Celebrity Cruises has announced plans to return to the Galapagos Islands this July.

The line’s yacht Celebrity Flora will restart sailings on 4 July, followed by Celebrity Xpedition and the 16-passenger Celebrity Xploration on 24 July and 18 September, respectively.

All ships will sail with vaccinated crew and will be available to vaccinated adult guests and children under the age of 18 with a negative PCR test result.

In addition, all guests should review and comply with local requirements for entry to Ecuador and the Galapagos.

The ships will explore the Galapagos with Northern and Southern Loop itineraries. Guests will also be able to take twice-daily shore excursions guided by Galapagos National Park certified naturalists.

For a limited time, Celebrity is offering reduced air fare for guests who book a Galapagos holiday package.

The offer is valid for round-trip economy fares departing from the UK and Ireland, with a saving of up to £625pp, on bookings made by 30 June 2021 and for sailings departing between 4 July – 31 December 2023.

Celebrity is due to operate UK summer staycations from 3 July on Celebrity Silhouette. New ship Celebrity Apex is also scheduled to make its debut on seven-night sailings from Athens, starting on 19 June.
