About the Resort
Silversea's first purpose-built Galápagos ship
Silver Origin is Silversea's first ship built specifically for the Galápagos — an ultra-luxury, all-suite expedition vessel carrying just 100 guests across 51 cabins, and the only ship in the islands with butler service in every suite. Italian-designed interiors bring Horizon Balconies and ocean-view whirlpool baths; the ship runs the highest crew- and guide-to-guest ratios in the fleet with eight Zodiacs, and an interactive 'Base Camp' with a curved LED wall briefs each day's expedition. Two 7-day itineraries, east and west — the only back-to-back option in the islands — are fully all-inclusive, down to wines, spirits and expedition gear.

What Our Clients Say
★★★★★
“The most extraordinary place I have ever stayed. Nothing prepares you for the depth of the silence, the beauty of the reef, or the sheer generosity of the experience.”

★★★★★
“We’ve stayed here three times now. The house reef has no equal. The stargazing was, genuinely, one of the most moving experiences of my adult life.”

★★★★★
“I had stayed at Four Seasons, One&Only and Velaa before visiting Silver Origin. They are all magnificent. But this is different in a way that is hard to articulate.”

Celebrity Flora
Celebrity Flora is the first ship purpose-built for the Galápagos — a design-forward, all-suite expedition vessel carrying just 100 guests across 50 outward-facing suites, most with the signature Infinite Veranda. Around eleven National-Park-certified naturalists guide the islands, with a maximum of sixteen guests per guide, and a marina deck launches pangas, kayaks and snorkellers straight off the ship. Two restaurants plus deck 'Under the Stars' dining and glamping, a small spa and gym, and a Penthouse running up to 1,288 square feet that spans the ship's width round out a fully all-inclusive resort at sea.
Galapagos
Pikaia Lodge
Pikaia Lodge is the most luxurious land lodge in the Galápagos — a carbon-neutral, contemporary lodge built atop two craters in a private giant-tortoise reserve in the Santa Cruz highlands, with ocean views on three sides. Fourteen keys run 61-square-metre rooms and 74-square-metre suites, one with a private plunge pool, behind floor-to-ceiling glass. A crater-rim infinity pool, the Sumaq spa and the Evolution Restaurant with a walk-in wine cellar anchor the lodge; full-board exploration programmes include land and yacht excursions aboard its own 100-foot M/Y Pikaia I — a land-based alternative to a cruise.
Galapagos
Finch Bay Galapagos Hotel
Finch Bay is the only beachfront hotel in the Galápagos — a National Geographic Unique Lodge on Santa Cruz, steps from Playa Los Alemanes across the bay from Puerto Ayora. Thirty-three neutral-palette rooms and suites include ocean-view Finch Bay Suites with hammock balconies and contemporary Evolution Suites. A beachside pool, a spa and an open-air restaurant sit by the sand, board runs flexibly from B&B to full-board, and the private Sea Lion Yacht handles day excursions. Carbon-neutral, it completes the Metropolitan Touring trio with Mashpi and Casa Gangotena.
