2014 SILVERSEA EXPEDITIONSINTRODUCING SILVER GALAPAGOS

2Silver Explorer, Antarctica

3

Dear Adventure Traveller,

I am very excited to present our Silversea Expeditions

for 2014 including the new Silver Galapagos. As Director

of Expedition Cruises, I’ve planned itineraries for

Silversea Expeditions since the very beginning, and have

to say that 2014 is going to be, in a word… fantastic!

Silver Galapagos begins operations starting in September

2013, offering a choice of two incredible 7-day itineraries

throughout the remote Galápagos Islands. Each offers a

unique combination of secluded setting, great wildlife and

onboard luxuries for a truly spectacular experience that

should not be missed.

As for the elegant Silver Explorer, the year begins with

our always popular Antarctic cruises, followed by a

non-traditional northbound route along South America.

Silver Explorer guests can discover a destination in ways

very different than with the big ships. We can anchor and

go ashore by Zodiac to see wildlife in its natural habitat

and are able to spend more time in port.

Silver Explorer also visits the remote British Isles,

Norway’s scenic fjords and spends summer with the polar

bears in the Arctic.

A shortened Svalbard season allows us to experience

Greenland before commencing our highly anticipated

Northwest Passage itinerary. This epic 23-day journey

navigates the usually ice-choked waters of Arctic Canada.

Then it’s off to the Russian Far East with its volcanic

landscapes, remote villages and brown bears.

New for 2014, Silver Explorer discovers the remote

islands of Japan, the Marianas and Micronesia. Accessible

only by sea and rarely visited by outsiders, the cultures

are fascinating and the unspoiled reefs are extraordinary.

Deep in the South Pacific, we find Fiji and beautiful

Bora Bora, spend two incredible days in Easter Island,

and are the only cruise line to visit the lush Austral

Islands. 2014 concludes as it began with another

exhilarating Antarctic season, featuring a special extended

holiday sailing.

We hope that you will join us in 2014 for any – or many –

of these exciting Silversea Expeditions.

Adventure-seeking travellers with discerning tastes are thrilled to discover Silversea Expeditions – cruises that are just as luxurious as they are

exhilarating. Complimentary excursions are guided by our own team of expert naturalists and limited to small groups for an intimate, uniquely personal experience of the destination. You will not only enjoy day after day of remarkable wildlife and cultural encounters but also Silversea’s many all-inclusive indulgences. All accommodations have ocean views,

personalised butler service and superb dining. Silversea Expeditions – bound for distant shores and bound to change the way you explore the world.

Silversea’s purpose-built Silver Explorer expedition ship accommodates just 132 guests and has been designed specifically for navigating

A strengthened hull with a Lloyd’s Register ice-class notation (1A) for passenger vessels enables Silver Explorer to safely push through ice floes with ease.
