Expedition Destinations Remote and Remarkable
Embark on an amazing
adventure with Silversea. Expedition destinations include the frozen polar regions of Antarctica and the Arctic, Europe’s remote northern isles, Norway’s breathtaking fjords and the tropical beauty of Latin America. New for 2012, Silver Explorer international expeditions include Franz Josef Land in the Russian Arctic and three itineraries
that explore the cultures along Africa’s less visited western coast.
Every journey is new and unique, every day unlike any that has come before. Itineraries are unstructured by design. Following only a tentative schedule allows for moment-by-moment flexibility. Stay longer at expedition destination sites of particular interest, or make slight detours whenever weather, nature or mere curiosity dictate. Your Expedition Leader will work closely with the Captain to ensure opportunities for adventure and exploration are the best possible, based on prevailing weather, wildlife activity and sea/ice conditions.
