The
Galápagos schedule offers adventurous travelers the life-enriching
chance to discover a wild, pristine paradise that has long been regarded
as a natural laboratory of
evolution. On complimentary expeditions ashore guided by an experienced
expedition team (certified by the Galápagos National Park Service),
Silversea's guests may experience up-close encounters with an abundance
of wildlife that includes sun-basking land iguanas,
giant tortoises, blue- and red-footed boobies, colorful marine iguanas,
sea lions, penguins and Darwin's famous finches.
The
program also offers opportunities to swim and snorkel in tranquil clear
waters, witness unique highland ecosystems, hike through lush mangrove
forests and across volcanic
fields, explore natural lava tunnels, watch for wild flamingos (in
season), read cave inscriptions from the 1800s, and learn about
conservation efforts at the Charles Darwin Research Station.
In true Silversea Expeditions style, the guests of
Silver Galapagos will enjoy full-scale exploring from an enclave
of luxury at sea that includes spacious, ocean-view accommodations,
sumptuous gourmet cuisine, the personalized service of a butler, and a
generous selection of all-inclusive shipboard
amenities, including complimentary beverages, wines and spirits served
throughout the ship, and stocked in-suite beverage cabinet.
