Almost everything is included in the cruise price, even high-priced drinks like champagne do not cost extra.
About Silversea Cruises

This aim has been achieved and today Silversea offers one of the most luxurious products in the world of cruise ships. All of the ships are relatively small so that interesting routings and special ports of call all over the globe are on offer.

Silver Origin staterooms
The staterooms of the Silver Origin are designed by GEM-Design for cruise ships. This is the same team that designed the interior of Silver Muse. The enviroment of the Galapagos-Islands will influence the interior of the Silver Origin as well. Regional materials will be used and light, colourful motives will be shown.
Atmosphere on board of Silver Origin
The onboard language is English. Due to its passengers from all around the world the atmosphere is very cosmopolitan. The age of the passengers is mixed, but mostly up from 45 years. You should dress smart casual and suitable to the weather during the day. During a one week-trip there will be two formal evenings where men should wear a dark suit or tuxedo. Because there are only few children on board the atmosphere is very calm.
Silver Origin restaurants

Entertainment, sports and relaxation
Onboard of Silver Origin you will find an innovative room: the "basecamp". This is an elegant lounge where you meet before or after your shore excursion or take part in educational events. There will be an interactive digital wall on which you can see different presentations, shore excursions or pictures/videos. Furthermore, there will be several lounges onboard which invite you to relax.
Eco-friendliness
The Silver Origin will be very environment-friendly for the Galapagos-Islands. Due to a new positioning system the cruise ship will be able to keep the position on the ocean without damaging the sea ground. The ship itself will be plastic-free. Seawater will be turned in to drinking water and the guest will be gifted a metallic reusable bottle to refill. This will save approx. 17,000 plastic bottles per year.
