital of the Galapagos, and where Charles Darwin met the islands' Governor. It's small brackish lagoon is often home to flamingos, stilts, and white-cheeked pintail ducks, and one of its beaches is a highly used nesting site for sea turtles. Check out the green-hued sand where you land.

Day 3 Tue, Dec 2, 2025 Post Office Bay, Floreana Island Tendered from 3:00 pm - 6:00 pm

Rich in history, this site is home to the post office barrel established in about 1793, where pirates, buccaneers, whalers, and others could leave their mail to be picked up by outbound ships. The tradition continues today, as visitors leave addressed postcards in the barrel and sort through left mail to deliver at home.

Day 4 Wed, Dec 3, 2025 Moreno Point, Isabela Island Tendered from 8:00 am - 11:30 am

Along this beautiful rocky shore, a field of hardened black lava flows is pockmarked by shallow pools, which are home to shorebirds and flamingos. The mangrove-lined shore also provides a chance to see marine iguanas, sea turtles, stingrays, sharks, penguins, and the flightless cormorant.

Day 4 Wed, Dec 3, 2025 Urvina Bay, Isabela Island Tendered from 3:00 pm - 6:00 pm

Composed of five coalesced volcanoes, Isabela is the largest island in the Galapagos and the most recently active, the latest eruption having occurred in 2015. Here we will see large land iguanas, finches, and if lucky, a giant tortoise or two. In 1954, the intrusion of magma below one of the island’s volcanoes caused part of the bay to be uplifted some 6 meters, and today we can walk through the remains of what was once a thriving underwater reef.

Day 5 Thu, Dec 4, 2025 Espinoza Point, Fernandina Island Tendered from 8:00 am - 11:30 am

Fernandina is the youngest island in the Galapagos and, as Darwin wrote, it is “covered with immense deluges of black naked lava”. Along with its extraordinary black lava rocks, this point of land hosts the largest colony of marine iguanas in the Archipelago, along with sea lions and a nesting site for flightless cormorants.

Day 5 Thu, Dec 4, 2025 Vicente Roca Point, Isabela Island Tendered from 3:00 pm - 6:00 pm

The half-collapsed remains of an ancient volcano make for a spectacular setting at this site. Awe-inspiring cliffs, blue waters, and wildlife create a zodiac ride to remember as we search for sea turtles, penguins, fur seals, the flightless cormorant, marine iguanas, marine mammals, and the oddly shaped form of the elusive sunfish.

Day 6 Fri, Dec 5, 2025 South Plaza (Santa Cruz Island) Tendered from 8:00 am - 11:30 am

A small uplifted island just off the northeast coast of Santa Cruz. The island's low-lying landscape is covered with colorful saltbush, scrub, and giant prickly pear cactus. A subspecies of land iguana is found on the island in plentiful abundance and sometimes can be seen munching on the cactus. The southern cliffs are steep and rocky, and home to numerous seabirds as well as a bachelor colony of sea lions. Looking down into the clear blue waters, schools of surgeonfish swim by as birds shoot in and out of the holes in the cliff. A short hike and Zodiac ride provide ample opportunity to observe the beauty and wildlife of the island.

Day 6 Fri, Dec 5, 2025 Daphne Major Sightseeing from 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm

Daphne is a satellite volcanic cone located north of Santa Cruz Island. The crater floor is an important breeding site for blue-footed boobies. The cliff shore of the island is home for sea lions, pelicans, blue-footed boobies, and tropical birds which can be observed during the circumnavigation of the island.

Day 6 Fri, Dec 5, 2025 Dragon Hill (Santa Cruz Island) Tendered from 3:00 pm - 6:00 pm

Dragon Hill, or "Cerro Dragon" is named after its population of land iguanas. The site offers a beautiful view of the landscape and two small brackish lagoons where flamingos and other shore birds occasionally feed. Along the trail, we'll cross a beautiful "white forest" of Palo Santo (incense) trees and Galapagos cotton plants. Excursion options include a high-intensity hike with swimming/snorkeling at the beach, high-intensity snorkeling from a zodiac followed by a short walk and a low-intensity Zodiac ride along the coastline with optional dry landing for animal observation.

Day 7 Sat, Dec 6, 2025 Puerto Ayora, Santa Cruz Island Tendered from 8:00 am - 6:00 pm

This is the main population center of the islands, and home to the National Park Service tortoise-breeding center and the Charles Darwin Research Station. You will be able to visit the tortoise-breeding center and walk through the Charles Darwin Research Station.

Day 8 Sun, Dec 7, 2025 Baltra Island, Galapagos Arrives at 7:00 am

During World War II, Baltra served as a U.S. military base protecting the Panama Canal from enemy attack. Now the cactus-strewn landscapes of Baltra are home to the region's main airport.

Occupancy100
Celebrity Flora® is the first all-suites mega yacht designed for exploring the Galapagos Islands, and it’s the first ship there to receive a Four-Star Rating from Forbes Travel Guide. The Galapagos Islands influenced every decision that went into Celebrity Flora, from an outward-facing design that surrounds you in breathtaking views to locally sourced materials that weave the islands right into the ship itself. The suites ensure your stay in this unspoiled archipelago will be anything but rugged. Even the tenders are custom designed to make your journey more seamless than ever.

As sustainable as it is stunning, Celebrity Flora uses a dynamic positioning system that protects the seabed by allowing the ship to stay on station without anchors. Reverse osmosis turns sea water into all the fresh water we need. Flora’s also the first ship of its size to have solar panels, which supplement the electric supply and reduce emissions. And non-toxic silicone paint helps the hull glide more smoothly through the water with less fuel. Celebrity Flora is a ship that maximizes your Galapagos experience while minimizing our footprint. You’ll never want to Galapagos any other way.
