A small luxury vessel, built in 2001, was launched as Celebrity Cruises in 2004 because it was previously owned by Royal Caribbean. In an innovative move, Xpedition offers a Premium cruise style dedicated to that part of cruise passengers who focus a lot on excursions and especially on the itinerary and in most cases offers unusual and adventurous cruising experiences in exotic destinations. (ex: Galapagos Islands) The peculiarity of Xpedition is that it manages to provide a high level of service and cuisine by offering "adventure travelers" and therefore giving its customers the right balance between comfort, luxury, the intimacy of a small ship and travel. For this trip Celebrity offers a different formula than usual, all drinks (except some premium brands) and tips are included in the price, so the atmosphere is more relaxed and sociable than on the big Celebrity ships, passengers can enjoy a carefree all-inclusive service.
