Additional details

Sail Date: Nov 2014

The Silver Galapagos takes 100 guests and was not full either week of our b2b cruise. Guests fly from either Quito or Guayaquil (Ecuador) on a LAN flight to Baltra, Galapagos which is a five minute coach ride to the tiny pier where zodiacs arrive to take you to the anchored ship in the bay.

The officers and crew are by law Ecuadorian and the Naturalists are from the Galapagos, most of them live there so there knowledge is extensive.

The cabins compare well to the ships in the main Silversea fleet and were renovated in September 2014. We were on deck 3 which is convenient for the Explorer Lounge (lecture theatre) from where all trips depart. The Main Dining Room is on deck 2, the bar on 4 and the open air grill deck 5. There is a tiny spa, gym and jacuzzi fore on deck 6.

Cabin Review

Cabin Explorer suite

On the same deck as reception and the briefing room. Convenient for exiting to zodiac tours and collecting wetsuit.Has a public walkway outside the windows which is not used by passengers very much but the zodiac drivers and naturalists are often going by.Large cabin considering the size of the ship and fairly quiet except for anchor noise and motor noise from the gangway steps on the days they went down on the starboard side (roughly half the days at 6 am).
