(21 August 2012) Ultra-luxury Silversea Cruises has released two new brochures showcasing over 200 imaginative voyages sailing from January through December 2013 to over 450 destinations on seven continents.

The new 2013 Voyages atlas immediately captures the imagination with an exquisite cover design that hints at the luxurious travel experiences revealed within its 176 pages. Devoted to the remarkable journeys of Silver Cloud, Silver Wind, Silver Shadow, Silver Whisper and Silver Spirit, this comprehensive guidebook showcases Silversea's exclusive world, where luxury is found in every detail.

Also just released is Silversea Expeditions' 2013 Voyages brochure. Formerly enfolded within the company's main atlas, it is now available as a stand-alone 48-page guide to Silver Explorer's amazing voyages of adventure. It highlights 27 expedition cruises sailing from pole to pole and to some of the world's most remote destinations in between.

Ellen Bettridge, Silversea's president of the Americas, said: "Our new brochures reveal the many unique elements that are woven together to create an extraordinary holiday experience for our guests. These include intimate ships, luxurious amenities, superb cuisine, amazing destinations, and the ability our guests have to personalise their experience with bespoke land adventures, options for customising their suites and a choice of cruise-only or all-inclusive pricing."

Silversea's 2013 Voyages atlas opens with several pages of stylish imagery and engaging content devoted to revealing the hallmarks of Silversea's unique luxury lifestyle. The balance of the brochure provides a snapshot of "What's New" followed by detailed worldwide cruise itineraries by region, including shore excursion recommendations, descriptions of land programmes, deck plans and general information. A pricing summary booklet is contained in the back cover pocket.
