当名人巡游为名人植物群的首次亮相时,第一艘专门设计用于航行加拉帕戈斯岛的船,邮轮透露,这艘船的教母将是厄瓜多尔保护主义者Yolanda Kakabadse。
Kakabadse is the former president of the World Wildlife Fund and Minister of Environment for the Republic of Ecuador. She will name Flora on June 30, 2019, in the Galapagos; the ship is scheduled to depart from the shipyard in Holland on May 15.
名人表示,它将与卡卡巴德(Kakabadse)合作,继续努力减少食物浪费。卡卡巴德说:“我很自豪地与一家致力于在加拉帕戈斯岛可持续发展的公司合作,并在一个至关重要的问题上展示领导能力,以维持这个美丽的生态系统,食物浪费。”
名人还宣布了另外两个合作伙伴关系,包括与著名的厄瓜多尔设计师Adriana Hoyos建立了新的设计合作伙伴关系,后者将利用当地的自然元素来补充该船的设计。
Celebrity Flora will also be equipped with oceanographic research equipment, known as an OceanScope, allowing scientists from University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science to conduct research onboard.

The partnerships “help underscore our passion for protecting this beautiful archipelago,” said Lisa Lutoff-Perlo, president and CEO, Celebrity Cruises. "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."
The 100-guest Celebrity Flora will join the line's other expedition ship, Celebrity Xpedition, and will sail from Baltra year-round. The vessel will make her first sailing on June 30, 2019, alternating seven-night inner and outer loop itineraries, with a selection of 10-, 11-, and 16-night packages.
The cutting-edge ship will feature Celebrity's signature outward-facing design concept, giving guests 360-degree views of the islands, and all-suite accommodations. Celebrity Flora will also have the first glamping experience at sea, new dining venues, an open-air stargazing platform, expert-led ecological seminars, and custom-designed Novurania yacht tenders that create a seamless sea-to-shore experience for guests.
