​FROM ANTARCTICA TO THE KIMBERLEY COAST: SILVERSEA CONTINUES TO UNLOCK REMARKABLE EXPERIENCES IN ITS 10th YEAR OF EXPEDITION CRUISING

In its 10th year of expedition cruising, industry-leading Silversea Cruises is continuing to unlock a broad range of deep travel experiences for guests.  From the cool conditions of Antarctica to the warm climates of Australia and beyond, Silversea’s guests will explore over 900 destinations in 2019—more than any other cruise line. Standout experiences include a recent trip to the isolated waters of the 66th parallel south and a number of upcoming voyages in the spectacular Kimberley region. Until 28 February, Silversea is offering guests an additional saving of AUD$350 per person, based on double occupancy, on select Kimberley voyages. Single supplements from only 125% are also available on select voyages.

On 13 January, Silversea’s Silver Cloud journeyed to the 66th parallel south, crossing into the Antarctic Circle, the first time the ship has ventured so far south. Guests were rewarded with a special ‘Red Nose’ ceremony on the pool deck, and shortly after, a record 98 guests celebrated with a polar plunge, followed by informative lectures and trivia games. Guests even spotted humpback whales as the ship sailed northward, rounding off a successful day.
“You could feel the excitement in the air as we sailed closer to the line,” says Brooke Greene, a member of Silversea’s Expedition Team. “It was a special moment for everyone because most of the staff had never been below the Antarctic Circle, and it was certainly the first time for all the guests. It made it all the more special that it was the first time for Silver Cloud as well.”
“Guided by our industry-leading Expedition Team, who enrich the adventure for our guests, our voyages to Antarctica are unique in their offering,” says Conrad Combrink, Silversea’s SVP Strategic Development Expeditions and Experiences. “Not only do guests travel deeper into the last continent, witnessing the iconic sights that define this incredible region, but they do so in ultimate comfort with Silversea’s trademark service.”
Cruising in a distinctly different ecosystem to that of Silver Cloud, Silver Discoverer will enable guests to explore Australia’s Kimberley Coast throughout 2019, showcasing the destination’s beautiful landscapes, remarkable wildlife, and fascinating aboriginal history, among other alluring features. Offering truly immersive experiences in the region, Silversea guests will journey to the King George Falls by Zodiac®, getting close enough to feel the spray from the 80m twin cascades; witness Aboriginal rock art dating back more than 50,000 years; and spot spectacular wildlife, including the saltwater crocodile, rare bird species, and various reptiles. Many other memorable experiences will ensure a once-in-a-lifetime voyage.

Broome (Kimberley) to Darwin – Silver Discoverer will then journey between the same captivating destinations once more, from 25 May 2019. From Broome in the Kimberley, guests will enjoy an overnight in the Buccaneer Archipelago Region and an overnight in the Hunter River Region, before discovering the beauty of King George River, Wyndham, and Saumlaki in Indonesia, prior to arriving in Darwin. Fares start from AUD$10,500* per person, based on double occupancy in an explorer suite. An additional saving of AUD$350* per person is also available until 28th February, based on double occupancy.
“Many travellers who visit the Kimberley Coast share the opinion that it is a life-changing destination,” says Adam Armstrong, Silversea’s Managing Director for Australia & New Zealand. “This remote and unspoiled region is a truly unique place that is best explored by ship. Silversea’s trademark level of comfort and exemplary service complement the immersive experiences on offer to make these expedition voyages unforgettable for guests.”
Aboard Silver Discoverer, as on all other ships in Silversea’s fleet, guests enjoy ocean-view suites, sumptuous cuisine, and the personalised service of a butler. Enriching the experience are such all-inclusive amenities as complimentary premium wines and spirits, speciality coffees, bottled water, juices and soft drinks served throughout the ship; an in-suite bar, stocked with guests' preferences; in-suite 24-hour dining; and unlimited complimentary Wi-Fi.
