Elegantly decorated cruise vessel offering stability, a wide range of facilities and the personal attention of over 70 crew members for her 100 passengers.

One of the larger ships cruising the Galápagos, Silver Galápagos offers a more stable voyage than a smaller vessel and is a good choice for those prone to sea sickness. Its 100 passengers are well looked after by over 70 crew members, and enjoy plenty of space and things to do on board.

The air-conditioned suites are distributed over five decks. Many have private verandas and all are spacious with ocean-views, so you can watch the world go by from the comfort of your suite, plus, every suite category comes with an attentive butler service. Bringing together the advantages of a traditional cruise ship and an expeditionary vessel, Silver Galápagos also provides a wide range of facilities including a piano bar, gym, small pool, an outdoor hot tub, a spa and beauty salon. The décor throughout is stylish and elegant, characterised by soft, neutral tones.

Wetsuits and snorkelling equipment are available on board. Excursions are led by a highly qualified expeditions team, and due to the larger number of passengers, groups can be split by interest and ability to allow you to enjoy the on-shore excursions best suited to you.

  • The Galápagos Islands were fantastic and beyond our wildest expectations.

    AC

  • Wonderful experience

    Isolation on the Islands a feeling of being in the Galapagos by invitation of the inhabitants - the wildlife. A truly wonderful and privileged experience.

    SD, Rochester

  • Visiting the Galápagos islands and coming so close to so many special species of animals and birds was a memorable experience.

    JB, Chiswick

  • The wildlife on the islands (obviously the major reason for the trip) was spectacular and wonderful to experience. I’m please to have made the trip and would certainly recommend the Galápagos to anyone with similar interests and sufficient money.

    PM, Chesterfield

  • The wildlife in the Galápagos was so totally unbothered by our presence.

    SB, Leyland

  • We loved snorkelling with marine iguanas, turtles, and the lovely playful sealions.

    FM, Manchester

  • The Galápagos were above expectation – the best thing we have done.

    DL, Dulwich

  • A truly unique place on earth.

    KS, Southampton

  • How close we could get to the wildlife in the Galápagos.

    DG, Neston

  • The attention to environmental concerns on the Galápagos was first rate.  The national park is a pristine environment and every effort is being made to keep it that way.

    PT, Peterborough

  • Snorkelling with penguins, turtles, sea lions and marine iguanas. Unbeatable.

    DJ, Saltash

  • The Galápagos Islands are a wonderland. If I say that of all places I have visited in the world only the Grand Canyon is their equal in impact and living up to expectation you will have an idea of how they affected both of us.

    DW Lingfield

  • The Galápagos Islands were out of this world.

    DJ, Chesterfield

  • The Galápagos trip was very sympathetic to the environment and local habitat.

    AD, Dublin

  • The close proximity of the wildlife in the Galapagos is amazing.

    DW, Stevenage

  •  Impossible to choose between the Galápagos and Easter Island - both are magical, special places.

    SM, Wandsworth

  • The Galápagos cruise was just so good. I don't think I can remember enjoying a recent trip so much.

    NJ, London

  • Everything came up to expectations but the highlight was the Galápagos Islands

    SC, London, SW11

  • This was our holiday of a lifetime fulfilling a long held desire to visit the Galápagos Islands, and it lived up to all our expectations.

    SH, Aylesbury

  • So many (highlights) it's hard to single some out. The Galapagos are a joy from start to finish.

    JC, Littlehampton

  • Unique experience

    A holiday in Ecuador/the Galapagos is a once in a life time experience. A four day cruise whilst being an excellent 'overview' is just not long enough. Encourage all your customers to take the longest possible cruise.

    DW, Lingfield

  • The Galápagos Islands were something else- quite outstanding for the wonderful wildlife and abundant sea life while snorkelling.

    CP

  • One of us had not snorkelled for a very long time and was hesitant in deep water. Martin the Naturalist on MV Eclipse helped her overcome her fears and enabled her to accompany him resulting in amazing underwater views that she would not have had. The whole trip was memorable for both of us... We just loved the Galapagos.

    AL

  • The trip around the Galápagos was spectacular and I have never experienced anything like it before.

    LB, Enfield

  • The trip to to the Galapagos was the highlight undoubtedly - and the memories will remain with us for a long time -along with the huge photographic archive taken!

    CG, Stratchcarron

  • The range of wildlife to be seen in the Galapagos stood out but there were so many highlights.

    TH, Colchester

  • A truly wonderful and privileged experience!

    RD, Ashford

  • Most Memorable Moment: Swimming with sea lions, following hundreds of dolphins on the boat, diving with penguins

    KH, London

  • Galapagos was incredible. We loved it. The guides were all excellent and we especially enjoyed having guides with a naturalist qualification.

    LE, Poole

  • Breathtaking

    The Galápagos - just breathtaking - walking in woodland with wild giant tortoise grazing in clearings, watching wild land iguanas amble through long grasses, peering at eye level into the nests of red footed boobies, watching penguins and sea lions hunting fish whilst snorkelling, and as a finale, watching huge sharks circling in the boat lights during our final evening meal.
