2014 Voyages

Since the 2010 launch of Silversea Expeditions, I have discovered some of the most remote corners of the planet. I have roamed with polar bears in the icy stretches of the Svalbard archipelago, watched voodoo rituals in remote villages in Toga, and taken Zodiacs across glassy bays in Antarctica with seals following in my wake. But until now one of the most fascinating ecosystems on the planet has remained outside my purview: the dramatic landscapes and wondrously unique wildlife of the remote Galapagos islands.

Dear adventure Traveller,<br />

since the 2010 launch of silversea expeditions, i have discovered some of the most<br />

remote corners of the planet. i have roamed with polar bears in the icy stretches of<br />

the svalbard archipelago, watched voodoo rituals in remote villages in Toga, and<br />

taken Zodiacs across glassy bays in antarctica with seals following in my wake. But<br />

until now one of the most fascinating ecosystems on the planet has remained outside<br />

my purview: the dramatic landscapes and wondrously unique wildlife of the remote<br />

galapagos islands.<br />

in october 2013, the beautiful new Silver Galapagos will begin operating two 7-day<br />

itineraries in Darwin’s “living laboratory of evolution.” led by an experienced<br />

expedition team, guests will hike through lava fields, swim in tidal lagoons and Zodiac<br />

across smooth waters, encountering a plethora of exotic wildlife such as iguanas, giant<br />

tortoises, blue-footed boobies, penguins and sun-bathing sea lions curiously unafraid<br />

of humans. The only luxury expedition ship sailing throughout these islands yearround,<br />

Silver Galapagos features 50 ocean-view suites, many with private balconies,<br />

gourmet cuisine and the personalised service of a butler.<br />

Silver Explorer will also sail to new horizons in <strong>2014</strong>. on an 11-day expedition to the<br />

volcanic islands of Japan and the Marianas, she’ll visit shores accessible only by sea,<br />

encountering fascinating cultures and viewing wildlife that is simply extraordinary.<br />

also new are the paradise islands of Polynesia including Fiji, stunning Bora Bora, the<br />

rarely visited australs and easter island, where guests have two days to unlock the<br />

mysteries of the gigantic moai.<br />

The year begins with Silver Explorer’s hugely popular antarctic program, followed by<br />

a northbound route along south america’s Pacific Coast. other destinations include<br />

the remote British isles, Norwegian fjords, svalbard and the arctic, and greenland<br />

followed by a highly anticipated Northwest Passage, an epic 23-day journey through the<br />

usually ice-choked waters of arctic Canada. Then it’s off to the russian Far east with its<br />

fiery landscapes, remote villages and brown bears.<br />

We hope that you will join us for the new challenges and discoveries that await on any<br />

— or many — of these exciting expeditions.<br />

regards,<br />

Conrad Combrink<br />

Director, expedition Cruises<br />
