Galapagos Adventure Cruise - April 29 - May 6, 2012
This is one of the most unique cruise adventures you'll ever find. This is a very small ship with only 44 cabins but it is the largest ship (by far) in the Galapagos Islands (at 300 ft). The trip will have 2 nights in Quito, Ecuador, flight from Quito to Galapagos, 7 nights of cruising and 1 night again in Ecuador before the flight home. This will be a real casual cruise - there are no formal nights.

About the Galapagos Islands
Unrivaled flora and fauna await you in the Galapagos Islands. Just 600 miles off the western coast of Ecuador, this cluster of islands offers an abundance of riches to explore. Many destinations promise visitors the chance to "step back into history." A Celebrity Xpeditions to the Galapagos Islands perhaps best exemplifies that promise.
These islands are known as the inspiration for Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, this cluster is so isolated that many of its creatures cannot be found anywhere else on earth. From the giant tortoises that bear the Galapagos name, to the marine iguanas and "Darwin" finches, the islands afford visitors the chance to observe a living laboratory of adaptation. Celebrity Cruises provide guests with this rare, up-close experience with the smallest possible environmental impact to these precious shores.

This Cruise Includes Everything
This cruise is a lot different from other cruise you may have experienced... this Cruise includes Everything. All of your top shelf liquor and wines are included, best of all, the excursions are included too! Everyday, there will be two sets of excursions, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Some will be "Wet Excursions" (snorkeling with penguins, exploring the coasts with turtles and sea lions) and other ones will be "Dry Excursions" that will explore the interior of the islands and wildlife.
The Staff on board the Xpedition is one of the best crews you'll ever experience. They will custom fit you with a wet suit when you arrive, they will host a special celebration when you cross the Equator, they will have classes to teach you about the islands and they will lead you on the excursions as you walk on land that few will ever see.
"As Travel Agents, we've been to over 140 counties throughout the years and the Galapagos Cruise is one of our top 3 Adventures we've ever experience. This is a "Must Do!" James & Champagne, Castaways Travel
Optional Maccu Pichu Tour
Before the cruise (April 22-28), we will have an optional 5 day trip to Maccu Pichu, Peru. Machu Picchu is a city located high in the Andes Mountains in modern Peru. It lies 43 miles northwest of Cuzco at the top of a ridge, hiding it from the Urabamba gorge below. Machu Picchu (which means "Old Peak") was most likely a royal estate and religious retreat. It was built between 1460 and 1470 AD by Pachacuti Inca Yupanqui, an Incan ruler. Machu Picchu is comprised of approximately 200 buildings, most being residences, although there are temples, storage structures and other public buildings. It has polygonal masonry, characteristic of the late Inca period.
This unique excursion is a "Must See" for those traveling to this region. Both the Galapagos Islands and Maccu Pichu are two of those "Bucket List" destinations for those looking for unique and fulfilling travel destinations
