Silversea Expeditions attracts travellers who are keen to keep exploring the remote regions of our fascinating planet. Thats why were always adding new destinations to our itineraries. In 2016, were pleased to debut more than 100 new ports. These include Aldabra Atoll the worlds second-largest coral atoll in the southern Seychelles, and Agats in Indonesias Papua province, home to the once-feared Asmat tribe.

Some of our new expedition experiences include flying to Bagan from Yangon to explore over 3000 standing monuments and spotting elephants in Yala National Park in Sri Lanka, a wildlife sanctuary that is over 100 years old.

Once again, well journey to our planets polar extremes. For many modern-day adventurers, Antarctica represents the final frontier. We nose through iceberg-strewn waters and pass mighty glaciers to track down sunbathing seals, breaching whales and playful penguins.

Our Arctic cruises take guests in search of polar bears, walrus, reindeer, seals, whales and seabirds during the brief summer thaw. Extraordinary marine and bird life is also a highlight of our expeditions to the Galpagos Islands off Ecuador. Australias untamed Kimberley region offers ancient landscapes and indigenous rock art, along with rugged cliffs and thundering waterfalls.
