Celebrity Drop Two Big Announcements Ft. A Surprise Godmother

Celebrity Cruises has just announced that a world-renowned conservationist will serve as the godmother for Celebrity Flora.

The new ship will be a purpose-built Galápagos ship debuting this spring; on top of this, the line have announced new partners in sustainability and conservation.

“Each of these new partners are helping shape a better tomorrow for our planet in one way or another- whether it’s through the research, sustainable material sourcing or conservation- and we couldn’t be prouder to be a part of this sea change,” Celebrity President and CEO Lisa Lutoff-Perlo said.

Lutoff-Perlo also openly credited Francesca Bucci of BG Studio International in New York who designed Celebrity Flora’s interiors and the world-renowned marine scientist and regional destination expert Ellen Prager, who crafted discovery-based programming exclusive to Celebrity Flora.

Godmother to Celebrity Flora, Yolanda Kakabadse, is the former minister of environment for Ecuador and former president of the International Union for Conservation of Nature and World Wildlife Fund International.

She is recognized as a prominent environmental leader and a global champion of sustainable development and biodiversity preservation.

Celebrity will partner with Kakabadse on efforts to reduce food waste and to transform travelers into passionate advocates for conservation.

Celebrity Flora will become the first Galápagos ship with cutting-edge oceanographic research equipment known as Oceanscope.

The system will track and map the region while measuring sea-surface temperatures and gathering data and all findings gathered by Celebrity Flora will become open source data, globally accessible to researchers.

Celebrity Flora is due to begin service from Baltra on June 30th.
