Review summary

This was an incredible small ship experience in a magical location. Highly recommend!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We booked the before and after in Quito. With this option you will be flown to Baltra on a chartered jet and Celebrity ensures you move smoothly through the airport.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Plenty of great food and drink, including a lot of regional dishes that were delicious. On the Flora everything is included. You have to try a Yellow Warbler, delicious rum based drink.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
To be honest, there's so many excursions (2 or 3 per day) there's not a lot of on board down time. The crew provided informative talks, a crew music show, and a 2 part BBC Galapagos film.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We had a traditional veranda room. These are smaller than the "infinite" veranda rooms and lack the sea view tub, but we like being able to sit on a real veranda.

Ship tip

Be prepared to be very active. You will do a minimum of 2 excursions a day and you don't want to miss them.

Jseagal - we did to the 10 day version. We toured Quito and really enjoyed the pre and post cruise time.

Thank you for your review. Did you do the 10 day package? Did they take you on a tour of Quito on the Saturday before the cruise? A few more months to go and then we'll be on the Flora. I'm very excited.

Thanks for your review, sounds interesting. I looked up this ship and had no idea Celebrity does adventure cruises. I understand this niche mode of cruising is really gaining in popularity.
