<strong>Celebrity</strong>’s Hawaii and Pacific Islands
<strong>Celebrity</strong>’sHawaii & Pacific Islands<br />
Islands of bliss and a<br />
voyage of discovery.<br />
These islands were born of volcanic fire, sculpted by wind and water, and warmed by an inviting<br />
spirit known as aloha in Hawaii, ngãkau aroa in the Cook Islands, and whãnu by the Maoris — a<br />
hospitality you’ll feel as you navigate through the Pacific on a <strong>Celebrity</strong> cruise. We’ll bring you close<br />
to Mount Kilauea, so you can see how it makes the formation of Hawaii’s Big Island an ongoing saga.<br />
We’ll introduce you to the serenity of the rain forest near Rarotonga and the spectacular underwater<br />
abundance of fish in the lagoons off Bora Bora. And we’ll help you experience the embrace of<br />
island life at every stop along the way.<br />
A Hawaiian Paradise<br />
A Hawaiian cruise offers a wealth of possibilities. A<br />
stop on the bustling island of Oahu takes you through<br />
cosmopolitan Honolulu, a city built on a foundation of<br />
traditions and cultural influences from nearly every
Bare feet and warm surf; sunset in Hawaii; Rainbow Falls in Hilo, Hawaii; Pineapples ripen for harvest in the warm Hawaiian sun.<br />
country in Asia. Within the city limits you’ll find<br />
breathtaking beaches, like Waikiki, as well as the<br />
Diamond Head Volcano, whose iconic silhouette<br />
dominates the skyline. The dormant Haleakala<br />
Volcano on Maui rises 10,000 feet to the heavens,<br />
and its peak is frequently blanketed in snow. On its<br />
slopes, the rich volcanic soils host huge plantations<br />
growing coffee, pineapples, sugarcane, and taro, a<br />
staple of the local diet. And then there is the simmering<br />
Big Island, a study in stark contrasts. In a single day<br />
you can watch as the steady breezes and rolling<br />
waves create the perfect playground for kite surfers<br />
and sailboarders; venture inland at Hilo to explore<br />
Rainbow Falls, the island’s most spectacular cascade;<br />
or get a sense of this world’s first chapters in Hawaii<br />
Volcanoes National Park, as you tread across a barren<br />
lava landscape that still radiates the warmth it<br />
brought forth from the earth’s molten core.<br />
Many Islands, Many Faces<br />
Venture from Hawaii out into the Pacific and the<br />
rewards of your voyage defy easy description. In<br />
Papeete, Tahiti, you can experience the bliss of<br />
South Seas serenity, or shop for exotic bargains in the<br />
Marché Papeete, the capital’s bustling marketplace. In<br />
Moorea, float in the emerald lagoons that slowly give<br />
way to the azure waters of the Pacific, or climb Mt. Rotui,<br />
an endeavor that will reward you with spectacular views<br />
of Opunohu Bay. In Kiribati, you’ll be amazed by the profusion<br />
of wildlife, as well as stone ruins that date back to the<br />
15th century. And on Rarotonga, relax to the island’s<br />
laid-back cadence, or go shopping using one of the<br />
world’s only $3 bills.<br />
EXPERIENCES OF A LIFETIME<br />
Get the most out of your Hawaiian and Pacific Islands vacation, both on<br />
land and sea, with informative shore excursions. See our ports of call on<br />
pages 21-23 for details.<br />
We suggest that you book your shore excursions early. To view all shore<br />
excursion offerings and pricing, visit celebritycruises.com/shoreex.<br />
With one staff member for every two guests, it’s no wonder <strong>Celebrity</strong><br />
delivers attentive service, offering such treats as complimentary chilled<br />
towels upon returning from your shore excursions. So go ahead and enjoy<br />
your Hawaii and Pacific Islands voyage and shore excursions to the<br />
fullest. We’re ready to serve you every step of the way.<br />

Hawaii and<br />
Pacific Islands<br />
Following in the wake of legendary<br />
explorers like James Cook,<br />
<strong>Celebrity</strong>’s voyages of discovery<br />
will give you the chance to fully<br />
absorb the serene beauty of these<br />
island outposts — beyond the<br />
tranquil beaches and into the<br />
intricacies of island life. Because<br />
of the distances involved, you’ll also<br />
have ample time at sea to become<br />
acquainted with the many amenities<br />
of your ship and the attentive staff<br />
who will see to your needs. There<br />
truly is no more enchanting place<br />
than these Pacific Islands and no<br />
better way to experience them<br />
than <strong>Celebrity</strong> <strong>Cruises</strong>®.<br />

Hawaii & Pacific Islands Shore Excursions<br />
Life begins beyond<br />
the beach.<br />
The fact that each of these islands is encircled by the majestic waters of the Pacific makes beach<br />
activities an inviting part of any cruise vacation. But don’t let the hypnotic waters keep you tethered<br />
to the sand. Spend a moment standing in hushed, respectful silence at Pearl Harbor as you pay<br />
tribute to the sailors of the USS Arizona who lost their lives on that infamous morning in 1941.<br />
Take a shore excursion from Hilo to Akaka Falls, watching the waters plunge a dramatic 400 feet<br />
toward the ocean. Venture out to sea from Papeete and try to hook a combative game fish, like<br />
mahi-mahi or marlin, or observe migrating humpback whales off the Maui coast. There is virtually<br />
no limit to the breadth and depth of what awaits you here.<br />
• Peer into a Volcanic Crater (Maui)<br />
• Attend a Luau (Oahu)<br />
• Snorkeling (Moorea)<br />

• Musée Gauguin (Tahiti)<br />

Auckland, New Zealand<br />
The “City of Sails,” known for its sparkling<br />
waters, bustling harbor, and cosmopolitan<br />
flair, is an ideal spot for water sports and<br />
sailing. A total of 48 dormant volcanoes are<br />
situated within Auckland, making it a lush,<br />
leafy city that’s perhaps best viewed from the<br />
360-degree observation platform atop the<br />
1,076 ft. Sky Tower. At ground level, visit the<br />
city’s renowned art galleries and stroll through<br />
the beautiful, expansive parks.<br />
SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Auckland City,<br />
Harbour Highlights & Airport Drop-Off (Offered on<br />
Day of Disembarkation)<br />
Ports of Call<br />
Ensenada, Mexico<br />
The Riviera Pacifica, with the Bar of the<br />
Seven Sins, boasts a colorful past as the<br />
former playgrounds of California gentry and<br />
movie stars. Festive shops and a former<br />
prison that now serves as an Aztec<br />
museum are just a few highlights of this<br />
Baja Peninsula favorite.<br />
Bay of Islands,<br />
New Zealand<br />
Surrounded by beaches considered some of<br />
the best in the world, with perfect white sand<br />
and crystal-clear water, Bay of Islands is home<br />
to the Waitangi National Reserve and known<br />
as the Birthplace of a Nation. Many consider<br />
this the ideal place to try out an active<br />
pastime or two, such as kayaking, sailing,<br />
and swimming with dolphins. Or, if beach<br />
relaxation is what you’re after, pull up a<br />
lounge chair and soak in the surroundings.<br />
SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Tucker Thompson<br />
Tall Ship Sailing Experience<br />
Kiritimati (Christmas Island),<br />
Republic of Kiribati<br />
Discovered by Captain Cook in 1777, this<br />
tiny atoll was largely ignored by the rest<br />
of the world for 100 years, with the first<br />
permanent settlement established in 1882.<br />
Today, this untouched paradise remains<br />
uncrowded and unhurried. The most populated<br />
areas of the island are the bird sanctuary<br />
and the lagoons, known by anglers worldwide<br />
for the exceptional bonefishing.<br />
Bora Bora,<br />
French Polynesia<br />
With white-sand beaches and valleys covered<br />
in hibiscus blossoms, Bora Bora offers the<br />
ultimate in island relaxation and active water<br />
pursuits. Its colorful coral reef and lagoon are<br />
home to thousands of tropical fish, while its<br />
land-based shops offer some of the world’s<br />
best black pearls and locally made pareus and<br />
straw hats. Its signature landmark is tombstone-shaped<br />
Mount Otemanu, which towers<br />
over the island at 2,379 feet.<br />
SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Glass-Bottom<br />
Boat Lagoonarium Experience<br />
Hilo, Hawaii<br />
Located on the lush coast of the Big Island,<br />
Hilo is home to two of the most spectacular<br />
waterfalls in all of creation: Rainbow Falls<br />
in the south and the mammoth Akaka Falls<br />
in the north. Hilo is also home to Volcanoes<br />
National Park and the imposing Kilauea<br />
Volcano.<br />

Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii<br />
Cosmopolitan Honolulu offers hundreds of<br />
attractions and points of interest for the<br />
ambitious sightseer. From Pearl Harbor to<br />
Iolani Palace (one of the only royal palaces<br />
on American soil), you’ll enjoy exploring<br />
this city, which seems to rise up out of the<br />
lush Hawaiian flora.<br />
SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Swim with<br />
the Dolphins, USS Arizona Memorial & City<br />
Sightseeing, Polynesian Cultural Center<br />
Ports of Call<br />
Kauai (Nawiliwili), Hawaii<br />
Although one of the smallest of the<br />
Hawaiian islands, Kauai is a paradise of<br />
large proportions. Along the Lihue Kalapaki<br />
coast, you can visit Wailua Falls, which<br />
served as the backdrop of the old television<br />
series Fantasy Island. This paradise, with its<br />
miles of beaches and attractions such as<br />
the Fern Grotto, will fulfill your own fantasies<br />
of what a perfect vacation spot should be.<br />
SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Wailua River<br />
Cruise & Fern Grotto, Hollywood in Hawaii —<br />
Movies and Waterfalls<br />
International Dateline<br />
This imaginary line, which runs roughly<br />
parallel to the 180° longitudinal line,<br />
represents where each day begins and<br />
ends. As you travel east you’ll subtract<br />
24 hours from your current time, and you<br />
will add 24 hours as you travel west<br />
across it. The need for such a line was<br />
first discovered by Magellan in the early<br />
16th century and the fact that one could<br />
either gain or lose a day caused much<br />
excitement at the time, so much so that<br />
navigators were summoned by the Pope<br />
to explain the phenomenon.<br />
Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii<br />
The most prominent feature of Maui is<br />
Haleakala, the world’s largest dormant<br />
volcano. And from the historic town of<br />
Lahaina, you might also witness of one<br />
nature’s greatest spectacles: the annual<br />
migration of humpback whales returning<br />
to their winter feeding grounds, which<br />
takes place between December and March.<br />
SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Maui Whale<br />
Watch, Hana & Haleakala Helicopter Exploration,<br />
Haleakala Crater<br />
Kailua-Kona, Hawaii<br />
This was once the seat of power from<br />
which the great King Kamehameha<br />
ruled his island empire. Located on the<br />
picturesque Kona Coast, where some of<br />
the world’s best coffee is harvested,<br />
Kailua-Kona is close to the marine<br />
sanctuary of Kealakekua Bay. This<br />
snorkeling haven is also home to the<br />
Captain Cook Monument.<br />
SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Deep-Sea<br />
Fishing, Kona Cloud Forest Botanical Walk, Kohala<br />
Waterfalls Adventure<br />
Moorea,<br />
French Polynesia<br />
Moorea is a unique volcanic island surrounded<br />
by languid lagoons and both white- and<br />
black-sand beaches. Often associated with<br />
James Michener’s imaginary island of Bali<br />
Hai, Moorea is the epitome of paradise.<br />
View tapa-cloth-making and other traditional<br />
French Polynesian handicrafts at the Tiki<br />
Village Theatre, built to resemble ancient<br />
villages that once graced the islands.<br />
SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Lagoon Discovery<br />
with Snorkeling, Circle Island Tour & Belevedere
Mount Kilauea, Hawaii<br />
(Scenic Cruising)<br />
The Big Island has grown over 500 acres,<br />
thanks to the active nature of Mount<br />
Kilauea, Hawaii’s youngest volcano. This<br />
molten masterpiece also happens to be one<br />
of the world’s most active and likes to show<br />
off when the sun goes down. You’ll have a<br />
front-row seat to this nighttime spectacle,<br />
watching as the fiery lava flows blaze down<br />
the mountainside as your cruise ship glides<br />
by. You’ll never think of fireworks the same<br />
way again.<br />
celebritycruises.com/shoreex<br />
San Diego, California<br />
Originally settled by a contingent of<br />
Franciscan friars in the mid-18th century,<br />
San Diego has flourished to become one of<br />
America’s largest and most attractive cities.<br />
Bordered by the Anza-Borrego Desert, the<br />
Laguna Mountains, and the Pacific Ocean, it’s<br />
blessed with a year-round Mediterranean<br />
climate, which only adds to the attraction<br />
of its 70 miles of beaches.<br />
SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: San Diego and<br />
La Jolla Highlights with Airport Drop-Off (Offered<br />
on Day of Disembarkation)<br />
Papeete, Tahiti,<br />
French Polynesia<br />
The capital city of French Polynesia’s largest<br />
island, Papeete is a hot spot noted for chic<br />
shopping and the cultural beauty that<br />
inspired artist Paul Gauguin. You can view<br />
works that recapture his life in French<br />
Polynesia at Musée Gauguin and perhaps<br />
even find colorful pareus — like the ones<br />
worn by his beautiful models in his<br />
impressionistic masterpieces — at<br />
the busy Marché Municipale.<br />
SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: In Paul<br />
Guaguin’s Footsteps, Tahiti Island Tour<br />
Tauranga, New Zealand<br />
Tauranga is located at the entrance to one<br />
of the largest natural harbors in New<br />
Zealand and is nestled beside magnificent<br />
Mount Maunganui. Water activities are the<br />
highlight here for locals and visitors alike,<br />
with such perennial favorites as a ride on a<br />
jet boat, white-water rafting the Rangitaiki<br />
River, or just relaxing on the beach. As for<br />
encounters with the local scene on land, the<br />
Elms Mission House offers a close look at<br />
colonial architecture.<br />
SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Bush Jet Boat &<br />
Kiwifruit Farm, Rangitaiki Water Rafting<br />

The vibrant capital of the Cook Islands is<br />
marked by a dense tropical rainforest that<br />
surrounds the volcanic pinnacle Te Rua<br />
Manga (“the needle”) and deep lagoons<br />
filled with black pearls. Snorkeling, shopping,<br />
and sightseeing opportunities abound here.<br />
And several jewelry shops specializing in<br />
black pearls just may tempt you to bring<br />
home a dazzling orb of paradise.<br />
SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Circle Island<br />

<strong>Celebrity</strong>’s Australia and New Zealand
<strong>Celebrity</strong>’sAustralia & New Zealand<br />
Down under, above<br />
and beyond.<br />
Tucked into their own corner of the world, Australia and New Zealand have cultivated their own identities.<br />
Their European beginnings can be found everywhere, but those origins are seasoned by unmistakable<br />
Aboriginal and Maori roots, giving life an exotic timbre. A <strong>Celebrity</strong> cruise or cruisetour can help you<br />
discover every nuance. You’ll find a surprisingly international vibe in Melbourne, with traditional<br />
Australian culture generously flavored by its Chinese, Italian, and Greek ethnic enclaves, making life here<br />
an enchanting melting pot. See wildlife at its most abundant on the Great Barrier Reef or at its most<br />
eclectic in New Zealand. Only <strong>Celebrity</strong> <strong>Cruises</strong>® can introduce you to everything that makes this place<br />
a world unto itself. We’ll show you why “g’day” isn’t just a salutation, it’s a preview of what awaits.<br />
Spectacular Redefined<br />
Australia and New Zealand are filled with icons — both<br />
natural and manmade. The Sydney Opera House, the<br />
world’s most recognizable venue, rules the Australian<br />
skyline. Further south in New Zealand’s Bay of Plenty,
Traditional wood carvings in Tauranga, New Zealand; a curious koala enjoys a little lunch from a eucalyptus tree; the Sydney Opera House; Australian<br />
Aborigine playing the didgeridoo.<br />
the active Volcanic White Island creates its own<br />
visual impact, while the fjords of Dusky Sound can<br />
be found eerily cloaked in morning mists, fed by<br />
rivers that tumble over the soaring cliffs. You may<br />
get a look at exotic native marine species in New<br />
Zealand’s National Aquarium in Napier, or watch<br />
local surfers ride the waves in Newcastle, Australia,<br />
as you soak in the scene from the comfort of the<br />
Ocean Baths. As we enter Doubtful Sound, watch<br />
for fur seals and bottlenose dolphins playing in the<br />
waters, or gaze in wonder at the nightly Penguin<br />
Parade on Australia’s Summerland Beach.<br />
Get into Australia<br />
While the portion of the Australian coast we visit<br />
by ship represents untold visual riches, if you were<br />
to limit your Australian exploration solely to these<br />
shores you would only be hearing a tiny portion of<br />
the story. The interior is a vast place with points of<br />
interest so remote that many are accessible only by<br />
aircraft. Our fully escorted Australian cruisetours<br />
have been created to seamlessly dovetail with our<br />
cruise vacations, creating the kind of seamless,<br />
comprehensive experience that only <strong>Celebrity</strong> <strong>Cruises</strong><br />
can deliver. From the mythical Ayers Rock to the Great<br />
Barrier Reef, we’ll show you parts of this country that<br />
even some Australians have never seen. And through<br />
it all you’ll be accompanied by a knowledgeable Tour<br />
Director, whose intimate familiarity with all things<br />
Australian will paint a vividly detailed picture of this<br />
amazing place.<br />
EXPERIENCES OF A LIFETIME<br />
Get the most out of your Australia and New Zealand vacation, both on<br />
land and sea, with great cruisetour packages. See page 42 for details or<br />

Australia and<br />
New Zealand<br />
There are many ways to see<br />
Australia and New Zealand, but<br />
there is only one way to fully<br />
experience everything about these<br />
mythical places — their natural<br />
wonders, the easygoing outlook,<br />
and the European and native<br />
cultures intertwining like nowhere<br />
else in the world. From the Great<br />
Barrier Reef to the fjords of the<br />
Te Wahipounamu World Heritage<br />
Site, these cruises and cruisetours<br />
will take you through these countries’<br />
coasts and interiors, infusing you<br />
with memories that will stay with<br />
you for the rest of your days.<br />

Australia & New Zealand Shore Excursions<br />
Head inland, go local.<br />
At each stop along our Australia and New Zealand voyages, you’ll discover an abundance of enticing<br />
possibilities. Take a hiking trip through the rainforest or tour the elegant historic districts of<br />
Melbourne or Wellington. If you’d rather commune with the endless assortment of wildlife, there<br />
are ample opportunities for that as well. Our shore excursions can bring you up close to all the<br />
things that make life here such a never-ending kaleidoscope of sensations. From the Waitomo<br />
Glowworm Caves, whose walls come alive with luminescence, to the Larnach Castle, where you’ll<br />
feel the past come to life, there really is something for everyone here. Sip estate vintages in Newcastle<br />
or Napier, take a scenic train ride through the Taieri River Gorge, or maybe just watch penguins<br />
make their merry way toward the sea. When it comes to enchantment, these places want for nothing.<br />

Akaroa, New Zealand<br />
While both the British and French have at<br />
one time vied for ownership of this<br />
spectacular South Island outpost, the<br />
harbor has a far more tumultuous origin.<br />
It was actually formed by the eruption of<br />
two volcanoes, which left a massive crater<br />
that connects to the sea. Although the<br />
scenery is pure New Zealand, much of the<br />
architecture retains its French inflection.<br />
Ports of Call<br />
Doubtful Sound,<br />
New Zealand<br />
(Scenic Cruising)<br />
Doubtful Sound is unusual in that it has<br />
two distinct layers of water: fresh mountain<br />
water atop cold, heavy saline water, teeming<br />
with remarkable deep-sea species. Keep<br />
your eyes peeled for bottlenose dolphins,<br />
fur seals and two types of penguins — the<br />
Fiordland crested and blue. This scenic<br />
sound in Fiordland National Park is one of<br />
three featured on itineraries.<br />
Auckland, New Zealand<br />
The “City of Sails,” known for its sparkling<br />
waters, bustling harbor, and cosmopolitan<br />
flair, is an ideal spot for water sports and<br />
sailing. A total of 48 dormant volcanoes are<br />
situated within Auckland, making it a lush,<br />
leafy city that’s perhaps best viewed from<br />
the 360-degree observation platform atop<br />
the 1,076 ft. Sky Tower. At ground level, visit<br />
the city’s renowned art galleries and stroll<br />
through the beautiful, expansive parks.<br />
SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Auckland City,<br />
Harbour Highlights & Airport Drop-Off (Offered<br />
on Day of Disembarkation)<br />
Dunedin, New Zealand<br />
With dramatic scenery and some of the<br />
finest historic buildings in New Zealand,<br />
Dunedin proudly displays its Scottish<br />
roots. In fact, it’s a great place to shop for<br />
kilts and haggis. The city is also home to<br />
New Zealand’s only castle, a 15-year construction<br />
endeavor complete with the only<br />
staircase of its kind in the Southern<br />
Hemisphere and magnificent woodwork.<br />
SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Dunedin<br />
Highlights, Dunedin City Heritage Tour<br />
Christchurch,<br />
New Zealand<br />
New Zealand’s “Garden City” features many<br />
parks as well as Victorian architecture, avenues,<br />
and squares. Situated within 459-acre Hagley<br />
Park, the 57-acre Christchurch Botanic<br />
Gardens features some of New Zealand’s<br />
oldest trees, while at the center of town is<br />
Christchurch Cathedral, a stunning example<br />
of Gothic Revival architecture.<br />
SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Christchurch &<br />
Countryside, Orana Wildlife Park & Scenic Gondola<br />
Ride<br />
Dusky Sound,<br />
New Zealand<br />
(Scenic Cruising)<br />
The largest and most complex of the many<br />
fjords along this coast, Dusky Sound boasts<br />
steep cliffs and hundreds of cascading<br />
waterfalls. Direct your attention toward the<br />
water, where you may spot seals and dolphins,<br />
and to the sky, where broad-billed<br />
prions, mottled petrels, and sooty<br />
shearwaters may fly into view. This<br />
amazing sound is one of three featured<br />
on itineraries.<br />

Hobart, Tasmania<br />
A riverside city replete with Georgian<br />
charm, Hobart features a thriving arts<br />
scene, a gorgeous mountain backdrop, and<br />
a busy harbor where yachts from all over<br />
the world congregate. It’s also the gateway<br />
to a world-class chocolate factory, Cadbury,<br />
and home to the Cascade Brewery, producing<br />
one of the finest beers in New Zealand. To<br />
learn more about the island’s Aboriginal<br />
heritage, a visit to the Tasmanian Museum<br />
and Art Gallery is worth making.<br />
SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Tasmanian<br />
Tasting Journey by 4WD, Hobart Walking Tour &<br />
Panoramic Tour<br />
Ports of Call<br />
Napier, New Zealand<br />
There’s really only one word to describe<br />
this city: pretty. Napier’s elegant art deco<br />
architecture, captivating beaches, and<br />
award-winning vineyards provide an<br />
appealing backdrop as you take in the<br />
sights. The National Aquarium of New<br />
Zealand, shaped like a stingray, features<br />
piranhas and crocodiles, as well as several<br />
other safer species in hands-on exhibits.<br />
SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Napier Art<br />
Deco Highlights, Hawkes Bay Town & Country<br />
Melbourne, Australia<br />
The state capital of Victoria and<br />
Australia’s second-largest city, Melbourne<br />
is a cultural melting pot of Greek, Chinese,<br />
Italian, English, and Irish, and host to major<br />
international events. You’ll discover a decidedly<br />
European influence here, complete with oldworld<br />
architecture and a cricket field at the<br />
center of the city. The Melbourne Zoo is a<br />
great place to encounter Australia’s abundance<br />
of unusual animals.<br />
SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Platypus,<br />
Kangaroos, & Koalas in Healesville Sanctuary,<br />
Heritage Traincar Tea<br />
Newcastle, Australia<br />
While Newcastle is a significant coalshipping<br />
center, you’ll likely focus more on<br />
its surf-worthy beaches and recreational<br />
pools, filled regularly with ocean saltwater.<br />
These historic Ocean Baths are located<br />
along the beach and are built with an art<br />
deco flair. Soak in the pools, take a relaxing<br />
swim, or venture into Hunter Valley to<br />
view stunning vineyards and taste fine<br />
varietals.<br />
SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Beach Duning<br />
Adventure, A Taste of Hunter Valley<br />
Milford Sound,<br />
New Zealand<br />
(Scenic Cruising)<br />
Situated within Fiordland National Park,<br />
Milford Sound is part of the Te Wahipounamu<br />
World Heritage Site and is surrounded by<br />
sheer rock faces and lush forests. As our<br />
ship cruises through the narrow fjord, you<br />
may feel as if we are shrinking in size in<br />
comparison to the towering cliffs and<br />
mountains. This protected sound is one<br />
of three featured on itineraries.<br />
Phillip Island, Australia<br />
Few animals personify the Australian bush<br />
like the koala. Aside from a plethora of natural<br />
wonders like the Penguin Parade and<br />
the rugged offshore rock formations known<br />
locally as the “Nobbies,” Phillip Island is<br />
home to a huge koala preserve, where you<br />
can walk along an elevated boardwalk<br />
through the trees to get up close to these<br />
cuddly creatures.
Sydney, Australia<br />
Among the world’s most exciting cities,<br />
Sydney is home to dazzling beaches and<br />
the Sydney Opera House — an architectural<br />
marvel and one of the most recognizable<br />
performing arts venues in the world. For<br />
spectacular views of Sydney Harbour, take<br />
a walk across the Sydney Harbour Bridge.<br />
Or for great views in the water, stroll<br />
through the Sydney Aquarium’s underwater<br />
walkways.<br />
SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Sydney Sights,<br />
Opera House & Bondi Beach, Sydney Bridgeclimb<br />
and The Rocks<br />
celebritycruises.com/shoreex<br />
Tauranga, New Zealand<br />
Tauranga is located at the entrance to one<br />
of the largest natural harbors in New<br />
Zealand and nestled beside magnificent<br />
Mount Maunganui. Water activities are<br />
the highlight here for locals and visitors<br />
alike, with such perennial favorites as a<br />
ride on a jet boat, white-water rafting the<br />
Rangitaiki River, or just relaxing on the<br />
beach. As for encounters with the local<br />
scene on land, the Elms Mission House<br />
offers a close look at colonial architecture.<br />
SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Bush Jet Boat<br />
& Kiwifruit Farm, Rangitaiki Water Rafting<br />
Volcanic White Island,<br />
New Zealand<br />
(Scenic Cruising)<br />
Brace yourself for one of the most spectacular<br />
sights imaginable — one that can only be<br />
experienced from the air or water. As you cruise<br />
the Bay of Plenty, you’ll be greeted by New<br />
Zealand’s largest and most active volcano,<br />
stretching majestically from sea to sky. White<br />
Island, so named by Captain Cook after witnessing<br />
it shrouded in steam, is a private scenic<br />
reserve that is continually monitored by scientists<br />
due to its active nature. You, on the other<br />
hand, won’t be able to peel your eyes away from<br />
it due to its natural beauty.<br />

Australia Cruisetours<br />
Inland to the Outback.<br />
Our Australia cruisetours will bring you deep into the Australian Outback and up to the country’s<br />
famed North Coast. You’ll travel by air to the sacred Ayers Rock, known to the Aborigines as Uluru,<br />
a colossal sandstone monolith that dominates the desert skyline. From the top, the views of the<br />
Northern Territories are incredible. You’ll also fly to Cairns, which provides the jumping-off point<br />
for your snorkeling and boating encounters on the Great Barrier Reef, the most expansive and<br />
diverse marine ecosystem anywhere in the world. Covering over 132,000 square miles, it’s home<br />
to 30 species of whales, dolphins, and porpoises, six species of sea turtles, and more than 1,500<br />
species of fish. North of Cairns, Port Douglas represents a spectacular convergence of lush emerald<br />
and glittering sapphire, as the thriving rainforest there extends all the way to the shimmering sea.<br />
To ensure that you get the most out of every moment here, <strong>Celebrity</strong>’s Australia cruisetours are<br />
accompanied by an experienced Tour Director who will serve as both knowledgeable guide and<br />
personal concierge.<br />
An experienced Tour Director cuddles with a friendly native koala bear; Balancing Rock, New South Wales,<br />
Australia; life on the Great Barrier Reef.
Ayers Rock, Australia<br />
Located in central Australia, Ayers Rock,<br />
known as Uluru to the Aborigines, is the<br />
world’s largest monolith. During your<br />
cruisetour, you’ll visit the massive red rock<br />
that changes colors as the sun rises and<br />
sets, walk through the desert landscape<br />
on a guided tour, learn about Aboriginal<br />
culture, enjoy a barbecue dinner served<br />
in the desert, and take an astronomer-led<br />
tour of the southern night skies.<br />
Cairns, Australia<br />
Cairns is located in tropical North<br />
Queensland. To the north, west, and south,<br />
it is surrounded by lush, tropical rainforest.<br />
And to the east lies the Coral Sea and the<br />
Great Barrier Reef. Apart from being the<br />
gateway to magnificent natural attractions,<br />
this waterfront city offers an abundance of<br />
possibilities, including the opportunity to<br />
safely spot crocs.<br />
Australia Cruisetour Destinations<br />
Sydney, Australia<br />
Sydney, which serves as the beginning and<br />
end point of each cruisetour, is the state<br />
capital of New South Wales. The city’s<br />
focal point is the emerald-hued Sydney<br />
Harbour, where the famous Sydney Opera<br />
House displays its brilliant white “sails.”<br />
At night, take in the glittering views as the<br />
harbor reflects the lights of the Opera<br />
House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge and<br />
the skyscrapers around Circular Quay.<br />
Port Douglas, Australia<br />
The once-sleepy, now-bustling seaside village<br />
of Port Douglas is a hub for the Great Barrier<br />
Reef and rainforest coast. It has become an<br />
international holiday mecca, sharing the<br />
same tropical latitude as Tahiti. During your<br />
cruisetour, you’ll enjoy a full day of marine<br />
adventures with opportunities to swim,<br />
snorkel, and dive or view the reef from an<br />
underwater observatory.<br />

<strong>Celebrity</strong>’s South America
A South American cruise is a reminder of what explorers must have felt when they gazed upon some of the<br />
world’s most unspoiled terrain for the first time. It is a land romanticized by many, and tamed by only a few.<br />
You’re invited to discover nature in its most primordial state.<br />
A bird’s-eye view of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. 45
<strong>Celebrity</strong>’sSouth America<br />
A land of extremes,<br />
extremely inviting.<br />
There may be no other single continent on earth offering such a wide assortment of sensations. With a<br />
<strong>Celebrity</strong> cruise or cruisetour, you’ll sail through the Strait of Magellan, where the passage’s namesake<br />
fought the awesome forces of nature head on in his search for a route around the globe. You’ll travel to<br />
cities like Cartagena, Colombia, and Buenos Aires, Argentina, which radiate a distinctly cosmopolitan<br />
sophistication that you’ll find delightfully engaging. And you’ll make land at some of the world’s most<br />
isolated outposts, like Port Stanley in the Falkland Islands, where penguins outnumber human residents.<br />
Natural Wonders<br />
The South American coastal landscape exudes a<br />
rugged beauty unlike any other place. You’ll see<br />
nature’s majesty in the fjords off the Chilean coastline,<br />
which are backed by desert plateaus and the jagged<br />
Andes mountains, compared by some to the teeth<br />
of some great monster. You may pass through the<br />
Panama Canal, one of the world’s most captivating<br />
engineering wonders, as well as a haven for tropical
Llamas among the shadows of the Chilean mountains; plaza in Montevideo, Uruguay; the bright colors of a tropical toucan; interior of the Cathedral of Lima, Peru.<br />
wildlife, or sail around Cape Horn, a place early<br />
explorers mistook for the end of the world. You’ll<br />
watch seals, sea lions, orcas, and flocks of penguins<br />
cavort in the seas off Ushuaia, Argentina, Andean<br />
condors float effortlessly on thermals, and placid<br />
elephant seals wallow at the surf line. If you travel to<br />
the continent’s eastern side, you may feel compelled<br />
to follow suit, letting an afternoon idly drift by while<br />
you relax on some of the world’s most pristine beaches.<br />
Experience the Real South American Wildlife<br />
While there is no one defining South American<br />
landscape, there is a common thread of passion<br />
that runs through all of life here, one that you’ll<br />
experience at every port of call. Engage in the<br />
ultimate dance d’amour, the tango, in Buenos Aires,<br />
where its intricate steps were first taken, or do the<br />
cueca, Chile’s national dance of love, while in<br />
Valparaíso. In Rio de Janeiro, feel the contagious<br />
rhythms of the samba and bossa nova reverberate<br />
through the streets, long after the spectacle of<br />
Carnaval has come to an end.<br />
But not everything in South America is song and dance.<br />
A passion for people-watching dominates life in Punta<br />
del Este, a sanctuary for the rich and famous who flock<br />
here from throughout the Americas. And in Lima, an<br />
amazing fusion of past and present is on display, as the<br />
vivacity of modern Peruvian life gracefully intertwines<br />
with a wealth of Indian traditions.<br />
EXPERIENCES OF A LIFETIME<br />
Get the most out of your South America vacation, both on land and sea,<br />
with great cruisetour packages. See page 60-61 for details or visit<br />

the voyage taken by Magellan in<br />
his pursuit to circumnavigate the<br />
globe. Regardless of which itinerary<br />
you choose, you will be forever<br />
enriched by your time here<br />

South America Shore Excursions<br />
A lush continent of wonder<br />
awaits.<br />
You’re invited to come ashore — not just to look around, but to surround yourself with the essence of<br />
life. Take a tour of a Chilean winery near Puerto Montt, sampling estate vintages while relaxing in the<br />
shadows of a dormant volcano. See the past come to life in the Azapa Valley near Arica, Chile, where<br />
ancient geoglyphs still broadcast their mysterious messages. Or if you prefer to venture deeper into the<br />
backcountry, use Puerto Montt as a jumping-off point for a trip into the Patagonian wilderness, or go on<br />
a full-day trip to Machalilla National Park from Manta, Ecuador. The South American continent can<br />
amaze you in a myriad of ways.<br />
• Go on a Penguin Safari (Falkland Islands)<br />
• Volcanic Photo Expedition (Chile)<br />
• Visit a Working Estancia (Uruguay)<br />
• Sugar Loaf Mountain (Brazil)<br />
• Explore Underground Catacombs (Peru)<br />
• San Antonio Cultural Festival (Ecuador)<br />
Scenic tram ride in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Chile's Osorno Volcano; a day at the Juanicó Winery, Montevideo, Uruguay.<br />
EXPERIENCES OF A LIFETIME<br />
We suggest booking your shore excursions<br />
early. To view all shore excursion offerings and<br />
pricing, visit celebritycruises.com/shoreex.
Arica, Chile<br />
Arica is an oasis bordered by desert and<br />
fertile valleys fed by snowmelt from the<br />
Andes. Visit the Plaza Colón, Eiffel’s iron<br />
Cathedral of San Marcos, and the archeology<br />
museum in the nearby Azapa Valley, which<br />
houses relics dating back to 10,000 B.C.<br />
SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Arica & Ancient<br />
Cultures, Cuzco & Machu Picchu Adventure, Arica<br />
& Desert by Train & Bus<br />
Ports of Call<br />
Cartagena, Colombia<br />
The old city of Cartagena projects the<br />
feel of a picture-perfect Spanish colonial<br />
village, with cathedrals like Iglesia de Santo<br />
Domingo that dominate the skyline. Las<br />
Bóvedas, the old military dungeons, have<br />
been converted to shops, and the string of<br />
fortresses provide the perfect vantage<br />
points from which to enjoy the harbor.<br />
SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Deluxe<br />
Cartagena & Fortress, City Drive & La Popa<br />
Monastery<br />
Buenos Aires, Argentina<br />
If only one word could be used to describe<br />
this vibrant and richly cosmopolitan city, it<br />
would be “mosaic.” Stroll along these broad<br />
thoroughfares, listening to accents from<br />
dozens of European cities — from Milan<br />
to Madrid to Munich. The artful cultural<br />
melding found here is best exemplified by<br />
the national dance: the tango.<br />
SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Gaucho Fiesta<br />
& Lunch, Tango Show, Buenos Aires Highlights<br />
Chilean Fjords<br />
These are some of the most magnificent<br />
fjords in the world. As your eyes work<br />
their way up the jagged walls of mammoth<br />
glaciers, you may be rewarded with an<br />
Andean condor sighting. On the ocean’s<br />
surface, the Magellanic penguins always<br />
put on a good show.<br />
Cape Horn, Chile<br />
Tierra del Fuego, Land of Fire, is the most<br />
isolated place in the Americas and Cape<br />
Horn is its southernmost point. These<br />
rugged cliffs and windswept shores are<br />
stark, rugged beauty personified, creating<br />
a dramatic setting for the collision between<br />
the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.<br />
Fort Lauderdale, Florida<br />
Those who think Fort Lauderdale stands<br />
in the shadow of Miami are in for a very<br />
pleasant surprise. The city has matured<br />
into a gracious destination with sophisticated<br />
cuisine, nightclubs, and a personality all its<br />
own. The restaurants and shopping along<br />
Las Olas Boulevard and Himmarshee alone<br />
offer proof that Fort Lauderdale has blossomed<br />
into something truly special,<br />
all while retaining its youthful spirit.<br />
SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Everglades<br />
Airboat Ride (Offered on Day of Disembarkation)<br />

51
Fuerte Amador, Panama<br />
Like a sentry, this old fort stands guard<br />
over the Panama Canal’s entrance into<br />
the Pacific Ocean. From here you can<br />
venture into Panama City for shopping,<br />
sit and watch the incredible spectacle<br />
of huge ships making their way through<br />
the waterway, or take a side trip out to<br />
the idyllic islands that dot the mouth of<br />
the canal.<br />
Ports of Call<br />
Manta, Ecuador<br />
This port city affords the visitor unprecedented<br />
access to ancient Manta culture. A short<br />
jaunt from the port lies the Bahía de Manta.<br />
There you’ll find the Parque Nacional<br />
Machalilla, with its cloud forest, archeological<br />
sites, and colonies of nesting seabirds.<br />
SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Manta<br />
Highlights & Montecristi, Full Day to Machalilla<br />
National Park, San Antonio Cultural Festival<br />
La Serena (Coquimbo),<br />
Chile<br />
If you’re looking to steal a few tranquil<br />
moments, what better place than the city<br />
known as “The Serene One”? Its nearby<br />
pristine beaches come with powdery white<br />
sand and warm water. And Chile’s secondoldest<br />
city also offers quite a collection of<br />
cultural delights. Be sure to take in the<br />
stunning colonial architecture around the<br />
Plana de Armas and sample the region’s<br />
mouthwatering seafood.<br />
Montego Bay, Jamaica<br />
Take a walk up into the tropical hillsides<br />
overlooking Montego Bay and you can feel<br />
the port city’s energy rise to meet you.<br />
Players sit relaxed along sidewalks playing<br />
dominos, and thriving shopping arcades<br />
pulse with activity. No stop here would be<br />
complete without a visit to the worldfamous<br />
Doctor’s Cave Beach, which is fed<br />
by mineral springs.<br />
SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Jungle River<br />
Tubing, Appleton Estate Rum Tour, Essence of<br />
Montego Highlights<br />
Lima (Callao), Peru<br />
The cultural and economic heart of Peru,<br />
Lima once served as the seat of power for<br />
the Spanish Empire in South America. The<br />
catacombs beneath the Church of San<br />
Francisco are a sight to behold, as are the<br />
thousands of antique texts you’ll find in<br />
the adjoining monastery.<br />
SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Treasures of<br />
Colonial Lima, Peruvian Art & Museum Tour<br />
Montevideo, Uruguay<br />
Uruguay is cattle country, and although<br />
Montevideo is a thoroughly modern city<br />
with a rich artistic tradition, the reach of<br />
the rural estancias is all around you. If ever<br />
there were a time you were inclined to<br />
indulge, delicious steaks are the specialty<br />
of the house in virtually every restaurant.<br />
SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Day at the<br />
Estancia, Juanicó Winery, Full Day to Punta del<br />
Este
Ocho Rios, Jamaica<br />
Many visitors to Ocho Rios enjoy a hike up<br />
Dunn’s River Falls, with only the seductive<br />
rhythms of island reggae and knowledgeable<br />
guides accompanying you. On the way<br />
you’ll pass through a series of limestone<br />
steps hidden beneath the rushing water,<br />
stopping along the way for an occasional<br />
dip in one of the falls’ clear, terraced pools.<br />
SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Ocho Rios<br />
Highlights & Dunn’s River Falls, The Best of Ocho<br />
Rios, Original Canopy Tour<br />

Puerto Madryn, Argentina<br />
Extending out into the Atlantic from Puerto<br />
Madryn is the Península Valdés, a wildlife<br />
sanctuary where vast numbers of sea<br />
elephants, whales, and Magellanic penguins<br />
far outnumber the few human visitors who<br />
make it out this far.<br />
SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Península<br />
Valdés, Punta Loma & Welsh Tea in Gaiman<br />
Panama Canal, Panama<br />
The canal is a marvel of engineering, but<br />
it’s also a sanctuary. Caymans prowl its<br />
waters, while sloths move slowly through<br />
the trees. Harpy eagles rule the skies, gliding<br />
on thermals while searching for their next<br />
meal, and ocelots hunt along the rainforest<br />
floor. There are a thousand details awaiting<br />
observant wildlife enthusiasts, including<br />
the vibrantly colored toucan.<br />
Puerto Montt, Chile<br />
This coastal enclave lives and dies by the<br />
sea, as evidenced by the colorful fishnet<br />
floats that adorn the main cathedral’s altar,<br />
the dozens of salmon farms that thrive in<br />
the hidden bays, and the hundreds of fishing<br />
boats that venture out each dawn in search<br />
of ocean bounty.<br />
SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Osorno<br />
Volcano Photo Safari, Monteverde Farm & Nature<br />
Tour, Fly Fishing<br />
Port Stanley,<br />
Falkland Islands<br />
Commune with the roughly 2,000 intrepid<br />
souls who call this remote former whaling<br />
outpost home. As you hike through the<br />
rocky windswept landscape you may<br />
observe a few of the island’s flightless<br />
residents — including Magellanic penguins<br />
burrowing underground and rockhoppers<br />
carefully observing you from outcroppings.<br />
SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Bluff Cove<br />
Penguin Rookery, Stanley Highlights, Sparrow Cove<br />
Penguin Adventure<br />
Punta Arenas, Chile<br />
The southernmost point on the contiguous<br />
South American continent, Punta Arenas<br />
overlooks the Strait of Magellan and<br />
Otway Sound, home to colonies of sea<br />
lions and Magellanic penguins. It’s also<br />
one of the few places on earth where you<br />
can snow ski while looking out over an<br />
ocean.<br />
SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Punta Arenas<br />
City & Museum Tour<br />

53
Punta del Este, Uruguay<br />
If South America had purposely created<br />
a place to compete with the Riviera, this<br />
would be it. Carelessly browse through the<br />
chic shops and galleries of Calle Gorlero,<br />
or spend an idle afternoon people-watching<br />
from a beachside café while the assorted<br />
sun-lovers and jet-setters around you<br />
enjoy one of the continent’s most storied<br />
playgrounds.<br />
Ports of Call<br />
Ushuaia, Argentina<br />
No city on the planet has a more southerly<br />
latitude. As a result, the sun shines for 18<br />
hours during each summer day, providing<br />
ample opportunity to view the mix of glaciers,<br />
forests, and sea, all framed by Mount<br />
Martial to the west and Mounts Olivia and<br />
Cinco Hermanos to the east.<br />
SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Train Ride at<br />
the End of the World, Beagle Channel Navigation &<br />
National Park, Tierra Mayor Trekking<br />
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil<br />
Every step you take through these streets<br />
is set to the beat of pulsating samba<br />
rhythms. Feel the spirit of the costumed<br />
revelers, who during Carnaval weave<br />
through the winding streets under the<br />
watchful eye of Christ the Redeemer. Or<br />
travel by tram to the top of Sugar Loaf<br />
Mountain and view it all from above, letting<br />
the energetic vibe rise to meet you.<br />
SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Sugar Loaf &<br />
City Tour, Best of Rio, Corcovado & Tijuca Forest<br />
Valparaíso, Chile<br />
The picturesque neighborhoods of<br />
Valparaíso extend up into the hills<br />
overlooking the busy port and the<br />
Pacific Ocean beyond. To explore the<br />
churches and architectural landmarks<br />
that make this a World Heritage site,<br />
ride the acencors, a series of elevators<br />
that are over 100 years old.<br />
SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Santiago City<br />
Tour, Portillo Resort, Andes Mountains<br />
Strait of Magellan<br />
This 360-mile strait is named for the<br />
ambitious Portuguese explorer,<br />
Ferdinand Magellan, who sought a way<br />
to circumnavigate the globe. You’ll<br />
retrace his route as you make the only<br />
available crossing between the Atlantic<br />
and Pacific oceans, with the exception of<br />
the Panama Canal.<br />

What To Pack<br />
Preparing for your South America<br />
vacation.<br />
As you prepare for your adventure, remember that the dynamic<br />
environments you’ll be exploring, as well as your daily activities, call<br />
Packing*<br />
When packing, remember that even though it’s summer in the Southern<br />
Hemisphere, the weather can change dramatically in a very short time —<br />
from sunny and pleasant to breezy, cool, and misty, especially when you’re<br />
traveling so close to the South Pole. Ensure you’re prepared for any conditions.<br />
• Layers, including a sweater or fleece pullover, waterproof and windproof jacket, and knit shirts.<br />
When conditions change, you’ll appreciate having the ability to add or shed a layer.<br />
• Lightweight shorts and pants as well as both long-sleeve and short-sleeve shirts.<br />
• Comfortable pants and dress slacks.<br />
• Comfortable, sturdy walking shoes and warm socks.<br />
• Hat, sunglasses, and sunblock, as you’re going to be spending a majority of your days outdoors.<br />
Other Essentials<br />
Passport; camera, with extra film or memory cards; insect repellent for<br />
shore excursions; resealable plastic bags to prevent water damage to<br />
certain items; bathing suits; workout clothes; eveningwear.<br />

South America Cruisetours<br />
Become a South<br />
America insider.<br />
Like a great sentry, South America’s rugged coastline stands guard over a continent’s worth of<br />
secrets and surprises. To reach this stunning territory requires nothing more than a desire to see a<br />
more extraordinary side of life and passage on a <strong>Celebrity</strong> cruisetour. These itineraries will take you<br />
deep into Argentina’s gaucho country, where cowboy is spoken with a Spanish accent and the<br />
steaks are fresher than you could possibly imagine. You’ll experience the power of nature on full<br />
display while visiting the famed Iguazu Falls. Or walk where few men have, among the awe-inspiring<br />
moai of Easter Island, monolithic carvings fashioned from volcanic stone. To ensure that your<br />
South America adventure is as unforgettable as the scenery, each cruisetour will be accompanied<br />
by a Tour Director who is fluent in the local language and knowledgeable about local customs.<br />
There is truly no better way to become an insider here.<br />
Iguazu Falls on the border of Argentina and Brazil; Easter Island’s mysterious carvings; the ornate architecture<br />
of Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Buenos Aires, Argentina<br />
Perhaps the most cosmopolitan city in all of<br />
South America, Buenos Aires combines<br />
a European sophistication with a Latin<br />
passion. Stroll along the wide, palm treelined<br />
streets, like the Plaza de Mayo,<br />
where famed first lady Evita Perón led<br />
fervent crowds to petition for her husband’s<br />
release from prison, or visit Pirámide de<br />
Mayo, the oldest of the city’s many<br />
national monuments.<br />
Santiago, Chile<br />
Serving as both Chile’s capital city and its<br />
ceremonial heart, Santiago boasts some of<br />
South America’s most iconic architecture,<br />
embracing both Spanish and German roots.<br />
The Palacio de La Moneda is a sprawling<br />
complex that provides a rich contrast to its<br />
more modern surroundings, and the Bellas<br />
Artes Museum hosts many temporary and<br />
permanent collections.<br />
Iguazu Falls<br />
While the volume of water that travels<br />
over these falls is staggering, size and<br />
numbers alone don’t even begin to<br />
communicate the sheer power and<br />
intensity of this spectacle. Carefully<br />
built walkways allow you to venture<br />
into the middle of this massive cascade,<br />
marveling as the water explodes all<br />
around you.<br />
Valparaíso, Chile<br />
There is an elegant grace to this charming<br />
city, a poise that contrasts the continent’s<br />
more energetic metropolitan areas. Chile’s<br />
National Congress is here, as is its first public<br />
library and Latin America’s oldest stock<br />
exchange. The varied neighborhoods, each<br />
of which has its own unique character, are<br />
built on a series of hills that face the<br />
Pacific and are served by funicular elevators.<br />
Easter Island, Chile<br />
Located over 2,200 miles from Santiago, this<br />
outpost is more Polynesian than Chilean.<br />
Its most iconic feature is the collection of<br />
hundreds of stone carvings that can be found<br />
throughout the island’s coastline, some<br />
measuring over 30 feet high and weighing<br />
over 83 tons. Amazingly, many of these were<br />
transported dozens of miles with nothing<br />
more than ropes, pulleys, and manpower.<br />

<strong>Celebrity</strong>’s Panama Canal
<strong>Celebrity</strong>’sPanama Canal<br />
A man-made marvel filled<br />
with natural wonder.<br />
The Panama Canal didn’t just change the flow of two oceans, it changed the flow of commerce throughout<br />
two continents. While this engineering marvel had a huge impact on the history of the world, it’s had<br />
little impact on the natural world, and serves as a vast wildlife sanctuary whose many residents pay no<br />
mind to the ships that merely pass through. Life flourishes here, allowing the jungle to make inroads all<br />
the way down to the shoreline — so close you can hear macaws calling out and see monkeys scampering<br />
through the canopy. These encounters are what define <strong>Celebrity</strong> <strong>Cruises</strong>® canal voyages. Whether you’re<br />
reveling in the good times in Cabo San Lucas or dreamily letting quiet afternoons pass in Curaçao, you’ll<br />
find endless delight in the natural wonders that await you, both within the canal and on either side of it.<br />
An Engineering Escapade<br />
The Panama Canal represents nothing less than a<br />
stunning engineering feat of epic proportions.<br />
Stretching 50 miles between two oceans, it took<br />
eight years to complete and cost over $350 million,
A barge traverses the Panama Canal; a scarlet macaw; Embera wood carvings and basket; cliff diver in Acapulco, Mexico.<br />
what would be about $2.5 billion today. Over 230<br />
million cubic yards of earth had to be removed<br />
during construction and thousands of workers were<br />
involved in the process. However, as large as the<br />
task was, the impact has been even greater. About<br />
14,000 ships pass through the canal each year,<br />
carrying about 203 million tons of cargo. The passage<br />
takes about nine hours, as opposed to the 15 days<br />
it would take to navigate a ship the 8,000 miles<br />
around the tip of South America. Yet as impressive<br />
as the numbers themselves are, they seem to fade<br />
as your ship makes its way through this waterway.<br />
Capuchin and howler monkeys climb among the<br />
trees that come down to the shore, and nearly 1,000<br />
species of colorful birds call out from the branches<br />
and soar on the thermals that rise from the waters.<br />
The Panama Canal truly represents man and nature<br />
at their best.<br />
Life Beyond the Canal Zone<br />
Aside from the wonders of the canal itself, these<br />
voyages offer a wealth of possibilities. You may want<br />
to catch a breeze in Aruba while skimming over the<br />
waves on a windsurfer or venture inland from<br />
Puntarenas, Costa Rica, to catch a glimpse of the<br />
elusive jaguar. Feel free to succumb to the seductive<br />
rhythms of reggae in Montego Bay while snacking<br />
on fiery jerk chicken, or peruse more historical flavor<br />
on a casual stroll through the old city of Cartagena,<br />
Colombia. There are waves to be ridden off San Diego’s<br />
Windansea Beach and sun to be worshipped in Huatulco,<br />
Mexico. But most importantly, everywhere you go there<br />
is an abundance of beauty and excitement to be savored.<br />
EXPERIENCES OF A LIFETIME<br />
We suggest that you book your shore excursions early. To view all shore<br />
excursion offerings and pricing, visit celebritycruises.com/shoreex.<br />
With one staff member for every two guests, it’s no wonder <strong>Celebrity</strong><br />

towels upon returning from your shore excursions. So go ahead and enjoy<br />
your Panama Canal voyage and shore excursions to the fullest. We’re<br />

of a cascade you’ll ever see. Of course, there are the bright lights of exciting cities to explore, like<br />
San Diego, San Francisco, and Fort Lauderdale. There’s no telling how far a shore excursion can take you.<br />

Acapulco, Mexico<br />
Walk along the same beaches where<br />
pirates like Sir Francis Drake buried their<br />
ill-gotten gains, or stand back in awe as the<br />
famed clavadistas, or cliff divers, plunge<br />
into the depths from impossible heights.<br />
The liveliness of beach life carries straight<br />
into nightlife, as the city offers a dizzying<br />
array of late-night options.<br />

Highlights & Fort San Diego, Swim with Dolphins<br />
Ports of Call<br />
Catalina Island, California<br />
It’s less than 20 miles off the coast from<br />
Los Angeles, but Catalina Island is a world<br />
away from the city’s bright lights. Protected<br />
by the most stringent measures anywhere,<br />
this sanctuary is pure paradise. Boaters<br />
who make it out here find art deco<br />
architecture, quaint boutiques, and an<br />

One of the most popular ports of call<br />
found on our Panama itineraries, Cristobal<br />
is the perfect jumping-off point for the<br />
cities of Colón and Panama City.<br />
Colón, Panama<br />
A trip to Colón delivers you to the mouth<br />
of the Panama Canal on its eastern end. It<br />
also provides a glimpse of the world’s<br />
largest man-made lake, lying just beyond<br />
the Gatun Locks.<br />
Cartagena, Colombia<br />
The old city of Cartagena projects the feel<br />
of a picture-perfect, Spanish colonial village,<br />
with cathedrals like Iglesia de Santo<br />
Domingo that dominate the skyline. Las<br />
Bóvedas, the old military dungeons, have<br />
been converted to shops, and the string of<br />
fortresses provide the perfect vantage<br />
points from which to enjoy the harbor.<br />
SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Deluxe<br />
Cartagena & Fortress, Old City Walking Tour<br />
Fort Lauderdale, Florida<br />
Those who think Fort Lauderdale stands<br />
in the shadow of Miami are in for a very<br />
pleasant surprise. The city has matured<br />
into a gracious destination with sophisticated<br />
cuisine, nightclubs, and a personality all its<br />
own. The restaurants and shopping along<br />
Las Olas Boulevard and Himmarshee alone<br />
offer proof that Fort Lauderdale has<br />
blossomed into something truly special, all<br />
while retaining its youthful spirit.<br />

Fuerte Amador, Panama<br />
Like a sentry, this old fort stands guard<br />
over the Panama Canal’s entrance into the<br />
Pacific Ocean. From here you can venture<br />
into Panama City for shopping, sit and<br />
watch the incredible spectacle of huge<br />
ships making their way through the<br />
waterway, or take a side trip out to the<br />
idyllic islands that dot the mouth of the<br />
canal.<br />
Ports of Call<br />
Los Angeles, California<br />
Los Angeles is a city that defies easy<br />
descriptions. Whether you love browsing<br />
or buying on Rodeo Drive, dining in some<br />
of America’s best-known gourmet restaurants,<br />
or simply basking in the glow of Hollywood’s<br />
spotlights, you’ll find more than enough to<br />
fill your visit here.<br />
George Town,<br />
Grand Cayman<br />
Once a hideout for some of the most<br />
notorious pirates in history, Grand Cayman<br />
is now host to visitors eager to peer into<br />
the almost extraterrestrial world of Stingray<br />
City. National Geographic named swimming<br />
among the rays as one of the most rewarding<br />
experiences in the undersea world.<br />
SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Stingray City<br />
Adventure, Nautilus Undersea Tour & Reef<br />
Snorkel, Seaworld Explorer Glass-Bottom Boat<br />
Montego Bay, Jamaica<br />
Take a walk up into the tropical hillsides<br />
overlooking Montego Bay and you can feel<br />
the port city’s energy rise to meet you.<br />
Players sit relaxed along sidewalks playing<br />
dominoes, and thriving shopping arcades<br />
pulse with activity. No stop here would be<br />
complete without a visit to the worldfamous<br />
Doctor’s Cave Beach, which is fed<br />
by mineral springs.<br />
SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Jungle River<br />
Tubing, Appleton Estate Rum Tour, Essence of<br />
Montego Highlights<br />
Huatulco, Mexico<br />
If there were a beaten path in Mexico,<br />
Huatulco would be about as far from it as<br />
you could get. As you walk along one of<br />
30 beaches, many of them deserted, don’t<br />
forget to turn your gaze inland toward the<br />
lush jungle undergrowth that rises toward<br />
the majestic Sierra Madre del Sur.<br />
SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Huatulco Bike<br />
and Hike Tour, Five Bays Catamaran Cruise<br />
Oranjestad, Aruba<br />
While the Dutch originally settled this<br />
island paradise, the remnants of what they<br />
brought along are flavored with the essence<br />
of the Caribbean, an intermingling that<br />
extends to everything from the cuisine to<br />
the architecture. Don’t miss the charming<br />
boutiques and tropical gardens, that<br />
illustrate this European influence.<br />
SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Sailing &<br />
Snorkeling Tour, Aruba Sea & See Island Tour
Panama Canal, Panama<br />
The canal is a marvel of engineering, but it’s<br />
also a sanctuary. Caymans prowl its waters,<br />
while sloths move slowly through the trees.<br />
Harpy eagles rule the skies, gliding on thermals<br />
while searching for their next meal, and<br />
ocelots hunt along the rainforest floor. There<br />
are a thousand details awaiting observant<br />
wildlife enthusiasts, including the vibrantly<br />
colored toucan.<br />

The Galapagos Islands
<strong>Celebrity</strong>Xpedition®<br />
Cultivate your sense<br />
of wonder.<br />
<strong>Celebrity</strong> <strong>Cruises</strong>® offers a one-of-a-kind experience on <strong>Celebrity</strong> Xpedition to one of the earth’s<br />
most precious archipelagos, the Galapagos Islands. With a focus on personal enrichment and ecological<br />
conservation, this journey not only introduces you to the creatures that inspired Charles Darwin’s theory<br />
of evolution, but also invites you to be a part of their future by participating in preservation efforts.<br />
Aboard <strong>Celebrity</strong> Xpedition<br />
With fewer than 100 guests per sailing, a 2-to-1+ guest<br />
to-staff ratio, and many of the amenities you would<br />
expect, <strong>Celebrity</strong> Xpedition offers a truly intimate<br />
encounter with the Galapagos Islands year-round.<br />
As the only major cruise line sailing these waters,<br />
<strong>Celebrity</strong> <strong>Cruises</strong> offers touches of the familiar, such<br />
as complimentary plush Frette® bathrobes, hot tub,<br />
sauna, and fitness room — and our lounge, featuring<br />
nightly lectures by naturalists and live music. This<br />
cruise is all-inclusive, from staff gratuities to all shore
Blue feet of a Blue-footed Booby; a helping hand aboard a Zodiac excursion; Xpedition Suite.<br />
excursions. What’s more, you’ll have the comfort of<br />
knowing that while your Galapagos experience will<br />
touch you in unimagined ways, you’ll sail this<br />
itinerary on a ship ecologically designed to leave<br />
the islands virtually untouched.<br />
Cruising the Galapagos Islands<br />
During your journey, you’ll voyage more than 600<br />
miles from the coast of Ecuador to cruise through<br />
islands so isolated they contain over 1,900 species<br />
of plants and animals that cannot be found<br />
anywhere else on the planet. And once you’re<br />
there, you’ll be delighted by the approachability<br />
of the creatures you’ll see. Having lived thousands<br />
of years without fear of predators, they’re as<br />
interested in you as you are in them.<br />
Continuing Your Exploration<br />
For a seamless <strong>Celebrity</strong> experience, you can start<br />
and end your trip in Quito, Ecuador, with a pre- and<br />
post-cruise package. This 10-night Galapagos<br />
experience includes a fully guided Quito tour, your<br />
Galapagos cruise, transportation (including round-trip<br />
air from Quito to Galapagos) and <strong>Celebrity</strong> concierge<br />
service. You’ll also have the rare opportunity of<br />
combining your Galapagos cruise with a four-night<br />
best of Ecuador and Peru post-cruise tour. During<br />
your journey, knowledgeable guides will lead you<br />
through Peru’s well-preserved archeological sites,<br />
including Lima, Cuzco, the Sacred Valley,<br />
Ollantaytambo, and Machu Picchu.<br />

you, the trip has been designed so<br />
that we will have a minimal impact<br />
on the environment, ensuring that<br />
generations of animals, and human<br />
visitors, can enjoy this special place<br />
for decades to come.<br />

Saturday QUITO, ECUADOR<br />
During a guided tour of the capital of Ecuador,<br />
situated at an altitude of 9,350 feet, you’ll stand<br />
on the equatorial line at the Half of the World Park<br />
and Museum, and marvel at the monasteries of<br />

will escort you throughout your Quito stay, offering<br />
an uninterrupted experience from your cruise, and<br />
serve as your personal concierge.<br />
Day 3<br />
Sunday ISLA BALTRA<br />
(Cruise Departure)<br />
Your <strong>Celebrity</strong> representative will escort you from<br />
the Quito airport all the way to Isla Baltra in the<br />
Galapagos. At the airport, enjoy refreshments in the<br />
Royal Palm VIP Lounge, which has been reserved for<br />
you. During World War II, the island’s airport was a<br />
U.S. military base protecting the Panama Canal from<br />
enemy attack. Now, surrounding the airport are land<br />
iguanas indigenous to the island. Your luggage will be<br />
delivered straight to your stateroom aboard <strong>Celebrity</strong><br />
Xpedition, so you can unpack and enjoy exploring the<br />
296-foot megayacht, your home for the week.<br />
Sunday Afternoon ISLA NORTH SEYMOUR<br />
Isla North Seymour is home to a thriving colony<br />
of frigate birds, the largest in the Galapagos. Keep<br />
an eye on the males’ red gular sac, which may inflate<br />
like a balloon in anticipation of a female seeing them.<br />
You may also encounter breeding pairs of Blue-footed<br />
Boobies displaying their slow mirror dance or spot<br />
numerous iguanas and sea lions. Your afternoon<br />
excursion options include a dry landing with guided<br />
hike, a Zodiac coastline cruise with dry landing and<br />
short hike, or a scenic Zodiac coastline cruise to view<br />
geological formations. Later onboard, your captain<br />
welcomes you with a toast and a naturalist briefs you<br />
on the next day’s activities (offered nightly).<br />
Day 4<br />
Monday Morning PUERTO BAQUERIZO<br />
MORENO, ISLA SAN CRISTÓBAL<br />
Located on one of the four islands that Charles<br />
Darwin visited aboard the HMS Beagle, this<br />
administrative capital of the Galapagos features<br />
cobblestone streets and a pleasant waterfront<br />
park. In early morning, we’ll circumnavigate Kicker<br />
Rock, known as the Galapagos version of Gibraltar,<br />
and you may take a Zodiac cruise to the rock for<br />
closer observation. After breakfast, your morning<br />
excursion options include a dry landing for shopping<br />
and a visit to an interpretation center covering human<br />
history and conservation of the Galapagos archipelago.<br />
Monday Afternoon PUNTA SUÁREZ,<br />
ISLA ESPAÑOLA<br />
Punta Suárez, or Suárez Point, is located on the oldest<br />
Galapagos island and has a high concentration of<br />
wildlife. Expect to observe sea lions, Galapagos<br />
hawks, blue-footed and masked boobies, and red<br />
marine iguanas, strange creatures found only on<br />
this island. This afternoon, you may attend the first<br />
of our <strong>Celebrity</strong> Xpedition Lecture Series onboard<br />
to learn more about the islands’ geology. Afternoon<br />
excursions offer three different levels of activity,<br />
including a high-intensity hike (follow the trail to<br />
the very edge of the dramatic southern cliff, where<br />
an impressive blowhole gushes water up to 20<br />
meters in the air).

Day 5<br />
Tuesday Morning CORMORANT POINT,<br />
ISLA FLOREANA<br />
Isla Floreana was once a penal colony for Ecuador,<br />
the first capital of the Galapagos and where<br />
Charles Darwin met the Galapagos viceroy. Your<br />
excursion options include a medium-intensity wet<br />
landing at Cormorant Point (or Punta Cormorant),<br />
where you may see two plant species found only<br />
at this particular site, as well as flamingos, stilts,<br />
and white-cheeked pintail ducks. Or try advanced<br />
snorkeling to Champion Island to spy grunts,<br />
groupers, chubs, spotted eagle rays, white-tipped reef<br />
sharks, sea stars, parrotfish, and rainbow wrasse.<br />
Tuesday Afternoon BARONESS OUTLOOK,<br />
ISLA FLOREANA<br />
Baroness Outlook lends a little mystery to Isla<br />
Floreana as the spot where a self-proclaimed<br />
Baroness, who inexplicably disappeared with her<br />
lover in the 1930s, kept watch for incoming ships.<br />
Afternoon excursions include advanced snorkeling<br />
at Mystery Bay and a low-intensity Zodiac ride for<br />
wildlife observation. When the stars come out, join<br />
us for an alfresco dinner and stargazing with our<br />
bridge officers.<br />
Day 6<br />
Wednesday Morning LAS BACHAS,<br />
ISLA SANTA CRUZ<br />
The name “Las Bachas” comes from the locals’ poor<br />
English pronunciation of “barges” to describe the<br />
WWII barges that broke free from their moorings and<br />
ran aground on this beach. A pair of beach lagoons<br />
occasionally host flamingos feeding in the shallows.<br />
And the beach itself is one of the largest nesting<br />
areas of the Pacific green sea turtle in the Galapagos.<br />
Morning excursions include a wet landing and hike to<br />
view flamingos, followed by an opportunity to swim<br />
from the beach, and a wet landing at the beach for a<br />
few hours of relaxation.<br />
Wednesday Afternoon ISLA BARTOLOMÉ<br />
A recently volcanically active island, Isla Bartolomé<br />
has a moon-like landscape and volcanic cones. Before<br />
we anchor, attend today’s lecture about the Human<br />
History of the Galapagos Archipelago. Afternoon<br />
excursions include a “To the Top” Pinnacle Rock hike<br />
and beach snorkel/swim and a coastal exploration<br />
Zodiac cruise with an optional beach landing. The<br />
view from the top of Pinnacle Rock is perhaps the<br />
most famous in the Galapagos, with the opportunity<br />
to see up to 26 islands if visibility allows. On the beach,<br />
watch for Galapagos penguins, some of the smallest<br />
penguins in the world.<br />
Day 7<br />
Thursday Morning ELIZABETH BAY,<br />
ISLA ISABELA<br />
Isla Isabela, the largest island in the Galapagos<br />
Archipelago, is composed of five volcanoes, with the<br />
latest eruption occurring in October 2005. The cold,<br />
nutrient-rich waters of Elizabeth Bay and the small<br />
Mariela Islands provide the perfect home for the<br />
Galapagos penguin. This morning, you may opt for a<br />
scenic Zodiac ride to view the Mariela Islands and<br />
Galapagos penguins. Then back onboard the ship,<br />
we’ll spend some time cruising along the scenic<br />
Isabela and Fernandina islands to search for whales<br />
and dolphins.<br />
Thursday Afternoon PUNTA ESPINOZA,<br />
ISLA FERNANDINA<br />
Isla Fernandina is the youngest Galapagos island due<br />
to its volcanic activity. As Darwin wrote, it is “covered<br />
with immense deluges of black naked lava.” During the<br />
afternoon excursions, hike along Punta Espinoza to view<br />
several sea lion colonies, the largest colony of marine<br />
iguanas and a nesting area for flightless cormorants.<br />
Or enjoy a low-intensity journey into the Bolivar Channel<br />
searching for pelagic bird species and possibly whales<br />
and dolphins, with an optional landing for closer<br />
observation.<br />

ISLA SANTIAGO (SAN SALVADOR)<br />
Puerto (Port) Egas on San Salvador Island, also<br />
called James or Santiago Island, offers the most<br />
popular walk along James Bay on a black-sand<br />
beach. On the trail, look for oystercatchers,<br />
marine iguanas, sandpipers, Galapagos hawks,<br />
Sally lightfoot crabs, and Galapagos and fur sea<br />
lions. Excursion options include a high-intensity<br />
“Survival of the Fittest” hike with swimming/<br />
snorkeling at the beach, a high-intensity coastal<br />
walk followed by swimming/snorkeling, and a<br />
low-intensity landing for relaxing on the beach or<br />
swimming and snorkeling.<br />
Friday Afternoon DRAGON HILL,<br />
ISLA SANTA CRUZ<br />
Dragon Hill, or “Cerro Dragón,” is named after<br />
its population of land iguanas. The site offers a<br />
beautiful view of the landscape and two small<br />
brackish lagoons where flamingos and other shore<br />
birds occasionally feed. Along the trail, we’ll cross<br />
a beautiful “white forest” of Palo Santo (incense)<br />
trees and Galapagos cotton plants. Excursion<br />
options include a high-intensity hike with swimming/<br />
snorkeling at the beach, high-intensity snorkeling<br />
from a Zodiac followed by a short walk, and a<br />
low-intensity landing for relaxing on the beach or<br />
swimming and snorkeling.<br />

Saturday PUERTO AYORA, ISLA SANTA CRUZ<br />
Puerto (Port) Ayora is home to the Charles Darwin<br />
Research Station and the National Park Service.<br />

preservation and try for a lucky peek at Lonesome<br />
George, the last member of the Pinta Island species.<br />

Tortuga Bay hike and lagoon swim, a bus ride to the<br />
highlands to observe giant tortoises in the wild and<br />
a visit to the Charles Darwin Research Station, all<br />

ship. Onboard, enjoy a farewell cocktail party and<br />
folkloric show with the captain and a barbecue<br />
dinner under the stars.<br />
Sunday Morning ISLA BALTRA<br />
Cruise Disembarkation<br />
Your round-trip Galapagos cruise brings you back<br />
to Isla Baltra, home to the Baltra airport. If<br />
