Most of us know that Silversea cruises include within their price Gratuities, drinks, a fully stocked in-suite bar (All staterooms are suites) and excursions BUT, with Silversea they do not call them excursions, instead they call them expeditions.
Silversea’s small luxury ships are designed for those who delight in the thrill of discovery while indulging mind and body in the most lavish surroundings imaginable. All accommodations are spacious, ocean view suites and most include butler service and private verandas. Silversea voyages and cruise expeditions sail to over 800 destinations on all seven continents, more than any other cruise line. Their intimate, ultra-luxury ships can sail up narrow waterways into the heart of a city, or tie up right at the pier while others must anchor off shore. And for those who yearn to explore the new and unknown, Silversea Expeditions can transport you to the furthermost boundaries of the planet. Renowned for culinary excellence and innovative spirit, Silversea’s luxury cruises offer a choice of open-seating dining options throughout the fleet, as well as several specialty venues aboard all non-expedition ships. Enjoy the ease, convenience and value of an all inclusive cruise fare that includes almost all of your discretionary onboard expenses.
In a world of multi-national conglomerates, Silversea Cruises is owned and operated by one family — the Lefebvres of Rome. This means genuine pride in ownership and a true Italian passion for embracing the best of life and a personal commitment to maintain the high standards of cruise excellence that have been the cornerstone of Silversea from the very beginning.
As well as your more local and popular Mediterranean cruises there are also cruises and expeditions you probably not thought of or even knew was there.
Kimberley in Australia for example, Found between Darwin and Broom this incredible place is almost impossible to get to my land.
Take a Zodiac boat up the streams and then wait as the tide goes out, It is literally like seeing reefs rise from the water and go 4 metres above the sea level, at the same time creating dozens of spectacular waterfalls.
Another highlight is the Bungle Bungle mountains. The pictures tell you the story.
There is an incredible amount of expeditions from all over the world that I could go through, The Very far east of Russia where you get to meet the locals who greet you and invite you into the villages, encourage you to try some local art, face painting and dancing and are more than happy for you to take your photos. At the same this area brims with amazing wildlife, Kamchatka Brown bears, Auklets and Puffins, Arctic Foxes, Humpback and Grey Whales and so much more.
The Far East.
Even for the most experienced traveller, the Far East can’t fail to fascinate. Here you can still glimpse the truly exotic — gilded shrines and floating markets, sampans in mist-shrouded harbours, harvested rice left to dry in the sun. But equally fascinating is the juxtaposition of the new and the old: skyscrapers towering over stone-carved temples: bullet trains speeding past rice paddies and tea plantations. From time-warped Myanmar to the orangutans of Borneo, Asia is a continent of infinite diversity.
Places I’ve never heard of!!
The islands of Oceania are among the most idyllic on Earth. Separated by vast expanses of ocean, the subregions of Micronesia, Melanesia and Polynesia include a broad range of environments from the massive mountains of Papua New Guinea to deserted atolls and lagoons of fantasy. Located in a geographic area that extends over three million square miles, they support an incredible diversity of tribal cultures with an intriguing repository of ancestral traditions, and enough untouched natural beauty to last a lifetime.
The World Famous and fascinating Galapagos Islands. This has to be on everyone’s bucket list.
With Silversea you can snorkel with sea lions, hike along lava tunnels and back to the beginning of time. Experience this living museum of natural history while indulging in the unrivalled all-suite comfort and elegant sophistication of Silversea. Watch bellowing elephant bulls challenge each other in a spectacular display. Admire the courtship of a Blue-footed Booby. Step over iguanas basking in the sun. It is not only the abundance of wildlife, but their fearlessness that makes the Galápagos a nature lover’s dream.
The beauty of cruising with Silversea is that for every expedition you go on there is an expert on hand, incredibly each cruise is led by 11 experts, an environmentalist, naturalists, Historians, Geologists, Biologists and more, all with a passion.
