Celebrity Xpedition - Northern versus Southern Loop

[Stonewolf Cruiser]

Does anyone have recent experience with Celebrity Xpedition cruises in the Galapagos Islands?

I am trying to decide between Northern Loop and Southern Loop.  Each cruise would be 7 nights and I am looking to do this in May 2022.

I am not so interested in snorkeling opportunities - my focus is more on shore exploration and wildlife.

Thanks for any help.

We did this two years ago and snorkeling 2x a day is a HUGE part of this experience. From our experience each loop has certain animals, birds that make that trip unique. If there isn't a certain bird/animal you are looking forward to seeing then either will be equally wonderful. This was one of the best trips of our lives. Hope you enjoy your trip.
