Silversea launches exclusive charter flights to Galápagos

Cruise Lines & Cruise Ships

Silversea is redefining luxury travel to the Galápagos Islands with the launch of exclusive charter flights, streamlining the guest journey and eliminating stopovers in Guayaquil. Starting July 5, 2025, travelers heading to the Galápagos aboard Silver Origin will now fly directly between Quito and San Cristóbal Island, cutting travel time to just two hours.

 

This upgraded service is part of Silversea’s mission to deliver seamless, enriching experiences in some of the world’s most remote destinations.

“We’re constantly evolving to deliver deeper, more meaningful travel experiences,” said Bert Hernandez, President of Silversea. “These charter flights simplify logistics, enhance comfort, and bring our guests even closer to this extraordinary destination.”

Luxury in the air—and on land


Exclusively reserved for Silversea guests, the new flights include private check-in, enhanced in-flight meal service, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, and blocked middle seats for added space and privacy. The charter also supports smoother transitions between land and sea, with pre- and post-cruise hotel stays and tour options in Quito available to round out the journey.

Once in the Galápagos, guests board Silver Origin—Silversea’s purpose-built expedition ship and the most luxurious vessel in the region. With 50 all-suite accommodations, full butler service, and a high crew-to-guest ratio, Silver Origin offers an elevated base for exploring the archipelago year-round on 7- to 14-night itineraries.

Onboard, guests are guided by Certified Naturalist Guides officially accredited by the Galápagos National Park, offering expert insight into one of the planet’s most unique ecosystems.

With these enhancements, Silversea continues to lead in expedition cruising—delivering unmatched comfort, access, and immersion in one of the world’s most iconic wildlife destinations.
