In 2020, Silversea brings understated Italian luxury to the Galapagos on its first-ever destination-specific ship, Silver Origin. When cruising the Galapagos on Silver Origin, guests will be treated to an extraordinarily immersive experience that can only be had with Silversea.

The all-suite Silver Origin, featuring regionally inspired cuisine and a team of Ecuadorian naturalists, will inspire discovery in elegant comfort.

A staple on all Silversea ships, the Explorer Lounge on Silver Origin is revamped as a focal point for cruising the Galapagos. Featuring floor-to-ceiling windows, there has never been a more luxurious way to explore the world.

A new feature, emanating the desire for a destination-focused voyage, is Basecamp. Designed as a meeting place to embark on Zodiac excursions, this is also the place to go for more information on the enthralling destination. And, as always, stateroom accommodations on all Silversea ships meet the highest standard of luxury.

Silversea is committed to protecting the Galapagos Islands, one of the most environmentally pure regions in the world, so guests can continue to enjoy their majesty.

For this reason, Silver Origin is set to be only the second ship in the islands with a feature that eliminates the need for an anchor, thus protecting the delicate underwater ecosystem of the area.

And to cut down on pollution, each guest will be given a metal, reusable water bottle to be filled at stations that purify seawater for drinking.
