For those looking for a larger luxury-class cruise ship with an excellent range of facilities and personal service, the Silver Galapagos will not fail to delight.
One of the largest and most luxurious ships sailing the Galapagos, the Silver Galapagos has the capacity for 132 passengers, but to provide passengers more comfort, it only carries 100. Refurbished in 2014, the ship has 50 spacious air-conditioned outside cabins – all with spectacular ocean views, their own private bathrooms, and small sitting areas.
The Silver Galapagos offers an impressive list of amenities and social areas, including a Jacuzzi, a first-class restaurant and grill, a spacious dining room, an electronic elevator, the Explorer Lounge, a piano bar, a fitness center and massage room, a beauty salon, a boutique, a snorkel area, a library and a large briefing/conference room. In fact, that briefing room is used by the vessel’s six (6) naturalist guides, who lead daily shore excursions and offer nightly presentations and briefings to fully prepare passengers for the islands to be visited the following day. In addition, Silver Galapagos offers karaoke, stargazing, massage therapy, Spanish lessons and even cocktail-making classes. Indeed, you’ll be spoiled by all the choices.
And on top of all the pampering, this vessel also has power. Navigating the Galapagos Islands at a cruising speed of 17 knots, the Silver Galapagos enables passengers to see more of the Galapagos archipelago in less time.

“The trip was excellent from beginning to end. The Isabella II was a fine ship and the crew and guides were all of the highest quality. I would recommend them to others. For us, the ship was the perfect size – not too small and not too large.”
