To see the Galapagos Islands, you need a boat to move around. There are many tour operators and their vessels range from small, basic
sailing boats to luxury cruise ships.
The Celebrity Xpedition has a capacity for 96 passengers and 68 crew and is one of the largest
and certainly one of the most luxurious offers in the market. Zodiacs carry you to and from the beaches and harbors.
Excursions,
food, drinks and tips are all included in the expensive package.
Service is excellent, the food pretty good and the guides are
friendly and very knowledgeable.
