The Galápagos Islands are one of the most astounding and unforgettable places on earth, so little wonder they are known as Las Islas Encantadas - the Enchanted Isles. The second ship in Silversea Cruises' Expedition fleet can easily navigate the waterways throughout this remote archipelago and is naturally suited for in-depth explorations. The 100-passenger Silver Galápagos offers intimate conviviality and comfort and we have received nothing but praise for this sleek ship.

There are seven grades of accommodation from Explorer Suites to Silver Suites and all have ocean views as well as the amenities guests have come to expect from Silversea. Higher-tier suites feature large private verandas or panoramic windows while every stateroom includes soft duvets, fine linens and a marble bathroom with shower, as well as refrigerator and bar stocked with your favourite drinks. Fine dining and comfortable lounges are all part of the all-inclusive Silversea experience. The crew of 70 ensures passengers live in the lap of luxury and range from butlers to expert chefs and experienced expedition leaders. Like-minded guests from across the globe are your travelling companions and the intimate, casual ambience is much like a country club where conversations flow as easily as the complimentary drinks.

Complimentary expeditions ashore are guided by Silver Galápagos' expedition team and offer the most authentic and enriching of experiences possible. You get the chance to observe unique ecosystems, hike through lush mangrove forests and across volcanic fields, explore natural lava tunnels, and learn about conservation efforts at the Charles Darwin Research Station. In addition, there are many opportunities to swim and snorkel while learning more about the sea life found in the tranquil clear waters that surround these remarkable islands.
