This once-in-a-lifetime journey combines guided time in Ecuador’s capital with an expedition cruise through the Galapagos Islands on board Celebrity Flora. Begin with a short stay in Quito to settle in and explore the city before flying to the Galapagos to spend seven nights sailing among some of the most wildlife rich islands on earth. The trip finishes back in Quito with a relaxed post cruise stay before returning home.
Start with two nights in Quito, set high in the Andes and known for its well preserved historic centre. On arrival, you are met by a Celebrity Cruises representative and transferred to your hotel, with time to relax after the journey.
A guided city tour is included, taking in Quito’s historic streets, the monasteries of San Francisco and Santo Domingo, and the Equator Line at the Middle of the World Monument. Lunch is included with views over the city, followed by a welcome dinner at a local restaurant.
Celebrity Flora is an all suite, all veranda mega yacht designed specifically for the Galapagos, carrying a limited number of guests to keep the experience personal and uncrowded. Floor to ceiling windows and private balconies mean wildlife and landscapes are always in view, whether you’re in your suite or relaxing on deck.
Key features include the open air Observation Lounge, wraparound sun decks and the aft Marina, where small Zodiac boats are launched for daily island landings and coastal exploration, allowing access to remote beaches and shallow shores. Dining takes place at Darwin’s Cove Restaurant, with relaxed Ecuadorian inspired menus served alongside uninterrupted sea views.
Each day is led by certified naturalist guides and combines guided island landings with time at sea, offering close access to wildlife and varied landscapes.
