Luxus-Kreuzfahrtschiff Silver Origin von Silversea auf See
Silver Origin · South America

Galápagos Islands: Genovesa and Española

7 nights · 30. January - 6. February 2027 · San Cristóbal → San Cristóbal

Discover the voyage↓

West of mainland Ecuador in the Pacific lies the Galápagos archipelago, a UNESCO World Heritage site of volcanic origin whose wildlife evolved in isolation from the mainland. The Silver Origin, carrying just 100 guests, is the only Silversea ship dedicated to these waters year-round, with its own naturalist team and a Zodiac fleet for daily landings. The seven-night round trip from San Cristóbal links the northern and southern islands into a dense wildlife programme of booby colonies, penguins and marine iguanas.
