HIGHLIGHTS
Ship Story
The first destination-specific ship built by Silversea, Silver Origin delivers the ultimate experiential travel experience in the Galápagos. Never before have the islands been so superbly presented: a team of Ecuadorian national expert guides, the highest crew-to-guest ratio in the Galápagos, 8 Zodiacs, seamless hybrid spaces that offer an extraordinary voyage. All-suite accommodation, Horizon Balconies, butler service, sophisticated interiors, interactive Basecamp, Ecuadorian inspired cuisine … no aspect of Silver Origin has been left to chance. She is also the most environmentally conscious ship we have ever built as she is one of only two ships sailing in the Galápagos to feature dynamic positioning – meaning no anchor to damage the delicate sea-bed ecosystem. Silver Origin is also plastic free – guests are gifted a metallic reusable water bottle. Moreover, our carbon footprint is well below standard to preserve one of the world’s most important protected natural areas. Silver Origin is the only ship in the entire Galápagos region to offer butler service in every suite in order to give your clients that personal touch that makes their stay on board as enjoyable as their visit to the islands themselves.
