The expedition fleet takes the same suite product and service standards into the polar regions and the Galápagos, with ice-class hulls, Zodiac fleets and expedition teams of up to 24.
Silver Endeavour is the most capable, a PC6 ice-class vessel acquired in 2022 with dynamic positioning and a laboratory. Silver Cloud was converted from a classic ship in 2017 and carries the largest expedition team relative to guests.
Silver Origin is purpose-built for the Galápagos, operating year-round with Ecuadorian national guides and a dynamic-positioning system that avoids anchor damage to the seabed.
