Galapagos Cruising

I have recently been looking into a Galapagos cruise for a client with Celebrity Cruises on the Expedition.  The Galapagos Islands are not very well known when it comes to cruising so I thought it was worth sharing some facts.
Celebrity is the only major cruise line to sail to the Galapagos.  They offer year round sailings and offer different packages from 7 nights to 14 nights.  The Galapagos Islands are on archipelago of volcanic Islands distributed around the Equator in the Pacific Ocean off the west coast of South America.  There are 18 main Islands.  The main language on the Islands is Spanish and the population is 23,000.  The wildlife is the most notable feature on the island and you will see many creatures that cannot be seen anywhere else on earth.  To Join the Celebrity Expedition in the Galapagos you need to fly into Baltra which is one of two airports that operate in these Islands.  With Celebrity cruises you would first fly into Quito, Ecuador to start your holiday before the flight to Baltra.  Celebrity offer different packages where you can either,

Arrange your own flights and just do the 7 night cruise from Baltra
2 nights stay in Quito before the cruise and 1 night at the end
2 nights stay in Quito before and 2 nights after the cruise
2 nights stay in Quito before the cruise and a 4 nights stay at the end to include Machu Picchu

The Celebrity Expedition carries 92 guests and offers a luxurious, yet easy going feeling onboard.  It is open dining for all meals and a casual dress code.
What is included with the Celebrity Expedition?  Well all your beverages are included, all meals and room service with in-stateroom dining, all shore excursions, snorkelling equipment, Park entrance and Galapagos tourist card fees, pre and post cruise hotel accommodation and the tours on the packages, all transfers and all gratuities.
After looking at all the pictures of these islands and seeing what they offer I think it is a must and I would love to visit myself.
If you need any more information on the itineraries then please let me know.
