Origin and its twin vessel, Theory, are among the most luxurious options for naturalist cruising in the Galapagos. These vessels boast chic, stylish, and spacious interiors, and a truly all-inclusive atmosphere that includes fine dining and drinks in addition to your itinerary's activities. You'll enjoy exceptional service from a concierge-led international team, with a nearly 1:1 crew to guest ratio and trained naturalists leading each day's adventures. If you're looking for maximum relaxation, you're in luck. This vessel offers internet, an impressive sun deck, and open-air Jacuzzi.

This vessel's exciting itineraries allow visitors to choose from a southern and central, or northern and west Galapagos route. Both trips spend eight days at sea, visiting regional hotspots famous for breathtaking scenery and exciting wildlife, including marine iguanas, penguins, seals and sea lions, land tortoises, and a wide variety of birds. And, for the ultimate voyage, the two trips can be combined for an epic 16-day adventure. Special itineraries just for families with children are also offered, catering to the youngest adventurers in your group with daily guided activities and opportunities for them to bond with the other kids onboard.

Onboard Origin

The staterooms aboard this spacious and modern vessel feel more like rooms in a boutique hotel than cabins at sea. You'll enjoy all the comforts of home, plus stunning ocean views, chic designer inspired interiors, and little details like plush bathrobes. Just steps outside your door, you'll find a spacious sun deck and hot tub on the back deck, perfect for a soothing post-adventure soak. Head one level higher to relax in Origin's stylish twin salons and contemporary dining area where sumptuous chef-prepared meals and open bar service are offered. Topside, there's plenty of room to spread out with hammocks, sunbeds, and a sophisticated outdoor dining area ideal for al fresco meals with a world-class view.

Land adventures

Origin is perfectly outfitted for adventure, with two custom zodiacs for water-based coastal tours and trips ashore. During each day of your cruise, you'll have a chance to join naturalist activities led by regional experts. And, it's up to you to join as many or as few as you want. Snorkel with sea lions, penguins, and marine iguanas, kayak and paddleboard through mangrove channels, and hike along smouldering calderas, lava flows, and lush jungle paths.
