National Geographic Gemini deck plans

Celebrity Xpedition (built in 2004 as "MS Xpedition" and last refurbished in January–March 2025) is the most distinctive of all Celebrity Galapagos ships. She is an Xpedition-class vessel operating exclusively in the Galapagos Islands. Cruise fares on Xpedition include gratuities, island tours (shore excursions), onboard meals, and all beverages.

The Celebrity Xpedition deck plan shows a total of 48 staterooms accommodating 98 passengers (115 maximum capacity) and serviced by 64 crew. The ship has 6 decks (4 accessible to passengers, all with cabins), 2 restaurants/food bars, 2 lounges/bars, 1 shop, and 1 outdoor Jacuzzi (whirlpool). She has no swimming pool and no elevators.
