From the giant tortoises that bear the Galapagos name to the marine iguanas and “Darwin” finches, the Galapagos Islands afford visitors the chance to observe a living laboratory of adaptation. Did you know: • 90 percent of the reptiles found in the Galapagos Islands are found nowhere else on earth. • Galapagos giant tortoises can reach a weight of 500 pounds. • the penguins found on the Galapagos Islands are the only ones found in warm waters. • the marine iguanas found in the Galapagos Islands are the only lizards in the world that live in the ocean. Celebrity Cruises provides guests with this upclose experience with the smallest possible environmental impact to these precious shores.
