VIEW SILVER ORIGIN DECK PLANS
The Silver Origin was designed exclusively to sail year-round in the Galapagos islands. The all-suite, 100pax ship has just five passenger decks but is large enough to allow it to have the largest crew-to-pax ratio in the islands at 1:1.11. As with other ultra-luxury operators, Silver Origin offers an ultra-all-inclusive experience. Flights to the Galapagos islands to/from Ecuador are included as are most drinks (including most wine and spirits), in-room dining, wi-fi, and expedition gear.
