Like the one-of-a-kind wildlife in the Galapagos Islands, Silver Origin is a beautiful blend of elegance and evolution. Built specifically for navigating the archipelago’s ecologically sensitive waters, this luxury vessel marks the latest in eco-friendly innovation for Silversea Cruises. For instance, the ship consumes 15% less fuel than its predecessor and has a dynamic positioning system that enables it to hover above fragile reefs without dropping anchor.
Designed by Hirsch Bedner Associates, the interiors feel sleek and modern, with floor-to-ceiling windows that offer exceptional views of the breathtaking surroundings. Every suite features a furnished veranda and butler service, while an Ecuadorian-inspired collection of nearly 200 art pieces adds a sense of intrigue and authenticity to the otherwise neutral-toned décor. Capped at just 100 passengers, Silver Origin is a boutique beauty bringing you to the remote edges of the world in style.
- Local sourcing isn’t just a buzzword aboard Silver Origin. Look for complimentary fair-trade organic chocolate from the Andes, Galapagos-grown organic coffee and island-caught scorpionfish provided by local fishermen.
- At nearly one-to-one, Silver Origin boasts the highest crew-to-guest ratio in the Galapagos, ensuring attentive service from sea to shore.
- Don’t miss the chance to take the helm (metaphorically) in the Basecamp lobby. A touchscreen podium operates an interactive digital wall, showcasing photos and fact-filled videos of Galapagos wildlife.
- When it comes to dining, savor vibrant regional cuisine at The Restaurant, the elegant main dining room, or opt for a more relaxed setting at The Grill. Breezy and inviting, The Grill spot serves up burgers and salads during the day, then transforms into Silversea’s signature "Hot Rocks" table barbecue experience for dinner.
- While an all-suite ship is undoubtedly luxurious, Silver Origin elevates the experience with jaw-dropping bathrooms, where ocean-view bathtubs and balcony showers provide serene, scenic spaces to unwind.
- To minimize human impact on the delicate ecosystem, the Galápagos National Park assigns ship routes on a weekly basis. That means your itinerary may change, but the crew will ensure you have an amazing experience wherever you go.
- Daily lectures and workshops led by Silver Origin’s team of naturalists are held in the Explorer Lounge. With several video screens throughout the room, you won’t miss a single detail.
- The ship has a fleet of eight Zodiacs for excursions. Each inflatable boat has a capacity of up to 12 people, resulting in more intimate outings and plenty of one-on-one time for questions.
- To maintain a plastic-free environment, Silversea will gift you a reusable water bottle, which can be refilled at one of the reverse osmosis refilling stations on the ship.
