Origin reveals its charms
SILVERSEA Cruises has unveiled new details for its upcoming
Silver Origin vessel, the cruise line’s first ever “destination-specific ship” catering for cruises to the Galapagos Islands ( CW 09 Oct 2018).
The 100-passenger, all-suite ship will boast the highest Zodiac-to-guest ratio in the region at 1:12.5, as well as new innovative spaces such as Basecamp lounge, an area where guests can socialise before and after excursions located close by to the ship’s Zodiac embarkation area.
Basecamp will also feature modern digital activations such as a large, interactive digital wall that allows guests to access destination content in the form of pictures, videos, excursion previews and scientific presentations.
Other features will include the ship’s Explorer Lounge, which will host daily briefings and lectures from the expedition team and also offer an area to relax with a bar, piano, and floor-to-ceiling windows.
The front of the vessel will be home to the Observation Lounge, offering Origin’s best views.
“Ever since the early planning phases, every decision on
Silver Origin has been made to strengthen the connection between our guests and this spectacular, unique destination,” said Silversea Chief Executive Officer Roberto Martinoli.
Origin is scheduled for delivery in Mar 2020.
