Galapagos Islands Adventure Nude** Cruise – July 13-20, 2025

Celebrity Flora

 

The Celebrity Flora® is the first all-suites, 100-guest ship designed exclusively for sailing these islands and it’s the first resort at sea in the region to receive a Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star Rating. Inspired by the islands and built with natural materials, the ship merges seamlessly with the surroundings, giving you a feeling of total immersion. To bring you an even more in-depth experience, certified naturalists from the Galápagos National Park are on board to guide the journey.

Celebrity Flora, the first ship of its kind to be designed and built specifically with this destination in mind. Every space, including the all-suites accommodations, features our innovative outward-facing concept, so the destination is the center of attention at every turn.

By day, visit the world’s most immaculate island chains with experts to lead you and your group.  Each of them is tested, trained, certified and approved by the government of Ecuador as professionally licensed guides. By night, raise your glass to celebrate your day’s nude adventures over world-class cuisine. We’ve included just about everything.  Your trip begins with a flight from Quito, Ecuador to Baltra to board your ship and begin making memories of a lifetime.

Take a tour of your home away from home via this Celebrity Flora video.

James & Champagne visited the Galapagos Islands previously by yacht as well as the mainland of Ecuador several times plus Peru and the Amazon River…so read on.   We will be your hosts for the cruise as well as the hotel in Quito where we’ve visited several times.

Did you know the official currency of Ecuador is the U.S. Dollar?

**Clothing optional and nude cruise opportunities on board:  Here are Celebrity’s summary of terms about this nude adventure cruise:  Nudity shall be permitted …. in such areas of the vessel as may be designated by the ship’s Captain and only while the ship is at sea.  No sexual activity is to take place in any public areas under any circumstances.   Many of the islands are deserted …. except for the native wildlife.    Clothing is required elsewhere and inside the ship including all public areas, reception, restaurants, bars and lounges.

About South America:  While you’re “in the neighborhood” add on extra adventures in destinations we’ve visited personally.   Quito, Ecuador & OtavaloCotopaxi National Park plus Peru including Lima, Amazon River Cruise from Iquitos plus Machu Picchu & Cusco, gateway city to reach Machu Picchu.

Machu Picchu Half the fun is getting there!                           Cusco is former capital of the Inca Empire, gateway to Machu Picchu

We’ve sailed the Amazon on the river ship Aqua Aria. All bedrooms face the river. Fish for piranha. See pink dolphins.

DETAILS: Add on extra days to explore and enjoy these fabulous countries and their people.   Give us a call to discuss Ecuador mainland sites and extend your holiday in Peru, the Inca trail and Machu Picchu.  Yes, we’ve been there and it is spectacular!    We not only cruised the Galapagos Islands but also tagged on a week for adventures on the beach, in Quito, Cotopaxi National Park with active volcanoes and quaint native markets such as Otavalo about 2 hours from Quito.  Near the Otavalo town square and Plaza de Ponchos, there’s a totally authentic market for handicrafts made by indigenous people from the mountain area. Bargains galore so hunt for jewelry, clothing (cheap!) and wool apparel with spectacular colors, carvings from wood and stone plus Panama hats, paintings and local crafts as well as from Peru and Colombia nearby.   We’ve also visited Machu Picchu, Lima and sailed the Amazon River in Peru.   See links here:   Quito, Ecuador & OtavaloCotopaxi National Park and volcanoes plus Peru including Lima, Amazon River Cruise from Iquitos, Peru and Machu Picchu & Cusco.

Your flight from the mainland to Galapagos Islands round trip is included in the pricing.  A private charter flight is included just for your group: Quito, Ecuador to Baltra – Round Trip.  Optional travel insurance is strongly recommended and available to residents of the U.S.A. from Castaways Travel’s preferred supplier, Allianz Travel Insurance.  The cruise, dates, terms, itinerary and vessel are subject to change by Celebrity Cruises, the Captain and protocols issued by the government of Ecuador.  See Travel Requirements for Galapagos Cruises | Celebrity Cruises.

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.
