Silver Origin (Silversea)
San Cristóbal, Ecuador · Silversea · Core Luxury
Delivered in 2020 as Silversea's first ship built for a single destination, Silver Origin is one of only two vessels permitted to use dynamic positioning in the Galápagos, a system that lets it hover over the seabed without dropping anchor onto fragile coral. All 100 suites have their own reverse-osmosis freshwater system, cutting plastic bottle use by an estimated 17,000 bottles a year, and the ship funds its own conservation program, the Silversea Fund for the Galápagos.

History
Silver Origin was delivered by the Dutch shipyard De Hoop in June 2020 as Silversea's first ship built for a single destination, purpose-built exclusively for year-round Galápagos itineraries. It is one of only two ships permitted to use dynamic positioning in the Galápagos, letting it hold station over fragile seabed ecosystems without dropping anchor, and every one of its 100 guest suites has its own reverse-osmosis system that converts seawater into drinking water.
Silversea had already pioneered ultra-luxury Galápagos cruising in September 2013, and it funds ongoing conservation work in the islands through the dedicated Silversea Fund for the Galápagos.
