Silversea Cruises has announced the introduction of exclusive non-stop charter flights from Quito to San Cristóbal Island in the Galápagos, offering guests of the Silver Origin a more efficient and luxurious travel experience. By eliminating the usual stopover in Guayaquil, the new service shortens travel time to just two hours and includes private check-in, enhanced onboard amenities, and curated in-flight dining. The service includes gourmet meals, blocked middle seats for added comfort, and options for pre- and post-cruise stays in Quito, including guided tours of the UNESCO-listed Old Town.
Aboard Silver Origin, Silversea offers 50 all-suite accommodations, each with a private butler, and one of the highest staff-to-guest ratios in the cruise industry. The ship features Certified Naturalist Guides licensed by the Galápagos National Park and uses sustainable practices such as energy-efficient systems and locally sourced products. These enhancements are part of Silversea’s goal to provide a refined yet environmentally conscious expedition. The new charter flights, combined with the onboard experience and Quito packages, aim to deliver a seamless, luxury Galápagos journey.
