I am thrilled to present the 2015 Silversea Expeditions voyages. Our three purpose built expedition ships will offer a worldwide schedule of 102 voyages, visiting more than 500 destinations on 7 continents, including 50 new ports of call.
Venture to the remote regions of our extraordinary planet. Our expert, specially selected expedition teams accompany each of our expeditions to far-flung lands. Each one of our staff is selected to enhance the destination experience and may include marine biologists, ornithologists, polar historians, glaciologists and anthropologists bringing the voyage to life with information.
In 2015 aboard Silver Discoverer, guests will have the opportunity to visit the thousands of islands that are Southeast Asia as well as Micronesia, Melanesia and Polynesia. In the Russian Far East we will witness the spectacle of the summer bird migrations, and search for Brown bear on the Kamchatka Peninsula. The Sub-Antarctic voyages will visit one of the most diverse pelagic ecosystems in the world, spending two days with King penguins and Elephant seals on Macquarie Island and majestic albatross on Campbell Island.
The glorious Kimberley region in Western Australia (my Antarctica without the ice) will reveal unique landscapes whilst we learn about the indigenous people.
Marvel at the wonders of the great white continent – Antarctica and see the King of the Arctic – the magnificent Polar bear. Join us in spotting Blue-footed boobies in the Galápagos Islands, Howler monkeys and Scarlet macaws in Central and South America, or be fascinated by cultural groups few people have ever met. Join us.

THE WORLD OF S ILVERSEA EXPEDIT IONS
Offering journeys that are just as exhilarating as they are luxurious, Silversea Expeditions’ fleet of three purpose-built expedition ships explore much of the unknown world while enjoying the signature distinctions that have made Silversea the epitome of luxury expedition cruising.
In the company of a highly experienced expedition team, sail to some of the most remote and isolated corners of the globe, landing on beaches undisturbed by tourists and islands uninhabited by man. Enter the realm of the polar bear. Glimpse an orangutan in the wild or an Elephant seal staking out his claim. Share in the traditions of Stone Age cultures while enjoying an all-inclusive lifestyle that is the ultimate in civility — the hallmark of Silversea.

INTRODUCING S I LVER D ISCOVEREREXPLORE THE MANY FACES OF ASIA-PACIFIC
In its first full sailing year and with a mere 128 guests, Silversea’s latest expedition ship, Silver Discoverer sails for lands untouched by time or tourist. Visit remote tribal villages where few Westerners have ever set foot, uncharted atolls and coral isles vibrant with marine life, and vast yet fragile rainforests that nature still claims as her own.
Discover the fascinating landscapes and Dreamtime legends of The Kimberley. Circumnavigate New Zealand’s Sub-Antarctic Islands. Spot the millions of seabirds and thousands of basking seals and sea lions in Russia’s Far East. Immerse yourself in the exquisite rainforests of the Pacific Islands or Stone Age tribes of Sulawesi and Papua New Guinea.
Aboard Silver Discoverer, you can explore these distant shores intimately and in depth — but with an array of gilt-edged refinements rarely seen in expedition travel.

ANTARCT ICA
For modern-day explorers, Antarctica represents the final frontier. Experience the stark beauty of the southern polar region and its unique wildlife on an expedition cruise. With its strengthened hull, Silver Explorer is purpose-built for adventure, pushing through ice floes to allow uninterrupted views of mighty glaciers, iceberg-strewn waters, sunbathing seals and breaching whales. A fleet of Zodiacs allows plenty of on-shore adventures too. Observe the behaviour of penguins in their natural habitat while experiencing this pristine frosted wilderness first-hand.

ARCT IC
Experience the Arctic Circle’s awe-inspiring wonders. Our Arctic cruises venture into remote regions at the top of the world in search of walrus, reindeer, seals, whales, seabirds and, of course, the mighty polar bear. As we glide past towering glaciers and snow-capped mountains under the midnight sun, learn of Viking legends and whaling history. Only accessible during the brief summer thaw, this intriguing yet unforgettable land will reveal nature's beauty and fragility.

EAST AS IA & RUSS IAN FAR EAST
With impassable winter ice floes, the Sea of Okhotsk north of Japan remains one of the world’s least explored yet most ecologically intriguing seas. The outlying Kuril Islands are a haven for seabirds, fur seals and sea lions. On the Kamchatka Peninsula, the world’s largest brown bears hunt for salmon. This geothermal wonderland is also home to volcanoes, geysers, thermal springs and boiling mud. Several expeditions continue to the Aleutians and the Alaska and Kenai peninsulas — among North America’s most inaccessible places. Others head to Japan’s wildlife-rich islands and coastal Siberia.

AUSTRAL IA & NEW ZEALAND
These two expedition experiences couldn’t be more climatically different. In northwest Australia, explore the untamed Kimberley. Under endless blue skies, gaze upon thundering waterfalls, soaring cliffs and ancient rock art. Explore tidal channels that are home to Saltwater crocodiles and the famed Barramundi. In New Zealand’s rarely visited Sub-Antarctic Islands, the scenery is equally dramatic. Visit all five island groups, each with its own distinct biodiversity. See a rare Yellow-eyed penguin, admire a Wandering albatross launching into flight and listen to a bellowing sea lion staking his territory.

MICRONES IA , MELANES IA & POLYNES IA
A trio of truly stunning island chains strung out over the Pacific, each archipelago offers its own remarkable culture and vivid colours. Yap in Micronesia, and Vanuatu and New Guinea’s outer islands in Melanesia, are home to some of Oceania’s most traditional people whose lives are centred on gardens, reefs, ocean and ancestors. Experience their exuberant, ceremonial hospitality. Polynesia, immortalised by the French artist Paul Gauguin, is a true paradise with some of the bluest waters on earth. Snorkel and dive coral gardens, home to many colourful fish.

Sulawesi is home to the Torajan people with their captivating villages, dramatic death rituals and timeless traditions. With Indonesia considered the global epicentre of marine biodiversity, the region is home to spectacular underwater wonders. The Philippines is another underwater nirvana, containing not only coral reefs and fascinating WWII wrecks but the Puerto Princesa underground river — one of the “New Seven Wonders of Nature”.

GALÁPAGOS PRE- & POST-CRUISE LAND ADVENTURES
Extend your Galápagos voyage with these Land Adventures. Offered before or after select voyages, these excursions explore a region’s must-see destinations and include accommodation, porterage, transfers, sightseeing and some meals.
LIMA, PERU
Amazon Explorer
Pygmy marmosets, Howler monkeys, toucan — the lowland forests of Peru’s Amazon Basin offer some of the most exceptional wildlife viewing opportunities on the planet. Journey to a destination where few travellers have set foot. Travel in all-suite luxury aboard M/V Aria, dining on perhaps the finest Amazonian-Peruvian gourmet cuisine on the river. Learn about this amazing ecosystem from expert naturalists as you cruise through wild lands of unsurpassed beauty. This adventure also includes an overnight stay and tour of Lima, Peru’s colonial capital.
Six nights post-cruise
Lake Titicaca & Puno
Journey into the Andes to Lake Titicaca, known as the ‘Sacred Waters of the Inca Empire’ and the highest navigable lake in the world. Cruise to the floating reed islands of the Uros people with their centuries-old way of life, and visit Taquile Island to admire the ancient weaving traditions of the Quechua-speaking Taquilenos. ‘Taquile and its Textile Art’ has been proclaimed a “Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity” by UNESCO. In Puno, visit the Sillustani tombs, ingeniously designed chullpas (burial towers) of the ancient Colla civilisation, before your overnight and flight to Quito.
Four nights pre-cruise
Machu Picchu Explorer
Begin your Galápagos expedition with the unmatched splendour of Machu Picchu, the glorious ‘Lost City of the Incas’ and one of the ‘New Seven Wonders of the World’. Set high in the Peruvian Andes amidst craggy peaks and billowing clouds, this spectacular monument of human achievement lay undiscovered until 1911. Tours, overnights and flights from Lima to beautiful Cusco and stunning Quito, plus a scenic roundtrip journey in Peru’s Vistadome train are included in this unforgettable land programme.
Four nights pre-cruise Three nights post-cruise
Machu Picchu Grande Explorer
Similar to Machu Picchu Explorer, this enhanced land programme, however, features a journey to Machu Picchu aboard the legendary Hiram Bingham, one of the top 10 rail journeys in the world. Travel in luxury in exquisitely and meticulously restored Pullman cars and enjoy brunch with live music as you travel through the dramatic Andean scenery of the Urubamba Valley. Stay overnight at the famed Sanctuary Lodge, the only hotel adjacent to Machu Picchu, allowing you to spend additional time to explore the ancient Inca citadel with fewer tourists.
