Silversea launches Galapagos fund

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.
