Just returning from the full experience of the 17 day cruise / land package offered by Celebrity for the Galápagos and Machu Picchu package . Incredible trip all around and very well organized by Celebrity. Since this site is for cruise info, I’ll mention my thoughts on just the cruise portion, but know that you would not be disappointed by any part of the post cruise experience .
Trip started in Quito for a two night stay at the JW Marriott.. seems to be the best choice there by far. Early morning flight to Baltra began the cruise portion.
The Flora is a beautiful ship, certainly the largest in the islands. Arrival is by tender , a fun way to begin the trip.
