Silversea Expeditions to Cross<br />
Fabled Northeast Passage in 2019<br />
Silversea Expeditions, the leading<br />
authority in expedition cruising, is celebrating<br />
its 10th anniversary with the<br />
introduction of its first crossing of the<br />
Northeast Passage – a remote and<br />
spectacular cruising route above the<br />
Arctic Circle. Few cruise ships have<br />
transited the passage, which follows the<br />
extreme coastlines of Asia and Europe<br />
and has long enjoyed a fabled reputation<br />
among seafarers.<br />
The intimate, all-suite Silver Explorer<br />
will become the most luxurious cruise<br />
ship to sail the route, as it passes 5,019<br />
nautical miles of dramatic seascapes<br />
and untamed wilderness on a 25-day<br />
voyage. On August 10, 2019, the iceclass<br />
expedition ship will sail from<br />
Nome, Alaska, to Tromsø, Norway, on a<br />
once-in-a-lifetime explorative journey<br />
through this challenging region.<br />
One of Silversea's most ambitious expeditions<br />
to date, the journey will encompass<br />
the UNESCO <strong>World</strong> Heritage Site<br />
of Wrangel Island, where polar bears<br />
and walruses roam and migratory birds<br />
nest; Champ Island, known for the<br />
large, mysterious stone spheres that dot<br />
its otherworldly landscape; Tikhaya<br />
Bay's Rubini Rock, with its stunning<br />
basalt columns; and the archipelago of<br />
Severnaya Zemlya, famous for its<br />
impressive fjords and majestic glaciers.<br />
The ship will also spend a day navigating<br />
as far north as possible, in the<br />
direction of the Ice Edge, in search of<br />
seals, walruses and polar bears on ice<br />
floes.<br />
Aboard the ship, guests will enjoy<br />
ocean-view suites, sumptuous cuisine,<br />
and the personalized service of a butler.<br />
