Silver Galapagos
With a Mega-Yacht Feel, Silver Galapagos is Pure Luxury
Touring some of the world's rarest, most pristine destinations is extra sweet aboard the all-inclusive, luxurious Silver Galapagos. Yes, it's a cruise ship but its intimate size makes it feel more like a mega yacht. About 75 crewmembers pamper no more than 100 lucky guests. All accommodations are finely appointed ocean view suites including butler service. Splurge a little and get one with a verandah – the vistas and sea breezes are worth it! The incredible sights and hospitality carry through to the Restaurant and the Grill, which also has an outdoor bar.
There's a surprising number of ways to have fun and relax aboard the Silver Galapagos. Get pampered in the salon or massage room. Curl up with a good book in the library or take a class in the fitness center. For more action, hit the Snorkel Area for complimentary use of the underwater equipment. After watching the wildlife, take a soak in the top deck's hot tub. The Silver Galapagos also provides eye-opening lectures in the Explorer Lounge, plus live tunes and signature cocktails in the Piano Bar.
Ship Activities
Silversea Expeditions in the Galapagos offers adventurous travellers the life-enriching chance to discover a wild, pristine paradise that has long been regarded as a natural laboratory of evolution. Enjoy up-close encounters with an abundance of Galapagos wildlife, including sun-basking land iguanas, giant tortoises, blue- and red-footed boobies, colourful marine iguanas, sea lions, penguins and Darwin's famous finches.
Join complimentary expeditions ashore guided by Silversea's experienced Expedition Team for the most authentic and enriching of experiences possible. Observe unique highland ecosystems, hike through lush mangrove forests and across volcanic fields, explore natural lava tunnels, watch for wild flamingos (in season), read cave inscriptions from the 1800s, and learn about conservation efforts at the Charles Darwin Research Station. Plus there will be many opportunities to swim and snorkel while learning more about the sealife found in the tranquil clear waters that surround the Galapagos Islands.

Meet and mingle with fellow travellers and your expedition leaders in the Piano Bar, where cocktails are served and views of blue seas and lava-rock landscapes are always on display. Your bartender will quickly learn your favourite drink, but do try one of the local concoctions — a Blue Footed Boobie perhaps. Accompanied by the music of our resident pianist, you can take your afternoon tea here, and enjoy pre-dinner cocktails before an impromptu dinner with new-found friends.
Snorkel Area
Snorkelling equipment for guests is stowed and cleaned in this outdoor area on Deck 3. Guests who bring their own equipment can also stow their gear here to dry after our water activities.

Library
Relaxing in the ship’s library, you can read books about the natural sciences, human history and conservation of the islands, and find maps and charts of this remarkable archipelago that sprawls over 36,000 square miles around theEquator. Here you can also find a choice of contemporary literature and an extensive collection of the classics, test your knowledge with daily quizzes and crosswords, or challenge someone to a game of chess or a board game.

The Grill
Soft breezes and island views beckon at the Grill, especially as the sun goes down, when guests gather at the outdoor bar for cocktails and tapas, and talk about their day. Dining options include a choice of lighter fare as well as grilled favourites and fresh-from-the-oven pizza. In the evening The Grill is transformed into an intimate, interactive eatery where diners can grill their own fresh seafood and prime cuts under a canopy of stars. This alternative dining venue is always a favourite with Silversea guests, and dinner reservations are recommended.
The Restaurant
The menu in The Restaurant includes a wide range of international selections to accommodate the global palate of our guests. Our chefs always include a choice of local Ecuadorean specialities to enrich your culinary journey, as well, but whether you choose Galapagos Lobster à la Galapaguera or filet mignon with truffles, your selections will be artfully presented and served. The Restaurant offers open-seating dining, which means there are no assigned times, no assigned tables. You are free to dine when, where and with whom you pleas
