Embark Silver Origin to Discover the Galápagos Islands
See the wilderness that inspired Charles Darwin during our in-depth discovery of the Galápagos Islands.

Over seven nights, this expedition cruise of the region’s pristine waters and little-known sites brings us up-close to many endemic and extraordinary creatures.
Behold Easter Island’s Mysterious Moai
Easter Island’s landscape stands frozen in time. Its uncanny series of statues, named moai by the indigenous Rapa Nui, continue to watch over the island, as they have done for hundreds of years. With two full days on the island, we contemplate these giant stone ancestors from near and far while staying at Explora Rapa Nui resort.
