Celebrity Flora is the first all-suites, 100-guest ship designed exclusively for sailing the Galápagos Islands, launched in 2019 and built to immerse guests in the archipelago’s extraordinary landscapes while maintaining a light footprint. With a 50-member crew and 50 cabins spread across six decks, the ship delivers spacious comfort, refined design using locally sourced materials, and breathtaking, outward-facing views from every suite. A dynamic positioning system keeps Flora on station without anchoring, protecting the seabed, while solar panels supplement power and non-toxic silicone paint reduces drag to lower emissions. The ship earned Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star status as a resort at sea in the region, and it was created to maximize wildlife encounters without compromising the ecosystems you’re visiting. Onboard experiences are led by certified Galápagos National Park naturalists who guide you through immersive itineraries, science talks, and guided shore visits, all designed to deepen your understanding of the islands. For practical comfort, guests can enjoy the ship’s six decks and 50 suites, plus the seamlessly integrated tenders that make shore transfers smooth, with electrical outlets in US 110v and EU 220v outlets (adapters are not provided) to keep your devices powered throughout the voyage.

Galapagos Cruises
Each So Unique, No Visit is the Same
Located 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador, this archipelago of unspoiled, isolated islands will welcome you with its rugged charms and evolutionary wonders. Consisting of 19 islands and 42 islets that all rose from the sea as the product of volcanic eruptions, these islands are between 3 million and 4 million years old.
Completely oceanic—meaning they’ve never been connected to the mainland—the Galapagos Islands are truly a world apart. Settlers have carved out their lives on the lava rocks, pirates have profited, and scientists have explored. The history of the Galapagos is rich and diverse, with tales of basic survival and extraordinary discovery. For almost any modern adventurer, a journey through time to the Galapagos is a dream vacation.
Balance Exploration With Relaxation
A few million years ago, volcanos erupted, creating these moonscapes where lumbering tortoises, comical birds, and other wildlife evolved in isolation. Today, you can experience this wondrous environment on shore excursions led by naturalists—two each day—as active or leisurely as you choose. Climb the hills to find colonies of red-footed boobies, hike the coast to spot colourful Sally Lightfoot crabs, watch the sea lions go surfing, or just relax and enjoy the sandy beaches and deck-side bars.
Certified Experts Lead the Way
Sailings include two shore excursions per day, each the adventure of a lifetime. Onboard naturalists, certified by Galapagos National Park, lead small groups of no more than 12 explorers. Activities are curated by our highly trained team of experts and each night we brief you on upcoming adventures.
Three Great Reasons to Visit The Galapagos
Once in a lifetime, you can walk in the footsteps of Darwin, getting closer to the natural world than you ever have or ever will, coming home with a radically new understanding of the planet. With us, you'll encounter flora found nowhere else, come face to face with fauna that has not learned to fear humans, and hike moonscapes that barely resemble Earth.
The Flora
While the animals of the Galapagos Islands get the glory, the evolution and adaptation of plant life here is equally important. Check out the beautiful lava Cactus, which only grows on barren lava fields. The Prickly Pear Cactus found only on these islands. And, the magnificent Scalesia, which grows up to sixty feet tall.
The Fauna
Since the animals here don’t fear humans, you can truly get up close and personal, looking into the eyes of a Galapagos marine iguana, and walking among penguins – the only penguin species north of the equator. Here, you’ll discover creatures whose very existence forms the basis for one of the most famous scientific theories in history.
The Adventure
Nature lovers flock to this exotic terrain born of fire. Once, volcanos spat and lava flowed, creating an archipelago of 19 islands with a marine reserve that serve as a living museum of evolution. Extreme isolation and the convergence of three ocean currents developed the most unusual wildlife.
Novurania Yacht Tenders
Celebrity Flora℠ custom-built Novurania tenders will transport you in comfort and style. They feature stairs with a metal railing that fits flush against the open aft creating a seamless ship to shore transportation system that makes it even easier to go exploring the islands—a first in the Galapagos. Each tender also features a hydraulic ramp that makes wet landings in the islands much more convenient—and less wet. It can also be used as a platform that makes getting on and off for snorkeling much easier. Other features not found on the standard tender include storage space for snorkel gear and interior seating. They also feature rubber grips on the sides for a comfortable place to hold on while you explore the islands.
Glamping Experience
Galapagos Glamping is the first sunset-to-sunrise experience of its kind in the Galapagos Islands. Enjoy an exclusive and delectable dinner featuring campfire-themed delights and cocktails. Experience a naturalist-guided stargazing session under the constellations of both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, as you sail along the equator. Sleep under the stars in a cabana that transforms into a comfortable double bed. Wake up to the sunrise and a private breakfast before you leave for your daily island adventures.
Marina
Located on deck 3, this is the ship’s primary access point.
Stargazing
The stars in the night sky over the Galapagos Islands are a brilliant sight to see. And, there’s no better place to witness these celestial marvels than our Stargazing platform. Enjoy guided stargazing or simply take in the spectacle on your own—we even provide the binoculars.
The Lab
The Lab can be found on Deck 3
Frost Science
We’ve collaborated with Miami’s Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science to design educational videos that are part of our immersive Galapagos experience. Fun and engaging, the videos can be viewed at your leisure in the bars and lounges and in your suite. Each video ranges from 5-minute shorts to in-depth 30-minute “TED” style lectures on relevant topics that help prepare you for your daily adventures in the islands.
EarthEcho
We’ve partnered with EarthEcho International, a nonprofit organisation founded by Philippe Cousteau. Jr., to introduce a comprehensive and customised youth program designed to empower a new generation of environmental advocates. The program is designed to inspire young people to act now for a sustainable future. Together, we’re engaging with youth and the local community to support the protection and enhancement of the treasured ecosystems of the Galapagos Islands, and we’ll explore opportunities to expand our partnership to other regions of the world.
Seaside Restaurant
The main restaurant, Seaside Restaurant on Deck 4, serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a dinner menu that offers Celebrity Signature dishes every night throughout your cruise as well as Ecuadorian inspired dishes that change nightly. This spacious restaurant features floor-to-ceiling windows throughout offering stunning vistas to complement the mouthwatering meals you’ll enjoy here. We like to refer to the atmosphere here as upscale casual.
Ocean Grill Restaurant
From grilling up the highest quality sustainable seafood for lunch, to the spectacular Dinner Under the Stars, Ocean Grill is the envy of any destination restaurant—on land or at sea.
The Observatory
Want to learn even more about the Galapagos? Head up to the Observatory—our stunning library dedicated to the Galapagos Islands, surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows. There’s no better place to cozy up with a book and take in the views.
Discovery Lounge
When you’re not learning about the islands from our team of Naturalists, the Discovery Lounge is where you’ll be socialising, unwinding, and being entertained by performances and conversations with your crew and fellow explorers.
The Vista
This open-air hideaway is the ultimate place for unwinding. Slip into the hot tub for a muscle soothing soak or sink into a cocoon-style lounger.
Sunset Lounge
Slip into the plunge pool and soak a while. Catch some rays in the sunny areas or escape the sun in the shady spots. This intimate scene, which accommodates up to 26 guests, offers chaise lounges that invite you to sink in, refl ect on the day’s activities, and enjoy a favorite beverage
Stargazing Deck
With space for 30 guests, this vantage point directs your gaze up to the sky at night and out to the islands by day
Darwin’s Cove
Located on deck 3, this area for up to 72 guests houses Guest Relations, where you check in at arrival and find answers throughout your sailing.
Shops
There are small shops with limited expedition gear as well as some souvenirs. In addition, there is a limited quantity of sunscreen and other sundries available.
