Hidden Galapagos & Peru

The Silver Origin, purpose-built by Silversea for year-round Galápagos expeditions, is an ultra-luxury expedition vessel that redefines small-ship exploration in this remote archipelago. Designed from the keel up specifically for the Galápagos Islands, the ship accommodates just 100 guests in 50 oceanview suites, all of which feature private verandas, floor-to-ceiling windows, and butler service. With a sleek, eco-conscious design and understated elegance, Silver Origin seamlessly blends comfort with sustainability—utilizing dynamic positioning to avoid anchor damage, advanced wastewater treatment systems, and locally inspired materials throughout its interiors.

When traveling with Tauck aboard Silver Origin, guests benefit from Tauck’s hallmark service and exclusive programming. Your cruise may be a shared ship experience with non-Tauck guests onboard as well; all Tauck guests will be accompanied by one Tauck Director for approximately every 40 Tauck guests, and your itinerary will always be highlighted by exclusive, private Tauck shore excursions. The onboard experience is further enhanced by a team of Galápagos National Park-certified guides (with a 10-to-1 guest-to-guide ratio), expert-led lectures in the ship’s Basecamp discovery center, and immersive briefings in the Explorer Lounge. Guests enjoy regional cuisine at The Restaurant and The Grill, both featuring Ecuadorian flavors and locally sourced ingredients. Outfitted with a fleet of Zodiacs and designed for close-up exploration, Silver Origin offers a seamless blend of expedition adventure, luxury hospitality, and Tauck’s signature attention to detail.
