Explore some of the world’s most remote destinations in style with Silversea
When you recommend a Silversea expedition cruise, you know your clients will experience something special. You may have clients who love to cruise and want a taste of adventure; new‑to‑cruise customers who want to dive in at the deep end; or those keen to explore a remote location like Antarctica, Svalbard or the Galápagos Islands.
But wherever they choose for their Silversea Mission Expedition, you can be sure your clients will enjoy the ultimate in luxury, comfort and service – and it’s all included in the price.
Explore in luxury
Once on board, it doesn’t take long for guests to feel at home in their suite, enjoying ocean views, 24-hour room service and a butler to help with anything they need. Many suites also include balconies, perfect for whale watching or taking in the passing landscapes.
The observation deck is a relaxing spot for panoramic views and wildlife spotting, while the plush lounges and bars are the perfect places to unwind. Expedition ships also have an Explorer Lounge for presentations, lectures and film screenings, which bring destinations such as the Arctic and Iceland to life.
And when it’s time to eat, guests will enjoy the best in culinary creations, with each ship featuring up to four restaurants serving flavourful cuisines from across the globe.
From south to north
Silversea’s expedition itineraries visit distant corners of the world, where few visitors have set foot. For many, Antarctica is a tantalising destination, and Silversea offers a choice of a short trip or an in-depth itinerary. Your clients can even choose to skip the sailing across Drake Passage with a scenic two-hour flight from Punta Arenas instead.
Beyond the White Continent, Silversea sails to Svalbard, Greenland and the Canadian Arctic, destinations that combine icy landscapes and towering fjords with Indigenous history and a chance to spot polar bears.
Clients keen to stay closer to home also have more choice than ever, with expedition cruises around the British Isles and to Norway, Iceland and the Unesco Word Heritagelisted islands of St Kilda. For those who prefer warmer climes, Silversea can take your clients to the wildlife-filled Galápagos and the culture-rich Pacific islands.
Epic experiences
Learning about each destination through excursions and other enrichment opportunities is at the heart of Silversea’s expeditions. In the Galápagos, travellers can spend their days snorkelling with sea lions and turtles or hiking volcanic islands with expert guides.
In Antarctica, visitors will kayak past icebergs, take Zodiacs to shores teeming with Adélie penguins and explore the untouched South Georgia Islands. In warmer places, such as the Kimberley in Australia, passengers will stop at deserted spots where they can admire the region’s unique flora and fauna, take a Zodiac cruise or enjoy a scenic flight above the region’s waterfalls and gorges.
