The Galapagos Islands, what I consider to be a living museum
of evolutionary changes, has been inching to the top of my bucket list. Yet for
some reason, each year I bypass this particular itinerary Celebrity Flora may be just what I’ve been waiting for!
Everything I’ve read about the Celebrity Flora intrigues me.
Comparisons have been made to the Celebrity Edge as far as the look, feel, and
the classic design. The ship’s standard accommodations, Sky Suite with Infinite
Veranda, measures 330 square feet. The 100-passenger ship is intimate, yet
there is still plenty of public space to enjoy. Guests can meet for drinks and
conversation at the Sunset Lounge or relax in The Vista, an open-air hideaway
with 360-degree views, cocoon-style loungers, and private cabanas.
The ship’s design maximizes views, which is the ideal for
the wildlife-rich Galápagos as well as the night sky, which be viewed from a
purposely built gazing platform. The Marina is the primary point of access to
the ship and can accommodate up to three Zodiacs at once, reducing transport
time to and from land.
Darwin's Cove and the Naturalist Center provide a bounty of
information on the destination, wildlife and environmental efforts, while the
Discovery Lounge will be home to Naturalist presentations and excursion
information. Also, instead of the one naturalist guide per 16 people on Celebrity
Xpedition, Celebrity Flora will have one guide per 12.
Other additions include a pool, and aside from the Seaside
Restaurant, a dedicated casual alternative restaurant, Ocean Grill, will offer
dining under the stars. And as you would expect from an ecologically responsible
corporation such as Celebrity Cruises, there are many new environmentally-friendly
attributes.
Celebrity Flora will operate year-round sailings from Baltra
Island starting on May 26, 2019.
