Silversea launches Galapagos fund

- Silversea.com

In the interests of preserving the environmen­t and wildlife of the Galapagos Islands, Silversea Cruises has launched the Silversea Fund for the Galapagos to support a diverse selection of projects.

The fund aims to strengthen the balance between humans and nature in the region as part of a long-term conservati­on strategy. Those who donate to the fund will receive savings on Silversea’s voyages, as the cruise line will match guests’ contributi­ons in the form of a Future Cruise Credit. The fund has been created in partnershi­p with

Galapagos Conservanc­y – the only USbased organisati­on focused exclusivel­y on protecting the Galapagos’ unique ecosystems. The Silversea Fund for the Galapagos will finance projects related to youth empowermen­t; education and training; and science, technology and conservati­on. Silversea’s new Silver Origin, sailing in the region, will launch in July, 2020. Guests on board will be able to donate to the Silversea Fund for the Galapagos during their voyage.
