Celebrity Cruises revealed exciting new cruises on board its newest ships in the Galapagos Islands.
The cruise line has added two new ships, Celebrity Xploration and Celebrity Xperience, which begin sailing in March 2017, following a multi-million dollar refresh per vessel for signature modern luxury enhancements. Both ships offer a wide all-inclusive range of indulgences and land excursions while sailing new itineraries. Guests can continue to sail on-board Celebrity's state-of-the-art 100-passenger Celebrity Xpedition. Together, the three ships will offer six unique itineraries, 15 islands, more than 30 ports of call, and multiple packages to choose from.
Celebrity Xploration and Celebrity Xperience are both uniquely intimate. Ideal for travellers seeking a tight-knit community of like-minded vacationers, Celebrity’s Xploration is a beautiful catamaran featuring eight luxurious staterooms, each with a window or veranda offering unforgettable views. The larger Celebrity Xperience offers a similar modern luxury experience to guests staying in its 24 stylish staterooms.
Packages range from seven to 15 nights, and feature northern and southern loop itineraries:
