Plus, for guests on the full “Circle South America” voyage, there will be a complimentary Silversea Experience in Devil’s Island and an exclusive event at Carnival in Rio de Janeiro. Similarly, full-cruise guests will be treated to a complimentary Silversea Experience in Fanning Island (Kiribati) and an exclusive event at the Sydney Opera House on the “Southern Cross” voyage.
“On Grand Voyages, our guests spend exciting days ashore exploring magnificent destinations at a leisurely pace, always returning to the easy-going luxury and special camaraderie of a small ship,” said Ellen Bettridge, Silversea’s president of the Americas. “They are perfectly suited to those avid travelers who have the time and desire to indulge their wanderlust on a grand scale.”
Whether sailing completely around South America or cruising the warm waters of the South Pacific, Silversea guests on these unique journeys will experience fascinating places and cultural encounters from the comfort and luxury of elite, all-suite vessels specifically designed for fewer guests — just 382 on Silver Shadow and 540 on Silver Spirit. Each ship features spacious ocean-view accommodations, sumptuous gourmet cuisine, the personalized service of a butler, and a generous selection of all-inclusive shipboard amenities, including complimentary beverages, wines and spirits served throughout the ship, stocked in-suite beverage cabinet, and all gratuities.
