Join Kim Hostetler, 2026 St. Charles Yacht Club Commodore
This 10-night, all-inclusive, roundtrip cruise includes 13 ports, a dozen tendered exploration trips throughout the Galápagos Islands, and three pre- and post-cruise touring days in Quito, Ecuador.
The Celebrity Flora is the first 100-guest, all-suites ship designed exclusively for sailing the Galápagos Islands. It is one of the most eco-friendly ships sailing anywhere; the dynamic positioning system allows the mega-yacht to remain on station without dropping anchors, protecting the seabed — and the solar panels supplement electricity, reducing emissions. It’s also the first resort at sea in the region to receive a Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star Rating: all inclusive, with an unrivaled array of indulgent design features, services, and amenities, including floor to ceiling windows, full room automation, premium linens and bathrobes, complimentary backpack, marine binoculars, and much more. Certified naturalists from the Galápagos National Park are on board to guide the journey.
Our group suites for the 10-night Ecuador/Galápagos Islands Cruise will be held until April19, 2026; reservations after April 19 will depend on availability. Specific suite and pricing options and booking will be provided by David Fritz, owner and President of Fritz Travel and Cruise Everything, a member agency of the prestigious Signature Travel Network. Please call David for pricing information and booking. He can be reached by clicking here or better yet call him direct at (239) 275-1717, ext. 16. It is best to call David for current rates and availability.
ALSO, there is an additional trip option to Peru and Machu Picchu! This add-on trip, planned by Cruise Everything and their destination specialists in Peru, will be another all inclusive package, including travel from Quito to Lima and Cuzco; visits to the Sacred Valley, Urubamba Valley and the Fortress of Ollantaytamba, train rides to Machu Picchu, and lots of touring/hiking/scenic viewing along the way and back. The specifics of this additional trip will be finalized about 12 months prior to the trip.
If you are interested in the cruise, please hold October 9-19, 2026 on your calendars and call David for booking information. If you are also interested in the add-on trip to Peru and Machu Picchu, let us know, and also hold October 20-27, 2026 on your calendar now.
