Silver Galapagos dry dock

Mrs machotspur and I are taking a trip on Silver Galapagos in October. We chose this particular date as it was a couple of weeks after what we understood to be a significant dry dock for the ship in September. Since booking we've be waiting with bated breath to see if the dry dock is actually taking place.

Those that have a forthcoming trip on Silver Galapagos may be interested in the following press release that was issued by Silversea today.

PLANS ANNOUNCED FOR SECOND PHASE OF SILVER GALAPAGOS REFURBISHMENT

This September, Silversea Expeditions' all-suite Silver Galapagos will undergo a second phase of refurbishment during a month-long dry dock in Panama.

The renovations will entail a complete refurbishment of all suites, corridors and the Explorer Lounge. An elegant blue and beige color palette will create an interior décor echoing that of the recently refurbished Silver Discoverer.

These further enhancements will achieve a consistency of interior design within the expedition fleet. The 100-guest Silver Galapagos underwent an initial partial refurbishment last year, highlighted by the installation of new in-suite bathrooms featuring rich marble detailing, plus a new fitness centre, massage room, beauty salon, outdoor Jacuzzi, and Silversea's signature outdoor dining venue, The Grill.

Silver Galapagos sails Saturday to Saturday on seven-day voyages through the Galápagos Islands, following either a western or north central route. These expedition cruises offer adventurous travellers the life-enriching .. blah blah …..

Thanks for posting. Nice to hear.

I hope they fix the air-conditioning.
