What's onboard
Dining

- Beagles Restaurant and Grill- enjoy your meal outside while admiring the awe-inspiring views as the chefs cook up deliciously-grilled, locally-sourced fish and vegetables right before your eyes.

- Room Service- available 24 hours a day for those who just don’t feel like leaving their cabin.
Entertainment
While the main draw of a cruise with Celebrity Xpedition is the incredible opportunity to discover the Galapagos Islands, this doesn’t have to mean that evenings aren’t just as memorable. After a busy day exploring you can relax with a drink in hand and exchange stories of the day, and listen to the Galapagos National Park naturalists give you information on the next day’s islands with everything you can see & do. Alternatively, for something a little more lively, head to the Discovery Lounge and take in some live music, perhaps even showing off your moves on the dance floor.
Things to do
Recreation
With pleasant weather in the Galapagos’ year round, guests have access to snorkelling gear and trips out on Zodiacs to get up close and personal to the islands’ unique wildlife. This is even further enriched by certified expert naturalists giving fascinating talks in the Darwin Lounge before heading out for the day’s nature-filled adventure.
Spa and Fitness
Despite Celebrity Xpedition’s relatively small size in comparison to other ships in the Celebrity fleet, onboard guests will find a fitness room, spa with sauna and bookable treatments, and a hot tub on the sun deck.

Iglu Cruise customer reviews for Celebrity Xpedition
Very busy programme of activities, well run.Celeberity Cruises staff on hand from moment of arriving at Quito airport throughout the land stay as well as the curise. Exceeded expectations.Naturalist crew excellent.
Excellent programme of activities with well qualified naturalist guides.The Celebrity Cruises staff were on hand every day from arriving at Quito airport to ensure that everything went smoothly for the whole time in Ecuador, including land tours.Exceeded expectations.
We have just returned from a 7 night cruise on Celebrity Xpedition and how fantastic it was! This is a superb ship but the most impressive aspect of our cruise was the sheer efficiency friendliness and knowledge of the ship's crew. From the moment we stepped on board we were looked after, entertained and educated. Our cabin was comfortable the food was excellent and varied and when we went ashore our safety was paramount. The Galapagos Islands are truly spectacular, the animals didn't disappoint and we learnt so much about them from the naturalists who are so knowledgable and share this with enthusiasm and humour. I cannot think of a negative about my Galapagos experience on Celebrity Xpedition
