| Come
join us on a part of the planet where few have trod before. Where nearly
half of the species are found nowhere else in the world. An area so
remote that its nearest neighbor, Ecuador, is 600 miles away. Welcome to
the islands of the Galapagos and an experience so singular that, among
the premium cruiselines, only Celebrity can bring it to you. The Galapagos are an
incredibly young version of Hawaii, bleak looking at first and encrusted
with striations and pockets placed against a turquoise sea. Traveling
back in time from the lush Polynesian islands, you see the formation of
plant life and, looking more carefully at the rugged cliffs, it becomes
clear that they are teeming with life on foot, fin and wing, as well as
root. Every fold, crevice and hole, every peak and wave is fluttering
with boobies and pelicans, and with seals draped over rocks, peeking
from crevices, flopped on beaches and body surfing both in and on the
waves.
In the Galapagos’ unique
ecosystem, penguins and seals share the spotlight with tortoises and
cacti. Blue- and red-footed boobies with absurdly brilliant turquoise
and scarlet feet dance a mating ritual that looks like the old black and
white pre-war cartoons, and nocturnal swallowtail gulls find their
offspring’s waiting beaks marked by each one’s brilliant white spot. The following cruise lines offer a
variety of cruise adventures to Africa:
