Ship-Specific Highlights

  • All-suite accommodation with a personal butler for every guest - all 51 ocean-view suites feature a private Horizon Balcony and butler service.
  • Basecamp - an expedition hub connected to the Zodiac embarkation area, with an interactive digital wall for briefings and gathering before and after excursions.
  • Dynamic-positioning system that holds the ship over delicate seabeds without anchoring, protecting the Galapagos marine habitat while zero-speed stabilizers improve comfort.
  • A dedicated aft Marina and RIB garage with eight Zodiacs and kayaks for water-based exploration, offering the highest Zodiac-to-guest ratio in the Galapagos.
  • Silversea's most environmentally conscious ship - plastic-free with reverse-osmosis refilling stations, SCR-equipped diesels (IMO Tier III) and a CFD-optimised hull for roughly 15% lower fuel use.
