A Message From Erik:

Ahoy, Explorer!

In addition to being great for groups and affirming to LGBTQ+ travelers, Celebrity Cruises offers one of my favorite itineraries – the Galapagos aboard the Celebrity Flora.

The Galapagos Islands are a natural wonder, home to unique wildlife and stunning landscapes. The Celebrity Flora, custom-built for the Galapagos, provides an intimate and immersive experience with its state-of-the-art design and eco-friendly features.

Imagine getting up close with species found nowhere else on Earth, including blue-footed boobies, giant tortoises, and marine iguanas. Picture pristine beaches and volcanic landscapes that you can explore through expert-led excursions guided by knowledgeable naturalists; you’ll gain deep insights into this unique archipelago's ecology and conservation efforts.

Whether traveling to the Galapagos, or on one of there many other unique itineraries Celebrity ensures a perfect blend of comfort and adventure, Let’s start planning your journey today – your perfect Celebrity Cruise awaits.

Warm Regards,

Erik Scheets | Red Suitcase Journeys
