Silversea Cruises has enjoyed 10 years of synergy between its luxury and expedition segments. It has borrowed a concept from luxury cruising to introduce the first expedition world cruise.
The full cruise, will launch in January 2021, will be a long one. It is scheduled to last 167 days, stopping in 107 port calls and visiting 30 countries. While most world cruises are organized to avoid cold weather in the Northern Hemisphere early in the calendar year, Silversea’s expedition world cruise will launch on the Silver Cloud in Ushuaia, Argentina on January 30, 2021 and head to Antarctica. From there, the cruise gets gradually warmer as it heads up the west coast of South America and crosses the Pacific to visit Tahiti, Fiji, Australia and Indonesia.
This expedition cruise will make more frequent stops and visit smaller ports than most luxury world cruises. The Silver Cloud will visit only a handful of big cities, Singapore, Athens, Lisbon and London among them. In addition to the lengthy itinerary, the Silversea expedition team of 28 guides and special speakers will bring extra value to the cruise. Speakers include Felicity Aston, the first and only woman to cross Antarctica alone and Tim Severin, a world renowned explorer who has retraced the mythical adventures of Ulysses and Jason and the Argonauts, among others. Special events on the cruise include a private dinner on a walkway of London’s Tower Bridge and an exclusive Viking feast in Kjarnaskkogur Forest in Iceland.
This is going to be the most unique world cruise offered to date, and will offer an incredible and unique travel experience.
