Silver Origin
With one of the highest crew-to-guest ratios in the Galapagos fleet, the Silver Origin provides its guests with “big ship” levels of luxury and service whilst also ensuring that they have an intimate and immersive experience of the wonders of the archipelago. This vessel, specifically designed for the waters of the Galapagos, sets the standards that others attempt to follow.

Location
The 100m-long Silver Origin sails from San Cristobal, specialising on two routes that give on-board explorers the best possible experience of the north, western and central islands. Her seasoned 90 crew members ensure that a very slick and efficient formula is applied behind the scenes of your holiday; you will get the maximum possible time on each island.
Accommodation
Whilst the Galapagos Islands themselves cannot help but deliver an awesome adventure, Silver Origin plays its part too with exceptional levels of comfort and luxury. The accommodation on this vessel cannot be described as mere “cabins”, for you will be staying in an elegant suite with butler service. From your fully climate-controlled environment with beautiful ensuite bathroom, you will gaze out through a huge picture window onto your private veranda and beyond to the wonders of the waters of the Galapagos.
The advantages of the scale of the ship become clear when you venture around the communal areas, which are, of course, as luxurious as your suite. You will definitely make use the “knowledge lounge”, known as Basecamp, a place with an interactive wall and copious reference materials. Basecamp is where you will depart for Zodiac tours.

There’s more to learn in the library of the Explorer Lounge, but perhaps you will prefer just to watch the views go by through the massive windows, or enjoy a cocktail from the bar to the sound of the piano. Another option for viewing is the Observation Lounge above the bridge, or you could stretch out in the shade or in the open on the sun deck, where you will also find the whirlpool.
The food and service at the two restaurants are, of course, exemplary. The Grill is the place for alfresco lunches and evening meals that involve hot volcanic rock cooking at your table. For refined dining, the other restaurant offers an exquisite and varied menu of local and international delicacies. As everything is included, you can indulge yourself in culinary adventures to complement the thrills of the islands themselves.

Experiences
- As this boat has one of the best guest-to-guide (and Zodiac) ratios in the Galapagos fleet, you will be swiftly and efficiently transferred to islands for your intimate, small group experiences.
- Surrounded by the wealth of nature, from frigate birds, to iguanas, to blue-footed boobies, penguins and the famous finches, you will feel like you are in a wildlife documentary. You may even be able to see nesting albatrosses.
- Don’t be surprised to be surrounded by a gang of inquisitive sealions as you snorkel in the mineral-rich waters. Guests on Silver Origin can snorkel every day.
- You will have so many unbelievable experiences that you will need to find a quiet corner to reflect and recover each evening. Perhaps this will be on your own balcony, or in the hot tub looking up at the stars of the Pacific.
