Celebrity Cruises has completed a range of improvements to Celebrity Xpedition, as part of the company’s £500m modernisation programme, called Celebrity Revolution.

The 100-guest ship is scheduled to return to service to the Galápagos Islands on 23 September 2018.

Upgrades include redecorated staterooms, lounges and restaurants, and faster and more reliable Wi-Fi.

“Our commitment to the Galapagos Islands has never been stronger, because we know, having sailed these awe-inspiring islands for so many years, what a life-changing experience it is to come here,” said Lisa Lutoff-Perlo, president and CEO, Celebrity Cruises. 

“The upgrades we’re making to Celebrity Xpedition and the upcoming arrival of our new Celebrity Flora, the first ship designed specifically with the Galapagos Islands in mind, will transform the way our guests discover this amazing place and take our unrivalled Galapagos offerings to an entirely new level.”

In addition, Celebrity Xpedition will undergo a range of enhancements from bow to stern, including new carpeting and balcony upgrades, RFID lock technology on all suite and stateroom doors, and upgraded shipboard IT systems, including the addition of an O3B satellite to improve the speed and reliability of the Wi-Fi.

Furthermore, the Beagle Grill will be outfitted with new furniture and lighting, while a new video wall will be installed in the Discovery Lounge. The Darwin Dining Room will recieve design enhancements with new lighting, carpet and millwork, and water filtration systems will be installed on every deck.

Celebrity Xpedition will debut the improvements in June 2019, to coincide with the arrival of the Celebrity Flora.
