Celebrity’s Hawaii and Pacific Islands

Celebrity’sHawaii & Pacific Islands 

Islands of bliss and a 

voyage of discovery. 

These islands were born of volcanic fire, sculpted by wind and water, and warmed by an inviting 

spirit known as aloha in Hawaii, ngãkau aroa in the Cook Islands, and whãnu by the Maoris — a 

hospitality you’ll feel as you navigate through the Pacific on a Celebrity cruise. We’ll bring you close 

to Mount Kilauea, so you can see how it makes the formation of Hawaii’s Big Island an ongoing saga. 

We’ll introduce you to the serenity of the rain forest near Rarotonga and the spectacular underwater 

abundance of fish in the lagoons off Bora Bora. And we’ll help you experience the embrace of 

island life at every stop along the way. 

A Hawaiian Paradise 

A Hawaiian cruise offers a wealth of possibilities. A 

stop on the bustling island of Oahu takes you through 

cosmopolitan Honolulu, a city built on a foundation of 

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. 

country in Asia. Within the city limits you’ll find 

breathtaking beaches, like Waikiki, as well as the 

Diamond Head Volcano, whose iconic silhouette 

dominates the skyline. The dormant Haleakala 

Volcano on Maui rises 10,000 feet to the heavens, 

and its peak is frequently blanketed in snow. On its 

slopes, the rich volcanic soils host huge plantations 

growing coffee, pineapples, sugarcane, and taro, a 

staple of the local diet. And then there is the simmering 

Big Island, a study in stark contrasts. In a single day 

you can watch as the steady breezes and rolling 

waves create the perfect playground for kite surfers 

and sailboarders; venture inland at Hilo to explore 

Rainbow Falls, the island’s most spectacular cascade; 

or get a sense of this world’s first chapters in Hawaii 

Volcanoes National Park, as you tread across a barren 

lava landscape that still radiates the warmth it 

brought forth from the earth’s molten core. 

Many Islands, Many Faces 

Venture from Hawaii out into the Pacific and the 

rewards of your voyage defy easy description. In 

Papeete, Tahiti, you can experience the bliss of 

South Seas serenity, or shop for exotic bargains in the 

Marché Papeete, the capital’s bustling marketplace. In 

Moorea, float in the emerald lagoons that slowly give 

way to the azure waters of the Pacific, or climb Mt. Rotui, 

an endeavor that will reward you with spectacular views 

of Opunohu Bay. In Kiribati, you’ll be amazed by the profusion 

of wildlife, as well as stone ruins that date back to the 

15th century. And on Rarotonga, relax to the island’s 

laid-back cadence, or go shopping using one of the 

world’s only $3 bills. 

EXPERIENCES OF A LIFETIME 

Get the most out of your Hawaiian and Pacific Islands vacation, both on 

land and sea, with informative shore excursions. See our ports of call on 

pages 21-23 for details. 

We suggest that you book your shore excursions early. To view all shore 

excursion offerings and pricing, visit celebritycruises.com/shoreex. 

With one staff member for every two guests, it’s no wonder Celebrity 

delivers attentive service, offering such treats as complimentary chilled 

towels upon returning from your shore excursions. So go ahead and enjoy 

your Hawaii and Pacific Islands voyage and shore excursions to the 

fullest. We’re ready to serve you every step of the way.

Hawaii and 

Pacific Islands 

Following in the wake of legendary 

explorers like James Cook, 

Celebrity’s voyages of discovery 

will give you the chance to fully 

absorb the serene beauty of these 

island outposts — beyond the 

tranquil beaches and into the 

intricacies of island life. Because 

of the distances involved, you’ll also 

have ample time at sea to become 

acquainted with the many amenities 

of your ship and the attentive staff 

who will see to your needs. There 

truly is no more enchanting place 

than these Pacific Islands and no 

better way to experience them 

than Celebrity Cruises®.

Hawaii & Pacific Islands Shore Excursions 

Life begins beyond 

the beach. 

The fact that each of these islands is encircled by the majestic waters of the Pacific makes beach 

activities an inviting part of any cruise vacation. But don’t let the hypnotic waters keep you tethered 

to the sand. Spend a moment standing in hushed, respectful silence at Pearl Harbor as you pay 

tribute to the sailors of the USS Arizona who lost their lives on that infamous morning in 1941. 

Take a shore excursion from Hilo to Akaka Falls, watching the waters plunge a dramatic 400 feet 

toward the ocean. Venture out to sea from Papeete and try to hook a combative game fish, like 

mahi-mahi or marlin, or observe migrating humpback whales off the Maui coast. There is virtually 

no limit to the breadth and depth of what awaits you here.

• Attend a Luau (Oahu)

We suggest booking your shore excursions 

early. To view all shore excursion offerings and 

pricing, visit celebritycruises.com/shoreex.


The “City of Sails,” known for its sparkling 

waters, bustling harbor, and cosmopolitan 

flair, is an ideal spot for water sports and 

sailing. A total of 48 dormant volcanoes are 

situated within Auckland, making it a lush, 

leafy city that’s perhaps best viewed from the 

360-degree observation platform atop the 

1,076 ft. Sky Tower. At ground level, visit the 

city’s renowned art galleries and stroll through 

the beautiful, expansive parks. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Auckland City, 

Harbour Highlights & Airport Drop-Off (Offered on 

Day of Disembarkation) 

Ports of Call 


The Riviera Pacifica, with the Bar of the 

Seven Sins, boasts a colorful past as the 

former playgrounds of California gentry and 

movie stars. Festive shops and a former 

prison that now serves as an Aztec 

museum are just a few highlights of this 

Baja Peninsula favorite. 

Bay of Islands, 

New Zealand 

Surrounded by beaches considered some of 

the best in the world, with perfect white sand 

and crystal-clear water, Bay of Islands is home 

to the Waitangi National Reserve and known 

as the Birthplace of a Nation. Many consider 

this the ideal place to try out an active 

pastime or two, such as kayaking, sailing, 

and swimming with dolphins. Or, if beach 

relaxation is what you’re after, pull up a 

lounge chair and soak in the surroundings. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Tucker Thompson 

Tall Ship Sailing Experience 

Kiritimati (Christmas Island), 

Republic of Kiribati 

Discovered by Captain Cook in 1777, this 

tiny atoll was largely ignored by the rest 

of the world for 100 years, with the first 

permanent settlement established in 1882. 

Today, this untouched paradise remains 

uncrowded and unhurried. The most populated 

areas of the island are the bird sanctuary 

and the lagoons, known by anglers worldwide 

for the exceptional bonefishing. 

Bora Bora, 

French Polynesia 

With white-sand beaches and valleys covered 

in hibiscus blossoms, Bora Bora offers the 

ultimate in island relaxation and active water 

pursuits. Its colorful coral reef and lagoon are 

home to thousands of tropical fish, while its 

land-based shops offer some of the world’s 

best black pearls and locally made pareus and 

straw hats. Its signature landmark is tombstone-shaped 

Mount Otemanu, which towers 

over the island at 2,379 feet. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Glass-Bottom 

Boat Lagoonarium Experience 

Hilo, Hawaii 

Located on the lush coast of the Big Island, 

Hilo is home to two of the most spectacular 

waterfalls in all of creation: Rainbow Falls 

in the south and the mammoth Akaka Falls 

in the north. Hilo is also home to Volcanoes 

National Park and the imposing Kilauea 

Volcano. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Hilo & Kilauea 

Volcano, Hilo Bay Waterfall Kayak, Circle of Fire & 

Waterfalls Helicopter Flightseeing 


21

Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii 

Cosmopolitan Honolulu offers hundreds of 

attractions and points of interest for the 

ambitious sightseer. From Pearl Harbor to 

Iolani Palace (one of the only royal palaces 

on American soil), you’ll enjoy exploring 

this city, which seems to rise up out of the 

lush Hawaiian flora. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Swim with 

the Dolphins, USS Arizona Memorial & City 

Sightseeing, Polynesian Cultural Center 

Ports of Call 

Kauai (Nawiliwili), Hawaii 

Although one of the smallest of the 

Hawaiian islands, Kauai is a paradise of 

large proportions. Along the Lihue Kalapaki 

coast, you can visit Wailua Falls, which 

served as the backdrop of the old television 

series Fantasy Island. This paradise, with its 

miles of beaches and attractions such as 

the Fern Grotto, will fulfill your own fantasies 

of what a perfect vacation spot should be. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Wailua River 

Cruise & Fern Grotto, Hollywood in Hawaii — 

Movies and Waterfalls 

International Dateline 

This imaginary line, which runs roughly 

parallel to the 180° longitudinal line, 

represents where each day begins and 

ends. As you travel east you’ll subtract 

24 hours from your current time, and you 

will add 24 hours as you travel west 

across it. The need for such a line was 

first discovered by Magellan in the early 

16th century and the fact that one could 

either gain or lose a day caused much 

excitement at the time, so much so that 

navigators were summoned by the Pope 

to explain the phenomenon. 

Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii 

The most prominent feature of Maui is 

Haleakala, the world’s largest dormant 

volcano. And from the historic town of 

Lahaina, you might also witness of one 

nature’s greatest spectacles: the annual 

migration of humpback whales returning 

to their winter feeding grounds, which 

takes place between December and March. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Maui Whale 

Watch, Hana & Haleakala Helicopter Exploration, 

Haleakala Crater 

Kailua-Kona, Hawaii 

This was once the seat of power from 

which the great King Kamehameha 

ruled his island empire. Located on the 

picturesque Kona Coast, where some of 

the world’s best coffee is harvested, 

Kailua-Kona is close to the marine 

sanctuary of Kealakekua Bay. This 

snorkeling haven is also home to the 

Captain Cook Monument. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Deep-Sea 

Fishing, Kona Cloud Forest Botanical Walk, Kohala 

Waterfalls Adventure 

Moorea, 


Moorea is a unique volcanic island surrounded 

by languid lagoons and both white- and 

black-sand beaches. Often associated with 

James Michener’s imaginary island of Bali 

Hai, Moorea is the epitome of paradise. 

View tapa-cloth-making and other traditional 

French Polynesian handicrafts at the Tiki 

Village Theatre, built to resemble ancient 

villages that once graced the islands. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Lagoon Discovery 

with Snorkeling, Circle Island Tour & Belevedere

Mount Kilauea, Hawaii 

(Scenic Cruising) 

The Big Island has grown over 500 acres, 

thanks to the active nature of Mount 

Kilauea, Hawaii’s youngest volcano. This 

molten masterpiece also happens to be one 

of the world’s most active and likes to show 

off when the sun goes down. You’ll have a 

front-row seat to this nighttime spectacle, 

watching as the fiery lava flows blaze down 

the mountainside as your cruise ship glides 

by. You’ll never think of fireworks the same 

way again.

Originally settled by a contingent of 

Franciscan friars in the mid-18th century, 

San Diego has flourished to become one of 

America’s largest and most attractive cities. 

Bordered by the Anza-Borrego Desert, the 

Laguna Mountains, and the Pacific Ocean, it’s 

blessed with a year-round Mediterranean 

climate, which only adds to the attraction 

of its 70 miles of beaches. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: San Diego and 

La Jolla Highlights with Airport Drop-Off (Offered 

on Day of Disembarkation) 

Papeete, Tahiti, 


The capital city of French Polynesia’s largest 

island, Papeete is a hot spot noted for chic 

shopping and the cultural beauty that 

inspired artist Paul Gauguin. You can view 

works that recapture his life in French 

Polynesia at Musée Gauguin and perhaps 

even find colorful pareus — like the ones 

worn by his beautiful models in his 

impressionistic masterpieces — at 

the busy Marché Municipale. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: In Paul 

Guaguin’s Footsteps, Tahiti Island Tour 


Tauranga is located at the entrance to one 

of the largest natural harbors in New 

Zealand and is nestled beside magnificent 

Mount Maunganui. Water activities are the 

highlight here for locals and visitors alike, 

with such perennial favorites as a ride on a 

jet boat, white-water rafting the Rangitaiki 

River, or just relaxing on the beach. As for 

encounters with the local scene on land, the 

Elms Mission House offers a close look at 

colonial architecture. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Bush Jet Boat & 

Kiwifruit Farm, Rangitaiki Water Rafting 

Rarotonga, Cook Islands 

The vibrant capital of the Cook Islands is 

marked by a dense tropical rainforest that 

surrounds the volcanic pinnacle Te Rua 

Manga (“the needle”) and deep lagoons 

filled with black pearls. Snorkeling, shopping, 

and sightseeing opportunities abound here. 

And several jewelry shops specializing in 

black pearls just may tempt you to bring 

home a dazzling orb of paradise. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Circle Island 

Tour, Muri Lagoon Cruise, Pa’s Nature Walk

Canada and the country’s third largest 

city, Vancouver is the Canadian jewel 

of Puget Sound. From the cobblestone

Celebrity’s Australia and New Zealand

Celebrity’sAustralia & New Zealand 

Down under, above 

and beyond. 

Tucked into their own corner of the world, Australia and New Zealand have cultivated their own identities. 

Their European beginnings can be found everywhere, but those origins are seasoned by unmistakable 

Aboriginal and Maori roots, giving life an exotic timbre. A Celebrity cruise or cruisetour can help you 

discover every nuance. You’ll find a surprisingly international vibe in Melbourne, with traditional 

Australian culture generously flavored by its Chinese, Italian, and Greek ethnic enclaves, making life here 

an enchanting melting pot. See wildlife at its most abundant on the Great Barrier Reef or at its most 

eclectic in New Zealand. Only Celebrity Cruises® can introduce you to everything that makes this place 

a world unto itself. We’ll show you why “g’day” isn’t just a salutation, it’s a preview of what awaits. 

Spectacular Redefined 

Australia and New Zealand are filled with icons — both 

natural and manmade. The Sydney Opera House, the 

world’s most recognizable venue, rules the Australian 

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 

Aborigine playing the didgeridoo. 

the active Volcanic White Island creates its own 

visual impact, while the fjords of Dusky Sound can 

be found eerily cloaked in morning mists, fed by 

rivers that tumble over the soaring cliffs. You may 

get a look at exotic native marine species in New 

Zealand’s National Aquarium in Napier, or watch 

local surfers ride the waves in Newcastle, Australia, 

as you soak in the scene from the comfort of the 

Ocean Baths. As we enter Doubtful Sound, watch 

for fur seals and bottlenose dolphins playing in the 

waters, or gaze in wonder at the nightly Penguin 

Parade on Australia’s Summerland Beach. 

Get into Australia 

While the portion of the Australian coast we visit 

by ship represents untold visual riches, if you were 

to limit your Australian exploration solely to these 

shores you would only be hearing a tiny portion of 

the story. The interior is a vast place with points of 

interest so remote that many are accessible only by 

aircraft. Our fully escorted Australian cruisetours 

have been created to seamlessly dovetail with our 

cruise vacations, creating the kind of seamless, 

comprehensive experience that only Celebrity Cruises 

can deliver. From the mythical Ayers Rock to the Great 

Barrier Reef, we’ll show you parts of this country that 

even some Australians have never seen. And through 

it all you’ll be accompanied by a knowledgeable Tour 

Director, whose intimate familiarity with all things 

Australian will paint a vividly detailed picture of this 

amazing place. 


Get the most out of your Australia and New Zealand vacation, both on 

land and sea, with great cruisetour packages. See page 42 for details or

else in the world. From the Great 

Barrier Reef to the fjords of the 

Te Wahipounamu World Heritage 

Site, these cruises and cruisetours 

will take you through these countries’ 

coasts and interiors, infusing you 

with memories that will stay with

Australia & New Zealand Shore Excursions 

Head inland, go local. 

At each stop along our Australia and New Zealand voyages, you’ll discover an abundance of enticing 

possibilities. Take a hiking trip through the rainforest or tour the elegant historic districts of 

Melbourne or Wellington. If you’d rather commune with the endless assortment of wildlife, there 

are ample opportunities for that as well. Our shore excursions can bring you up close to all the 

things that make life here such a never-ending kaleidoscope of sensations. From the Waitomo 

Glowworm Caves, whose walls come alive with luminescence, to the Larnach Castle, where you’ll 

feel the past come to life, there really is something for everyone here. Sip estate vintages in Newcastle 

or Napier, take a scenic train ride through the Taieri River Gorge, or maybe just watch penguins 

make their merry way toward the sea. When it comes to enchantment, these places want for nothing.

Akaroa, New Zealand 

While both the British and French have at 

one time vied for ownership of this 

spectacular South Island outpost, the 

harbor has a far more tumultuous origin. 

It was actually formed by the eruption of 

two volcanoes, which left a massive crater 

that connects to the sea. Although the 

scenery is pure New Zealand, much of the 

architecture retains its French inflection. 

Ports of Call 

Doubtful Sound, 

New Zealand 


Doubtful Sound is unusual in that it has 

two distinct layers of water: fresh mountain 

water atop cold, heavy saline water, teeming 

with remarkable deep-sea species. Keep 

your eyes peeled for bottlenose dolphins, 

fur seals and two types of penguins — the 

Fiordland crested and blue. This scenic 

sound in Fiordland National Park is one of 

three featured on itineraries. 


The “City of Sails,” known for its sparkling 

waters, bustling harbor, and cosmopolitan 

flair, is an ideal spot for water sports and 

sailing. A total of 48 dormant volcanoes are 

situated within Auckland, making it a lush, 

leafy city that’s perhaps best viewed from 

the 360-degree observation platform atop 

the 1,076 ft. Sky Tower. At ground level, visit 

the city’s renowned art galleries and stroll 

through the beautiful, expansive parks. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Auckland City, 

Harbour Highlights & Airport Drop-Off (Offered 

on Day of Disembarkation) 

Dunedin, New Zealand 

With dramatic scenery and some of the 

finest historic buildings in New Zealand, 

Dunedin proudly displays its Scottish 

roots. In fact, it’s a great place to shop for 

kilts and haggis. The city is also home to 

New Zealand’s only castle, a 15-year construction 

endeavor complete with the only 

staircase of its kind in the Southern 

Hemisphere and magnificent woodwork. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Dunedin 

Highlights, Dunedin City Heritage Tour 

Christchurch, 

New Zealand 

New Zealand’s “Garden City” features many 

parks as well as Victorian architecture, avenues, 

and squares. Situated within 459-acre Hagley 

Park, the 57-acre Christchurch Botanic 

Gardens features some of New Zealand’s 

oldest trees, while at the center of town is 

Christchurch Cathedral, a stunning example 

of Gothic Revival architecture. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Christchurch & 

Countryside, Orana Wildlife Park & Scenic Gondola 

Ride 

Dusky Sound, 

New Zealand 


The largest and most complex of the many 

fjords along this coast, Dusky Sound boasts 

steep cliffs and hundreds of cascading 

waterfalls. Direct your attention toward the 

water, where you may spot seals and dolphins, 

and to the sky, where broad-billed 

prions, mottled petrels, and sooty 

shearwaters may fly into view. This 

amazing sound is one of three featured 

on itineraries. 


35

Hobart, Tasmania 

A riverside city replete with Georgian 

charm, Hobart features a thriving arts 

scene, a gorgeous mountain backdrop, and 

a busy harbor where yachts from all over 

the world congregate. It’s also the gateway 

to a world-class chocolate factory, Cadbury, 

and home to the Cascade Brewery, producing 

one of the finest beers in New Zealand. To 

learn more about the island’s Aboriginal 

heritage, a visit to the Tasmanian Museum 

and Art Gallery is worth making. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Tasmanian 

Tasting Journey by 4WD, Hobart Walking Tour & 

Panoramic Tour 

Ports of Call 

Napier, New Zealand 

There’s really only one word to describe 

this city: pretty. Napier’s elegant art deco 

architecture, captivating beaches, and 

award-winning vineyards provide an 

appealing backdrop as you take in the 

sights. The National Aquarium of New 

Zealand, shaped like a stingray, features 

piranhas and crocodiles, as well as several 

other safer species in hands-on exhibits. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Napier Art 

Deco Highlights, Hawkes Bay Town & Country 

Melbourne, Australia 

The state capital of Victoria and 

Australia’s second-largest city, Melbourne 

is a cultural melting pot of Greek, Chinese, 

Italian, English, and Irish, and host to major 

international events. You’ll discover a decidedly 

European influence here, complete with oldworld 

architecture and a cricket field at the 

center of the city. The Melbourne Zoo is a 

great place to encounter Australia’s abundance 

of unusual animals. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Platypus, 

Kangaroos, & Koalas in Healesville Sanctuary, 

Heritage Traincar Tea 

Newcastle, Australia 

While Newcastle is a significant coalshipping 

center, you’ll likely focus more on 

its surf-worthy beaches and recreational 

pools, filled regularly with ocean saltwater. 

These historic Ocean Baths are located 

along the beach and are built with an art 

deco flair. Soak in the pools, take a relaxing 

swim, or venture into Hunter Valley to 

view stunning vineyards and taste fine 

varietals. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Beach Duning 

Adventure, A Taste of Hunter Valley 

Milford Sound, 

New Zealand 


Situated within Fiordland National Park, 

Milford Sound is part of the Te Wahipounamu 

World Heritage Site and is surrounded by 

sheer rock faces and lush forests. As our 

ship cruises through the narrow fjord, you 

may feel as if we are shrinking in size in 

comparison to the towering cliffs and 

mountains. This protected sound is one 

of three featured on itineraries. 

Phillip Island, Australia 

Few animals personify the Australian bush 

like the koala. Aside from a plethora of natural 

wonders like the Penguin Parade and 

the rugged offshore rock formations known 

locally as the “Nobbies,” Phillip Island is 

home to a huge koala preserve, where you 

can walk along an elevated boardwalk 

through the trees to get up close to these 

cuddly creatures.


Among the world’s most exciting cities, 

Sydney is home to dazzling beaches and 

the Sydney Opera House — an architectural 

marvel and one of the most recognizable 

performing arts venues in the world. For 

spectacular views of Sydney Harbour, take 

a walk across the Sydney Harbour Bridge. 

Or for great views in the water, stroll 

through the Sydney Aquarium’s underwater 

walkways. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Sydney Sights, 

Opera House & Bondi Beach, Sydney Bridgeclimb 

and The Rocks 



Tauranga is located at the entrance to one 

of the largest natural harbors in New 

Zealand and nestled beside magnificent 

Mount Maunganui. Water activities are 

the highlight here for locals and visitors 

alike, with such perennial favorites as a 

ride on a jet boat, white-water rafting the 

Rangitaiki River, or just relaxing on the 

beach. As for encounters with the local 

scene on land, the Elms Mission House 

offers a close look at colonial architecture. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Bush Jet Boat 

& Kiwifruit Farm, Rangitaiki Water Rafting 

Volcanic White Island, 

New Zealand 


Brace yourself for one of the most spectacular 

sights imaginable — one that can only be 

experienced from the air or water. As you cruise 

the Bay of Plenty, you’ll be greeted by New 

Zealand’s largest and most active volcano, 

stretching majestically from sea to sky. White 

Island, so named by Captain Cook after witnessing 

it shrouded in steam, is a private scenic 

reserve that is continually monitored by scientists 

due to its active nature. You, on the other 

hand, won’t be able to peel your eyes away from 

it due to its natural beauty. 


Wellington, New Zealand 

The cosmopolitan capital of New Zealand is 

also one of the country’s most stunning cities. 

This hilly harbor town features a plethora of 

spots to catch a few breathtaking views, along 

with a varied collection of world-class cafés 

and a dynamic arts scene. While you’re there, 

make sure to visit the National Museum of 

New Zealand — Te Papa Tongarewa. Loosely 

translated as “our place” from the native Maori 

tongue, the museum is one of the world’s 

largest and most progressive, with virtual sheepshearing 

and whale-riding among its long list 

of attractions. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Parliament & Te Papa

Australia Cruisetours 

Inland to the Outback. 

Our Australia cruisetours will bring you deep into the Australian Outback and up to the country’s 

famed North Coast. You’ll travel by air to the sacred Ayers Rock, known to the Aborigines as Uluru, 

a colossal sandstone monolith that dominates the desert skyline. From the top, the views of the 

Northern Territories are incredible. You’ll also fly to Cairns, which provides the jumping-off point 

for your snorkeling and boating encounters on the Great Barrier Reef, the most expansive and 

diverse marine ecosystem anywhere in the world. Covering over 132,000 square miles, it’s home 

to 30 species of whales, dolphins, and porpoises, six species of sea turtles, and more than 1,500 

species of fish. North of Cairns, Port Douglas represents a spectacular convergence of lush emerald 

and glittering sapphire, as the thriving rainforest there extends all the way to the shimmering sea. 

To ensure that you get the most out of every moment here, Celebrity’s Australia cruisetours are 

accompanied by an experienced Tour Director who will serve as both knowledgeable guide and 

personal concierge. 

An experienced Tour Director cuddles with a friendly native koala bear; Balancing Rock, New South Wales, 

Australia; life on the Great Barrier Reef.

Ayers Rock, Australia 

Located in central Australia, Ayers Rock, 

known as Uluru to the Aborigines, is the 

world’s largest monolith. During your 

cruisetour, you’ll visit the massive red rock 

that changes colors as the sun rises and 

sets, walk through the desert landscape 

on a guided tour, learn about Aboriginal 

culture, enjoy a barbecue dinner served 

in the desert, and take an astronomer-led 

tour of the southern night skies. 

Cairns, Australia 

Cairns is located in tropical North 

Queensland. To the north, west, and south, 

it is surrounded by lush, tropical rainforest. 

And to the east lies the Coral Sea and the 

Great Barrier Reef. Apart from being the 

gateway to magnificent natural attractions, 

this waterfront city offers an abundance of 

possibilities, including the opportunity to 

safely spot crocs. 

Australia Cruisetour Destinations 


Sydney, which serves as the beginning and 

end point of each cruisetour, is the state 

capital of New South Wales. The city’s 

focal point is the emerald-hued Sydney 

Harbour, where the famous Sydney Opera 

House displays its brilliant white “sails.” 

At night, take in the glittering views as the 

harbor reflects the lights of the Opera 

House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge and 

the skyscrapers around Circular Quay. 

Port Douglas, Australia 

The once-sleepy, now-bustling seaside village 

of Port Douglas is a hub for the Great Barrier 

Reef and rainforest coast. It has become an 

international holiday mecca, sharing the 

same tropical latitude as Tahiti. During your 

cruisetour, you’ll enjoy a full day of marine 

adventures with opportunities to swim, 

snorkel, and dive or view the reef from an 

underwater observatory.

Celebrity’s South America

A South American cruise is a reminder of what explorers must have felt when they gazed upon some of the 

world’s most unspoiled terrain for the first time. It is a land romanticized by many, and tamed by only a few. 

You’re invited to discover nature in its most primordial state. 

A bird’s-eye view of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. 45

Celebrity’sSouth America 

A land of extremes, 

extremely inviting. 

There may be no other single continent on earth offering such a wide assortment of sensations. With a 

Celebrity cruise or cruisetour, you’ll sail through the Strait of Magellan, where the passage’s namesake 

fought the awesome forces of nature head on in his search for a route around the globe. You’ll travel to 

cities like Cartagena, Colombia, and Buenos Aires, Argentina, which radiate a distinctly cosmopolitan 

sophistication that you’ll find delightfully engaging. And you’ll make land at some of the world’s most 

isolated outposts, like Port Stanley in the Falkland Islands, where penguins outnumber human residents. 

Natural Wonders 

The South American coastal landscape exudes a 

rugged beauty unlike any other place. You’ll see 

nature’s majesty in the fjords off the Chilean coastline, 

which are backed by desert plateaus and the jagged 

Andes mountains, compared by some to the teeth 

of some great monster. You may pass through the 

Panama Canal, one of the world’s most captivating 

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. 

wildlife, or sail around Cape Horn, a place early 

explorers mistook for the end of the world. You’ll 

watch seals, sea lions, orcas, and flocks of penguins 

cavort in the seas off Ushuaia, Argentina, Andean 

condors float effortlessly on thermals, and placid 

elephant seals wallow at the surf line. If you travel to 

the continent’s eastern side, you may feel compelled 

to follow suit, letting an afternoon idly drift by while 

you relax on some of the world’s most pristine beaches. 

Experience the Real South American Wildlife 

While there is no one defining South American 

landscape, there is a common thread of passion 

that runs through all of life here, one that you’ll 

experience at every port of call. Engage in the 

ultimate dance d’amour, the tango, in Buenos Aires, 

where its intricate steps were first taken, or do the 

cueca, Chile’s national dance of love, while in 

Valparaíso. In Rio de Janeiro, feel the contagious 

rhythms of the samba and bossa nova reverberate 

through the streets, long after the spectacle of 

Carnaval has come to an end. 

But not everything in South America is song and dance. 

A passion for people-watching dominates life in Punta 

del Este, a sanctuary for the rich and famous who flock 

here from throughout the Americas. And in Lima, an 

amazing fusion of past and present is on display, as the 

vivacity of modern Peruvian life gracefully intertwines 

with a wealth of Indian traditions. 


Get the most out of your South America vacation, both on land and sea,

South America Shore Excursions 

A lush continent of wonder 

awaits. 

You’re invited to come ashore — not just to look around, but to surround yourself with the essence of 

life. Take a tour of a Chilean winery near Puerto Montt, sampling estate vintages while relaxing in the 

shadows of a dormant volcano. See the past come to life in the Azapa Valley near Arica, Chile, where 

ancient geoglyphs still broadcast their mysterious messages. Or if you prefer to venture deeper into the 

backcountry, use Puerto Montt as a jumping-off point for a trip into the Patagonian wilderness, or go on 

a full-day trip to Machalilla National Park from Manta, Ecuador. The South American continent can 

amaze you in a myriad of ways. 

• Go on a Penguin Safari (Falkland Islands) 

• Volcanic Photo Expedition (Chile) 

• Visit a Working Estancia (Uruguay) 

• Sugar Loaf Mountain (Brazil) 

• Explore Underground Catacombs (Peru) 

• San Antonio Cultural Festival (Ecuador) 

Scenic tram ride in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Chile's Osorno Volcano; a day at the Juanicó Winery, Montevideo, Uruguay. 





Arica, Chile 

Arica is an oasis bordered by desert and 

fertile valleys fed by snowmelt from the 

Andes. Visit the Plaza Colón, Eiffel’s iron 

Cathedral of San Marcos, and the archeology 

museum in the nearby Azapa Valley, which 

houses relics dating back to 10,000 B.C. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Arica & Ancient 

Cultures, Cuzco & Machu Picchu Adventure, Arica 

& Desert by Train & Bus 

Ports of Call 


The old city of Cartagena projects the 

feel of a picture-perfect Spanish colonial 

village, with cathedrals like Iglesia de Santo 

Domingo that dominate the skyline. Las 

Bóvedas, the old military dungeons, have 

been converted to shops, and the string of 

fortresses provide the perfect vantage 

points from which to enjoy the harbor. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Deluxe 

Cartagena & Fortress, City Drive & La Popa 

Monastery 


If only one word could be used to describe 

this vibrant and richly cosmopolitan city, it 

would be “mosaic.” Stroll along these broad 

thoroughfares, listening to accents from 

dozens of European cities — from Milan 

to Madrid to Munich. The artful cultural 

melding found here is best exemplified by 

the national dance: the tango. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Gaucho Fiesta 

& Lunch, Tango Show, Buenos Aires Highlights 

Chilean Fjords 

These are some of the most magnificent 

fjords in the world. As your eyes work 

their way up the jagged walls of mammoth 

glaciers, you may be rewarded with an 

Andean condor sighting. On the ocean’s 

surface, the Magellanic penguins always 

put on a good show. 

Cape Horn, Chile 

Tierra del Fuego, Land of Fire, is the most 

isolated place in the Americas and Cape 

Horn is its southernmost point. These 

rugged cliffs and windswept shores are 

stark, rugged beauty personified, creating 

a dramatic setting for the collision between 

the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. 


Those who think Fort Lauderdale stands 

in the shadow of Miami are in for a very 

pleasant surprise. The city has matured 

into a gracious destination with sophisticated 

cuisine, nightclubs, and a personality all its 

own. The restaurants and shopping along 

Las Olas Boulevard and Himmarshee alone 

offer proof that Fort Lauderdale has blossomed 

into something truly special, 

all while retaining its youthful spirit. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Everglades 

Airboat Ride (Offered on Day of Disembarkation) 


51


Like a sentry, this old fort stands guard 

over the Panama Canal’s entrance into 

the Pacific Ocean. From here you can 

venture into Panama City for shopping, 

sit and watch the incredible spectacle 

of huge ships making their way through 

the waterway, or take a side trip out to 

the idyllic islands that dot the mouth of 

the canal. 

Ports of Call 

Manta, Ecuador 

This port city affords the visitor unprecedented 

access to ancient Manta culture. A short 

jaunt from the port lies the Bahía de Manta. 

There you’ll find the Parque Nacional 

Machalilla, with its cloud forest, archeological 

sites, and colonies of nesting seabirds. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Manta 

Highlights & Montecristi, Full Day to Machalilla 

National Park, San Antonio Cultural Festival 

La Serena (Coquimbo), 

Chile 

If you’re looking to steal a few tranquil 

moments, what better place than the city 

known as “The Serene One”? Its nearby 

pristine beaches come with powdery white 

sand and warm water. And Chile’s secondoldest 

city also offers quite a collection of 

cultural delights. Be sure to take in the 

stunning colonial architecture around the 

Plana de Armas and sample the region’s 

mouthwatering seafood. 


Take a walk up into the tropical hillsides 

overlooking Montego Bay and you can feel 

the port city’s energy rise to meet you. 

Players sit relaxed along sidewalks playing 

dominos, and thriving shopping arcades 

pulse with activity. No stop here would be 

complete without a visit to the worldfamous 

Doctor’s Cave Beach, which is fed 

by mineral springs. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Jungle River 

Tubing, Appleton Estate Rum Tour, Essence of 

Montego Highlights 

Lima (Callao), Peru 

The cultural and economic heart of Peru, 

Lima once served as the seat of power for 

the Spanish Empire in South America. The 

catacombs beneath the Church of San 

Francisco are a sight to behold, as are the 

thousands of antique texts you’ll find in 

the adjoining monastery. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Treasures of 

Colonial Lima, Peruvian Art & Museum Tour 

Montevideo, Uruguay 

Uruguay is cattle country, and although 

Montevideo is a thoroughly modern city 

with a rich artistic tradition, the reach of 

the rural estancias is all around you. If ever 

there were a time you were inclined to 

indulge, delicious steaks are the specialty 

of the house in virtually every restaurant. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Day at the 

Estancia, Juanicó Winery, Full Day to Punta del 

Este

Ocho Rios, Jamaica 

Many visitors to Ocho Rios enjoy a hike up 

Dunn’s River Falls, with only the seductive 

rhythms of island reggae and knowledgeable 

guides accompanying you. On the way 

you’ll pass through a series of limestone 

steps hidden beneath the rushing water, 

stopping along the way for an occasional 

dip in one of the falls’ clear, terraced pools. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Ocho Rios 

Highlights & Dunn’s River Falls, The Best of Ocho 

Rios, Original Canopy Tour 



Puerto Madryn, Argentina 

Extending out into the Atlantic from Puerto 

Madryn is the Península Valdés, a wildlife 

sanctuary where vast numbers of sea 

elephants, whales, and Magellanic penguins 

far outnumber the few human visitors who 

make it out this far. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Península 

Valdés, Punta Loma & Welsh Tea in Gaiman 

Panama Canal, Panama 

The canal is a marvel of engineering, but 

it’s also a sanctuary. Caymans prowl its 

waters, while sloths move slowly through 

the trees. Harpy eagles rule the skies, gliding 

on thermals while searching for their next 

meal, and ocelots hunt along the rainforest 

floor. There are a thousand details awaiting 

observant wildlife enthusiasts, including 

the vibrantly colored toucan. 

Puerto Montt, Chile 

This coastal enclave lives and dies by the 

sea, as evidenced by the colorful fishnet 

floats that adorn the main cathedral’s altar, 

the dozens of salmon farms that thrive in 

the hidden bays, and the hundreds of fishing 

boats that venture out each dawn in search 

of ocean bounty. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Osorno 

Volcano Photo Safari, Monteverde Farm & Nature 

Tour, Fly Fishing 

Port Stanley, 

Falkland Islands 

Commune with the roughly 2,000 intrepid 

souls who call this remote former whaling 

outpost home. As you hike through the 

rocky windswept landscape you may 

observe a few of the island’s flightless 

residents — including Magellanic penguins 

burrowing underground and rockhoppers 

carefully observing you from outcroppings. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Bluff Cove 

Penguin Rookery, Stanley Highlights, Sparrow Cove 

Penguin Adventure 

Punta Arenas, Chile 

The southernmost point on the contiguous 

South American continent, Punta Arenas 

overlooks the Strait of Magellan and 

Otway Sound, home to colonies of sea 

lions and Magellanic penguins. It’s also 

one of the few places on earth where you 

can snow ski while looking out over an 

ocean. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Punta Arenas 

City & Museum Tour 


53

Punta del Este, Uruguay 

If South America had purposely created 

a place to compete with the Riviera, this 

would be it. Carelessly browse through the 

chic shops and galleries of Calle Gorlero, 

or spend an idle afternoon people-watching 

from a beachside café while the assorted 

sun-lovers and jet-setters around you 

enjoy one of the continent’s most storied 

playgrounds. 

Ports of Call 

Ushuaia, Argentina 

No city on the planet has a more southerly 

latitude. As a result, the sun shines for 18 

hours during each summer day, providing 

ample opportunity to view the mix of glaciers, 

forests, and sea, all framed by Mount 

Martial to the west and Mounts Olivia and 

Cinco Hermanos to the east. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Train Ride at 

the End of the World, Beagle Channel Navigation & 

National Park, Tierra Mayor Trekking 

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 

Every step you take through these streets 

is set to the beat of pulsating samba 

rhythms. Feel the spirit of the costumed 

revelers, who during Carnaval weave 

through the winding streets under the 

watchful eye of Christ the Redeemer. Or 

travel by tram to the top of Sugar Loaf 

Mountain and view it all from above, letting 

the energetic vibe rise to meet you. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Sugar Loaf & 

City Tour, Best of Rio, Corcovado & Tijuca Forest 


The picturesque neighborhoods of 

Valparaíso extend up into the hills 

overlooking the busy port and the 

Pacific Ocean beyond. To explore the 

churches and architectural landmarks 

that make this a World Heritage site, 

ride the acencors, a series of elevators 

that are over 100 years old. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Santiago City 

Tour, Portillo Resort, Andes Mountains 


This 360-mile strait is named for the 

ambitious Portuguese explorer, 

Ferdinand Magellan, who sought a way 

to circumnavigate the globe. You’ll 

retrace his route as you make the only 

available crossing between the Atlantic 

and Pacific oceans, with the exception of 

the Panama Canal.

What To Pack 

Preparing for your South America 

vacation. 

As you prepare for your adventure, remember that the dynamic 

environments you’ll be exploring, as well as your daily activities, call 

Packing* 

When packing, remember that even though it’s summer in the Southern 

Hemisphere, the weather can change dramatically in a very short time — 

from sunny and pleasant to breezy, cool, and misty, especially when you’re 

traveling so close to the South Pole. Ensure you’re prepared for any conditions. 

• Layers, including a sweater or fleece pullover, waterproof and windproof jacket, and knit shirts. 

When conditions change, you’ll appreciate having the ability to add or shed a layer. 

• Lightweight shorts and pants as well as both long-sleeve and short-sleeve shirts. 

• Comfortable pants and dress slacks. 

• Comfortable, sturdy walking shoes and warm socks. 

• Hat, sunglasses, and sunblock, as you’re going to be spending a majority of your days outdoors. 

Other Essentials 

Passport; camera, with extra film or memory cards; insect repellent for 

shore excursions; resealable plastic bags to prevent water damage to 

certain items; bathing suits; workout clothes; eveningwear. 

*See pages 106-107 for additional details on what to pack.

South America Cruisetours 

Become a South 

America insider. 

Like a great sentry, South America’s rugged coastline stands guard over a continent’s worth of 

secrets and surprises. To reach this stunning territory requires nothing more than a desire to see a 

more extraordinary side of life and passage on a Celebrity cruisetour. These itineraries will take you 

deep into Argentina’s gaucho country, where cowboy is spoken with a Spanish accent and the 

steaks are fresher than you could possibly imagine. You’ll experience the power of nature on full 

display while visiting the famed Iguazu Falls. Or walk where few men have, among the awe-inspiring 

moai of Easter Island, monolithic carvings fashioned from volcanic stone. To ensure that your 

South America adventure is as unforgettable as the scenery, each cruisetour will be accompanied 

by a Tour Director who is fluent in the local language and knowledgeable about local customs. 

There is truly no better way to become an insider here. 

Iguazu Falls on the border of Argentina and Brazil; Easter Island’s mysterious carvings; the ornate architecture 

of Buenos Aires, Argentina.


Perhaps the most cosmopolitan city in all of 

South America, Buenos Aires combines 

a European sophistication with a Latin 

passion. Stroll along the wide, palm treelined 

streets, like the Plaza de Mayo, 

where famed first lady Evita Perón led 

fervent crowds to petition for her husband’s 

release from prison, or visit Pirámide de 

Mayo, the oldest of the city’s many 

national monuments. 

Santiago, Chile 

Serving as both Chile’s capital city and its 

ceremonial heart, Santiago boasts some of 

South America’s most iconic architecture, 

embracing both Spanish and German roots. 

The Palacio de La Moneda is a sprawling 

complex that provides a rich contrast to its 

more modern surroundings, and the Bellas 

Artes Museum hosts many temporary and 

permanent collections. 

Iguazu Falls 

While the volume of water that travels 

over these falls is staggering, size and 

numbers alone don’t even begin to 

communicate the sheer power and 

intensity of this spectacle. Carefully 

built walkways allow you to venture 

into the middle of this massive cascade, 

marveling as the water explodes all 

around you. 


There is an elegant grace to this charming 

city, a poise that contrasts the continent’s 

more energetic metropolitan areas. Chile’s 

National Congress is here, as is its first public 

library and Latin America’s oldest stock 

exchange. The varied neighborhoods, each 

of which has its own unique character, are 

built on a series of hills that face the 

Pacific and are served by funicular elevators. 

Easter Island, Chile 

Located over 2,200 miles from Santiago, this 

outpost is more Polynesian than Chilean. 

Its most iconic feature is the collection of 

hundreds of stone carvings that can be found 

throughout the island’s coastline, some 

measuring over 30 feet high and weighing 

over 83 tons. Amazingly, many of these were 

transported dozens of miles with nothing 

more than ropes, pulleys, and manpower.

Celebrity’s Panama Canal

Celebrity’sPanama Canal 

A man-made marvel filled 

with natural wonder. 

The Panama Canal didn’t just change the flow of two oceans, it changed the flow of commerce throughout 

two continents. While this engineering marvel had a huge impact on the history of the world, it’s had 

little impact on the natural world, and serves as a vast wildlife sanctuary whose many residents pay no 

mind to the ships that merely pass through. Life flourishes here, allowing the jungle to make inroads all 

the way down to the shoreline — so close you can hear macaws calling out and see monkeys scampering 

through the canopy. These encounters are what define Celebrity Cruises® canal voyages. Whether you’re 

reveling in the good times in Cabo San Lucas or dreamily letting quiet afternoons pass in Curaçao, you’ll 

find endless delight in the natural wonders that await you, both within the canal and on either side of it. 

An Engineering Escapade 

The Panama Canal represents nothing less than a 

stunning engineering feat of epic proportions. 

Stretching 50 miles between two oceans, it took 

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. 

what would be about $2.5 billion today. Over 230 

million cubic yards of earth had to be removed 

during construction and thousands of workers were 

involved in the process. However, as large as the 

task was, the impact has been even greater. About 

14,000 ships pass through the canal each year, 

carrying about 203 million tons of cargo. The passage 

takes about nine hours, as opposed to the 15 days 

it would take to navigate a ship the 8,000 miles 

around the tip of South America. Yet as impressive 

as the numbers themselves are, they seem to fade 

as your ship makes its way through this waterway. 

Capuchin and howler monkeys climb among the 

trees that come down to the shore, and nearly 1,000 

species of colorful birds call out from the branches 

and soar on the thermals that rise from the waters. 

The Panama Canal truly represents man and nature 

at their best. 

Life Beyond the Canal Zone 

Aside from the wonders of the canal itself, these 

voyages offer a wealth of possibilities. You may want 

to catch a breeze in Aruba while skimming over the 

waves on a windsurfer or venture inland from 

Puntarenas, Costa Rica, to catch a glimpse of the 

elusive jaguar. Feel free to succumb to the seductive 

rhythms of reggae in Montego Bay while snacking 

on fiery jerk chicken, or peruse more historical flavor 

on a casual stroll through the old city of Cartagena, 

Colombia. There are waves to be ridden off San Diego’s 

Windansea Beach and sun to be worshipped in Huatulco, 

Mexico. But most importantly, everywhere you go there 

is an abundance of beauty and excitement to be savored. 




With one staff member for every two guests, it’s no wonder Celebrity 

delivers attentive service, offering such treats as complimentary chilled 

towels upon returning from your shore excursions. So go ahead and enjoy 

your Panama Canal voyage and shore excursions to the fullest. We’re 

ready to serve you every step of the way.

Panama 

Canal 

These voyages will transport you 

between the East and West coasts 

of the United States, taking you 

through some of the most beautiful 

islands and coastal enclaves in 

Central America, Mexico, and the 

Caribbean. Every place we stop, from 

the vibrantly festive San Juan to the 

hidden jewel of Catalina Island, will 

offer a distinct fusion of coastal 

splendor and inland enrichment. 

While each itinerary is slightly 

different, what they all have in 

common is passage through the 

Panama Canal, which represents one 

of man’s most enduring engineering 

feats and one of nature’s most 

spectacular wildlife retreats.

Panama Canal Shore Excursions 

Connecting two oceans, 

creating infinite possibilities. 

Like a frosty margarita on a sultry afternoon, the many points of interest on these voyages beckon 

you to dive in. You can swim with stingrays in the famed underwater sanctuaries off the coast of 

Grand Cayman, or enjoy a drier view of the marine world from the Seaworld Explorer in Aruba. 

There are hiking trips into the foothills of the Sierra Madre del Sur in Huatulco and duty-free 

shopping trips from Cristobal Pier. If you can’t get enough of the water, Puntarenas offers river 

rafting expeditions and trips into the cliffs around La Paz Waterfalls, the most spectacular perspective 

of a cascade you’ll ever see. Of course, there are the bright lights of exciting cities to explore, like 

San Diego, San Francisco, and Fort Lauderdale. There’s no telling how far a shore excursion can take you.

Acapulco, Mexico 

Walk along the same beaches where 

pirates like Sir Francis Drake buried their 

ill-gotten gains, or stand back in awe as the 

famed clavadistas, or cliff divers, plunge 

into the depths from impossible heights. 

The liveliness of beach life carries straight 

into nightlife, as the city offers a dizzying 

array of late-night options. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Acapulco 

Highlights & Fort San Diego, Swim with Dolphins 

Ports of Call 

Catalina Island, California 

It’s less than 20 miles off the coast from 

Los Angeles, but Catalina Island is a world 

away from the city’s bright lights. Protected 

by the most stringent measures anywhere, 

this sanctuary is pure paradise. Boaters 

who make it out here find art deco 

architecture, quaint boutiques, and an 

eclectic dining experience. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Ocean Eco- 

Rafting, Lover’s Cove Snorkel Tour, Catalina Kayak 

Expedition 

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico 

This southernmost enclave on the tip of 

the Baja Peninsula features unearthly rock 

formations, cantinas owned by rock stars, 

and a coastline that’s ideal for kayak 

exploration, snorkeling, windsurfing, and 

whale watching. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Sea Kayaking 

Eco-Adventure, Land’s End Scenic Cruise & Drive, 

Cabo San Lucas Coastal Highlights Tour 

Cristobal Pier, Panama 

One of the most popular ports of call 

found on our Panama itineraries, Cristobal 

is the perfect jumping-off point for the 

cities of Colón and Panama City. 

Colón, Panama 

A trip to Colón delivers you to the mouth 

of the Panama Canal on its eastern end. It 

also provides a glimpse of the world’s 

largest man-made lake, lying just beyond 

the Gatun Locks. 


The old city of Cartagena projects the feel 

of a picture-perfect, Spanish colonial village, 

with cathedrals like Iglesia de Santo 

Domingo that dominate the skyline. Las 

Bóvedas, the old military dungeons, have 

been converted to shops, and the string of 

fortresses provide the perfect vantage 

points from which to enjoy the harbor. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Deluxe 

Cartagena & Fortress, Old City Walking Tour 


Those who think Fort Lauderdale stands 

in the shadow of Miami are in for a very 

pleasant surprise. The city has matured 

into a gracious destination with sophisticated 

cuisine, nightclubs, and a personality all its 

own. The restaurants and shopping along 

Las Olas Boulevard and Himmarshee alone 

offer proof that Fort Lauderdale has 

blossomed into something truly special, all 

while retaining its youthful spirit. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Everglades 

Airboat Ride (Offered on Day of Disembarkation)

Like a sentry, this old fort stands guard 

over the Panama Canal’s entrance into the 

Pacific Ocean. From here you can venture 

into Panama City for shopping, sit and 

watch the incredible spectacle of huge 

ships making their way through the 

waterway, or take a side trip out to the 

idyllic islands that dot the mouth of the 

canal. 

Ports of Call 

Los Angeles, California 

Los Angeles is a city that defies easy 

descriptions. Whether you love browsing 

or buying on Rodeo Drive, dining in some 

of America’s best-known gourmet restaurants, 

or simply basking in the glow of Hollywood’s 

spotlights, you’ll find more than enough to 

fill your visit here. 

George Town, 

Grand Cayman 

Once a hideout for some of the most 

notorious pirates in history, Grand Cayman 

is now host to visitors eager to peer into 

the almost extraterrestrial world of Stingray 

City. National Geographic named swimming 

among the rays as one of the most rewarding 

experiences in the undersea world. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Stingray City 

Adventure, Nautilus Undersea Tour & Reef 

Snorkel, Seaworld Explorer Glass-Bottom Boat 


Take a walk up into the tropical hillsides 

overlooking Montego Bay and you can feel 

the port city’s energy rise to meet you. 

Players sit relaxed along sidewalks playing 

dominoes, and thriving shopping arcades 

pulse with activity. No stop here would be 

complete without a visit to the worldfamous 

Doctor’s Cave Beach, which is fed 

by mineral springs. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Jungle River 

Tubing, Appleton Estate Rum Tour, Essence of 

Montego Highlights 

Huatulco, Mexico 

If there were a beaten path in Mexico, 

Huatulco would be about as far from it as 

you could get. As you walk along one of 

30 beaches, many of them deserted, don’t 

forget to turn your gaze inland toward the 

lush jungle undergrowth that rises toward 

the majestic Sierra Madre del Sur. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Huatulco Bike 

and Hike Tour, Five Bays Catamaran Cruise 

Oranjestad, Aruba 

While the Dutch originally settled this 

island paradise, the remnants of what they 

brought along are flavored with the essence 

of the Caribbean, an intermingling that 

extends to everything from the cuisine to 

the architecture. Don’t miss the charming 

boutiques and tropical gardens, that 

illustrate this European influence. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Sailing & 

Snorkeling Tour, Aruba Sea & See Island Tour

Panama Canal, Panama 

The canal is a marvel of engineering, but it’s 

also a sanctuary. Caymans prowl its waters, 

while sloths move slowly through the trees. 

Harpy eagles rule the skies, gliding on thermals 

while searching for their next meal, and 

ocelots hunt along the rainforest floor. There 

are a thousand details awaiting observant 

wildlife enthusiasts, including the vibrantly 

colored toucan. 


Puntarenas, Costa Rica 

Located along the Pacific Coast of Costa 

Rica, Puntarenas is a great place to see 

native wildlife such as the scarlet macaw 

and the capuchin monkey. It’s also home 

to the alpha predator of Central America, 

the jaguar. This region continues to grow in 

popularity with surfers from around the world. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Poas Volcano 

National Park, La Paz Waterfalls 


Originally settled by a contingent of 

Franciscan friars in the mid-18th century, 

San Diego has flourished to become one of 

America’s largest and most attractive cities. 

Bordered by the Anza-Borrego Desert, the 

Laguna Mountains, and the Pacific Ocean, 

it’s blessed with a year-round Mediterranean 

climate, which only adds to the attraction of 

its 70 miles of beaches. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: San Diego and La 

Jolla Highlights with Airport Drop-Off (Offered on 

Day of Disembarkation) 


San Francisco, California 

One of the world’s most exciting and eclectic 

cities, San Francisco offers visitors a 

wealth of possibilities — iconic landmarks 

like Fisherman’s Wharf, Lombard Street, 

and Alcatraz Island, as well as man-made 

wonders, like the Golden Gate Bridge, and 

nods to the past, like the cable cars on 

Powell Street. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: San Francisco 

City Sightseeing, Alcatraz Island & Sausalito 

San Juan, Puerto Rico 

While San Juan is a vibrant, modern port 

city, it also has one foot anchored proudly 

in the past, dating back to its time as a 

Spanish colonial outpost. Many of the old 

structures, including forts and cathedrals, 

date back to the early 16th century and the 

conquest by Juan Ponce de León in 1508. 

SHORE EXCURSIONS INCLUDE: Old and New 

San Juan City Tour 

Willemstad, Curaçao 

A drive over the fabled Queen Juliana 

Bridge, 185 feet above the turquoise waters 

of the Caribbean, presents one of the most 

breathtaking views of this former Dutch 

colony. The island’s abundance of forts 

belies its warm, welcoming nature, which 

you’ll discover on a trip to the Old Market. 

There, you can mingle with the local shoppers 

and fishmongers, and even enjoy some 

fresh grilled grouper or snapper.

The Galapagos Islands

CelebrityXpedition® 

Cultivate your sense 

of wonder. 

Celebrity Cruises® offers a one-of-a-kind experience on Celebrity Xpedition to one of the earth’s 

most precious archipelagos, the Galapagos Islands. With a focus on personal enrichment and ecological 

conservation, this journey not only introduces you to the creatures that inspired Charles Darwin’s theory 

of evolution, but also invites you to be a part of their future by participating in preservation efforts. 

Aboard Celebrity Xpedition 

With fewer than 100 guests per sailing, a 2-to-1+ guest 

to-staff ratio, and many of the amenities you would 

expect, Celebrity Xpedition offers a truly intimate 

encounter with the Galapagos Islands year-round. 

As the only major cruise line sailing these waters, 

Celebrity Cruises offers touches of the familiar, such 

as complimentary plush Frette® bathrobes, hot tub, 

sauna, and fitness room — and our lounge, featuring 

nightly lectures by naturalists and live music. This 

cruise is all-inclusive, from staff gratuities to all shore

excursions. What’s more, you’ll have the comfort of 

knowing that while your Galapagos experience will 

touch you in unimagined ways, you’ll sail this 

itinerary on a ship ecologically designed to leave 

the islands virtually untouched. 

Cruising the Galapagos Islands 

During your journey, you’ll voyage more than 600 

miles from the coast of Ecuador to cruise through 

islands so isolated they contain over 1,900 species 

of plants and animals that cannot be found 

anywhere else on the planet. And once you’re 

there, you’ll be delighted by the approachability 

of the creatures you’ll see. Having lived thousands 

of years without fear of predators, they’re as 

interested in you as you are in them. 

Continuing Your Exploration 

For a seamless Celebrity experience, you can start 

and end your trip in Quito, Ecuador, with a pre- and 

post-cruise package. This 10-night Galapagos 

experience includes a fully guided Quito tour, your 

Galapagos cruise, transportation (including round-trip 

air from Quito to Galapagos) and Celebrity concierge 

service. You’ll also have the rare opportunity of 

combining your Galapagos cruise with a four-night 

best of Ecuador and Peru post-cruise tour. During 

your journey, knowledgeable guides will lead you 

through Peru’s well-preserved archeological sites, 

including Lima, Cuzco, the Sacred Valley, 

Ollantaytambo, and Machu Picchu.

This enriching voyage represents 

a rare opportunity to absorb the 

lessons of nature in one of the 

world’s largest classrooms. Traveling 

in the company of a team of certified 

Galapagos naturalists, who will 

interpret every surrounding detail, 

you’ll have a front-row seat to a 

wide array of natural wonders — 

from sunbathing marine iguanas 

to the imperceptible movement of 

giant tortoises. Yet despite the 

impact these islands will have on 

you, the trip has been designed so 

that we will have a minimal impact 

on the environment, ensuring that 

generations of animals, and human 

visitors, can enjoy this special place 

for decades to come.

Upon returning from your daily guided excursions, 

you’ll enjoy exotic local fruit juices, and on special 

nights you’ll savor countless Ecuadorian delicacies

Galapagos sky. You’ll sample the flavors of these 

enchanting islands as we serve fresh, locally grown, 

organic fruit and vegetables, as well as fresh fish 

caught by Galapagos fishermen. Our casual openseating 

environment allows you the flexibility to

A Natural Approach 

Part of providing excellent service to our guests is 

ensuring that the destinations we explore are protected 

for the future. In that spirit, Celebrity’s Galapagos 

experience is planned in conjunction with the Galapagos 

National Park and follows strict environmental guidelines 

and regulations. Our naturalist guides* are certified by the 

Galapagos National Park and we follow our own 

conservation program onboard. So enjoy your vacation in 

the Galapagos Islands, knowing that future generations 

can have a similarly enriching experience. 

*One naturalist for every 14 guests (max.) allows for 

personalized enrichment.

Quito and seven nights aboard the intimate Celebrity Xpedition® 

experiencing the Galapagos Islands. Several excursion options 

offered each day, included with your cruise and accompanied by 

expert guides, allow you to choose between high, medium, and low 

intensity so you can encounter each island at your own pace. 

Days 1–2 

Pre-Cruise Quito 

Friday QUITO, ECUADOR 

Our 10-night Galapagos experience includes two 

nights pre-cruise and one night post-cruise in Quito 

for a seamless Celebrity vacation from the time your

free time to relax and settle in. 

Other Options Featuring Quito 

• 2-Night Pre-Cruise/2-Night Post-Cruise 

Quito Tour 

• 4-Night Post-Cruise Best of Ecuador & 

Peru Tour 

Saturday QUITO, ECUADOR 

During a guided tour of the capital of Ecuador, 

situated at an altitude of 9,350 feet, you’ll stand 

on the equatorial line at the Half of the World Park 

and Museum, and marvel at the monasteries of 

San Francisco and Santo Domingo. Your Tour Director 

will escort you throughout your Quito stay, offering 

an uninterrupted experience from your cruise, and 

serve as your personal concierge. 

Day 3 

Sunday ISLA BALTRA 

(Cruise Departure) 

Your Celebrity representative will escort you from 

the Quito airport all the way to Isla Baltra in the 

Galapagos. At the airport, enjoy refreshments in the 

Royal Palm VIP Lounge, which has been reserved for 

you. During World War II, the island’s airport was a 

U.S. military base protecting the Panama Canal from 

enemy attack. Now, surrounding the airport are land 

iguanas indigenous to the island. Your luggage will be 

delivered straight to your stateroom aboard Celebrity 

Xpedition, so you can unpack and enjoy exploring the 

296-foot megayacht, your home for the week. 

Sunday Afternoon ISLA NORTH SEYMOUR 

Isla North Seymour is home to a thriving colony 

of frigate birds, the largest in the Galapagos. Keep 

an eye on the males’ red gular sac, which may inflate 

like a balloon in anticipation of a female seeing them. 

You may also encounter breeding pairs of Blue-footed 

Boobies displaying their slow mirror dance or spot 

numerous iguanas and sea lions. Your afternoon 

excursion options include a dry landing with guided 

hike, a Zodiac coastline cruise with dry landing and 

short hike, or a scenic Zodiac coastline cruise to view 

geological formations. Later onboard, your captain 

welcomes you with a toast and a naturalist briefs you 

on the next day’s activities (offered nightly). 

Day 4 

Monday Morning PUERTO BAQUERIZO 

MORENO, ISLA SAN CRISTÓBAL 

Located on one of the four islands that Charles 

Darwin visited aboard the HMS Beagle, this 

administrative capital of the Galapagos features 

cobblestone streets and a pleasant waterfront 

park. In early morning, we’ll circumnavigate Kicker 

Rock, known as the Galapagos version of Gibraltar, 

and you may take a Zodiac cruise to the rock for 

closer observation. After breakfast, your morning 

excursion options include a dry landing for shopping 

and a visit to an interpretation center covering human 

history and conservation of the Galapagos archipelago. 

Monday Afternoon PUNTA SUÁREZ, 

ISLA ESPAÑOLA 

Punta Suárez, or Suárez Point, is located on the oldest 

Galapagos island and has a high concentration of 

wildlife. Expect to observe sea lions, Galapagos 

hawks, blue-footed and masked boobies, and red 

marine iguanas, strange creatures found only on 

this island. This afternoon, you may attend the first 

of our Celebrity Xpedition Lecture Series onboard 

to learn more about the islands’ geology. Afternoon 

excursions offer three different levels of activity, 

including a high-intensity hike (follow the trail to 

the very edge of the dramatic southern cliff, where 

an impressive blowhole gushes water up to 20 

meters in the air).

Celebrity Xpedition exploring the coastline of the Galapagos Islands; a Galapagos sea lion; a blue-footed booby perched on a warm rock; 

a naturalist-led excursion to view giant tortoises. 

Day 5 

Tuesday Morning CORMORANT POINT, 

ISLA FLOREANA 

Isla Floreana was once a penal colony for Ecuador, 

the first capital of the Galapagos and where 

Charles Darwin met the Galapagos viceroy. Your 

excursion options include a medium-intensity wet 

landing at Cormorant Point (or Punta Cormorant), 

where you may see two plant species found only 

at this particular site, as well as flamingos, stilts, 

and white-cheeked pintail ducks. Or try advanced 

snorkeling to Champion Island to spy grunts, 

groupers, chubs, spotted eagle rays, white-tipped reef 

sharks, sea stars, parrotfish, and rainbow wrasse. 

Tuesday Afternoon BARONESS OUTLOOK, 

ISLA FLOREANA 

Baroness Outlook lends a little mystery to Isla 

Floreana as the spot where a self-proclaimed 

Baroness, who inexplicably disappeared with her 

lover in the 1930s, kept watch for incoming ships. 

Afternoon excursions include advanced snorkeling 

at Mystery Bay and a low-intensity Zodiac ride for 

wildlife observation. When the stars come out, join 

us for an alfresco dinner and stargazing with our 

bridge officers. 

Day 6 

Wednesday Morning LAS BACHAS, 

ISLA SANTA CRUZ 

The name “Las Bachas” comes from the locals’ poor 

English pronunciation of “barges” to describe the 

WWII barges that broke free from their moorings and 

ran aground on this beach. A pair of beach lagoons 

occasionally host flamingos feeding in the shallows. 

And the beach itself is one of the largest nesting 

areas of the Pacific green sea turtle in the Galapagos. 

Morning excursions include a wet landing and hike to 

view flamingos, followed by an opportunity to swim 

from the beach, and a wet landing at the beach for a 

few hours of relaxation. 

Wednesday Afternoon ISLA BARTOLOMÉ 

A recently volcanically active island, Isla Bartolomé 

has a moon-like landscape and volcanic cones. Before 

we anchor, attend today’s lecture about the Human 

History of the Galapagos Archipelago. Afternoon 

excursions include a “To the Top” Pinnacle Rock hike 

and beach snorkel/swim and a coastal exploration 

Zodiac cruise with an optional beach landing. The 

view from the top of Pinnacle Rock is perhaps the 

most famous in the Galapagos, with the opportunity 

to see up to 26 islands if visibility allows. On the beach, 

watch for Galapagos penguins, some of the smallest 

penguins in the world. 

Day 7 

Thursday Morning ELIZABETH BAY, 

ISLA ISABELA 

Isla Isabela, the largest island in the Galapagos 

Archipelago, is composed of five volcanoes, with the 

latest eruption occurring in October 2005. The cold, 

nutrient-rich waters of Elizabeth Bay and the small 

Mariela Islands provide the perfect home for the 

Galapagos penguin. This morning, you may opt for a 

scenic Zodiac ride to view the Mariela Islands and 

Galapagos penguins. Then back onboard the ship, 

we’ll spend some time cruising along the scenic 

Isabela and Fernandina islands to search for whales 

and dolphins. 

Thursday Afternoon PUNTA ESPINOZA, 

ISLA FERNANDINA 

Isla Fernandina is the youngest Galapagos island due 

to its volcanic activity. As Darwin wrote, it is “covered 

with immense deluges of black naked lava.” During the 

afternoon excursions, hike along Punta Espinoza to view 

several sea lion colonies, the largest colony of marine 

iguanas and a nesting area for flightless cormorants. 

Or enjoy a low-intensity journey into the Bolivar Channel 

searching for pelagic bird species and possibly whales 

and dolphins, with an optional landing for closer 

observation. 


85

Day 8 

Friday Morning PUERTO EGAS, 

ISLA SANTIAGO (SAN SALVADOR) 

Puerto (Port) Egas on San Salvador Island, also 

called James or Santiago Island, offers the most 

popular walk along James Bay on a black-sand 

beach. On the trail, look for oystercatchers,

Sally lightfoot crabs, and Galapagos and fur sea 

lions. Excursion options include a high-intensity 

“Survival of the Fittest” hike with swimming/ 

snorkeling at the beach, a high-intensity coastal 

walk followed by swimming/snorkeling, and a 

low-intensity landing for relaxing on the beach or 

swimming and snorkeling. 

Friday Afternoon DRAGON HILL, 

ISLA SANTA CRUZ 

Dragon Hill, or “Cerro Dragón,” is named after 

its population of land iguanas. The site offers a 

beautiful view of the landscape and two small 

brackish lagoons where flamingos and other shore 

birds occasionally feed. Along the trail, we’ll cross 

a beautiful “white forest” of Palo Santo (incense) 

trees and Galapagos cotton plants. Excursion 

options include a high-intensity hike with swimming/ 

snorkeling at the beach, high-intensity snorkeling 

from a Zodiac followed by a short walk, and a 

low-intensity landing for relaxing on the beach or 

swimming and snorkeling. 

Days 9-10 

Saturday PUERTO AYORA, ISLA SANTA CRUZ 

Puerto (Port) Ayora is home to the Charles Darwin 

Research Station and the National Park Service. 

At the Darwin Station, learn more about tortoise 

preservation and try for a lucky peek at Lonesome 

George, the last member of the Pinta Island species. 

Morning and afternoon shore excursions include a 

Tortuga Bay hike and lagoon swim, a bus ride to the 

highlands to observe giant tortoises in the wild and 

a visit to the Charles Darwin Research Station, all 

followed by free time to shop before returning to the 

ship. Onboard, enjoy a farewell cocktail party and 

folkloric show with the captain and a barbecue 

dinner under the stars. 

Sunday Morning ISLA BALTRA 

Cruise Disembarkation 

Your round-trip Galapagos cruise brings you back 

to Isla Baltra, home to the Baltra airport. If 

you chose the 10-night Quito package, a Celebrity 

representative will greet you at the airport for your 

flight to your post-cruise Quito experience. At the 

airport, enjoy refreshments in the Royal Palm VIP 

Lounge, which has been reserved for you. Your 

luggage will be transferred from the ship directly 

to the plane. As your flight takes off, enjoy one last 

aerial view of one of the world’s most treasured 

archipelagoes.
