Written by Chris Weatherhead | January 14, 2020

7 Continents, Infinite Possibilities

An expedition with Silversea luxury cruises is unlike any other form of travel – thrilling, awe-inspiring and humbling all at the same time. It takes you to some of the most remote regions of the planet and shows them to you intimately.

 

It is for the curious traveler who longs to see an orang-utan in the wild or what lies behind the next mountain ridge. But it’s not just about wildlife or mountains. It’s about immersing yourself in the culture, landscape, and habitat of a region with the help of experts who can illuminate all you see.

From the lush rainforests of the equatorial Pacific to the polar extremes at the very edge of the world, our expedition ships sail to all seven continents. You can explore pelagic wonderlands, admire volcanic plateaus gushing with geysers, or enter the realm of the Polar Bear.

But no matter where you go, you’ll enjoy a uniquely immersive experience, expanding your global perspective and prompting you to re-evaluate what really matters. And rest assured – no creature comfort will be denied on an expedition cruise with Silversea…
