If Only a Tortoise Could Talk

If Only a Tortoise Could Talk

If you’ve been living for more than 100 years, what stories would you have to tell? One can only imagine what the Galapagos Islands’ most famous residents, 100-year-old tortoises, might share with travelers visiting their pristine paradise.

This year, Cruise Planners co-owners Michelle Fee, CEO, and Vicky Garcia, COO, traveled with Cruise Planners top producing franchisees on an exclusive week-long trip to the shores of the Galapagos Islands on board the forty-eight passenger Celebrity Xperience. This trip is the highlight of the year for these members of the CP Family who in the past have visited other bucket-list destinations such as India, Australia, Italy and the Holy Land.

Cruise Planners was joined by the Celebrity Team including Michelle Homoky, Director of Field Sales Eastern U.S., David Siewers, Strategic Market Manager, East Coast and Keith Lane, Vice President of Field Sales and National Accounts, North America.  

Experience the Exotiness of the Galapagos Islands

The Galapagos Islands are known for their exotic, natural beauty and abundant wildlife which is unfazed by human visitors. In addition to the tortoises, the Galapagos’ popular residents include blue-footed boobies that may be the most fashionable birds at sea and sea lions that love to sunbathe lazily on the beach. The waters are filled with sea turtles and fish dotting around snorkelers.

Travelers experienced the animal life and scenery via customizable Zodiac rides, kayaking, snorkeling, hiking to the top of a volcano and other excursions.

After each day of island hopping, exploration and endless photo opportunities, the CP Family relaxed on board the all-inclusive Celebrity Xperience.
