In Manta, not reflagged yet
Silver Origin is in Manta, where crew training and familiarization processes are under way. The ship has not been reflagged to Ecuador from the Bahamas yet.
Purpose-built for the Galápagos, Silver Origin was delivered in June following an extraordinary effort by De Hoop Shipyard, which voluntarily worked through the COVID-19 shutdown. Low water and high water conditions in the Netherlands were also overcome.
The 100-passenger Silver Origin will take over year-round sailings from Silver Galapagos.
