Silversea has launched a new collection of Grand Voyages for late 2020 and 2021, including three expedition cruise options. Purposely designed for travellers who prefer a more immersive travel experience, Silversea’s Grand Voyages offer extended journeys of up to 70 days, with multiple overnight stays, a range of exclusive events, and many life-defining experiences.
“Our Grand Voyages perfectly exemplify our commitment to travelling deeper to discover the world’s authentic beauty,” said Barbara Muckermann, Silversea’s Chief Marketing Officer. “You can sail completely around Australia for 51 days, cross the Arctic Circle and the ancient monuments of Egypt on a 64-day voyage, or step foot on to the frozen continent of Antarctica and swim in the tropical waters of Bora Bora on the same 52-day voyage. Each journey will unlock amazing experiences, events and destinations, and deliver them to guests in superlative comfort.”
These unique voyages combine the luxury of sailing aboard the line’s intimate, all-suite ships with exceptional itineraries that take guests closer to the authentic beauty of the world – from the Arctic and Antarctica, to Australia, South America, the Caribbean and Mediterranean – featuring visits to the world’s most iconic ports, as well as exotic destinations that are off the beaten path.
