The ship that was bought over from Chrystal is the Crystal Endeavor. It's a small luxury ship specifically built for expedition cruising, which means that it is specifically designed to travel to remote and far-flung destinations on small and sturdy vessels outfitted with their own landing craft. The ship sailed for Crystal until January, when Crystal suspended operations after its parent company, Genting Hong Kong, ran out of money. Silversea purchased the ship for $275 million, which is a 29% discount on the ship's reported building cost of $385 million (or about $1.9 million per berth). Given that Crystal Endeavor only operated for six months, the ship remains almost brand new.

It use to be the Silver Galapagos that had the lower amount of guests. She has been replaced by the Silver Origine which caters for 100 guests.

Silversea Expeditions' fleet consists of 4 vessels; the Cloud, Explorer, Origin and Silver Wind. A 5th ship will be joining the fleet at the end of 2022, the Silver Endeavour.
