Wandering through big cities, tasting trendy foods, and visiting well-known attractions are no longer enough to impress modern travelers. Setting sail on a cruise to the world’s remote corners to uncover pristine natural and cultural wonders is a truly unique life experience. The Silver Discoverer, the eighth ship in the fleet of Silversea — once named “Best Small-Ship Cruise Line” by Global Traveler — will set sail in March 2014. Led by a team of 11 historians, naturalists, and diving experts, it will explore remote areas of Micronesia, Melanesia, Polynesia, the Russian Far East, Southeast Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. From primeval forests and misty volcanoes to schools of tropical fish swimming nearby, passengers can rediscover the thrill and wonder of travel.

The luxury cruise group Silversea Cruises is renowned for its opulent ships and exotic itineraries. In March 2014, its eighth ship, the Silver Discoverer, will embark on journeys to remote regions including Micronesia, Melanesia, Polynesia, the Russian Far East, Southeast Asia, New Zealand, and Australia — among them the little-known Kimberley region of Australia.
The compact Silver Discoverer is the eighth ship in the Silversea fleet and will join the Silver Explorer and Silver Galapagos as part of the Silversea Expedition fleet. Since its launch in 2008, Silversea Expeditions has become a global leader in ultra-luxury expedition cruising, offering guests unparalleled views, closer encounters with marine life and wildlife, and environmentally responsible access to some of the world’s last great wildernesses.

Weighing 5,218 tons and measuring 338 feet in length, the Silver Discoverer can accommodate 128 guests. It features comprehensive onboard amenities such as 12 Zodiac boats for exploring marine ecosystems, a glass-bottom boat, a swimming pool, a fitness center, a spa, a restaurant, a poolside grill, and a panoramic lounge.
In addition, the high-caliber Silversea Expeditions team brings extensive knowledge and experience. Composed of 11 experts — including expedition leaders, dive masters, marine biologists, historians, geologists, and naturalists — they ensure an unforgettable journey for every guest.
The themed itineraries launched in 2014 include “Exploring Australia’s Hidden Gem: The Kimberley,” “Siberian Wilderness Adventure: Exploring the Sea of Okhotsk,” “The Diverse Faces of Indonesia,” and “Island-Hopping Through Micronesia, Melanesia, and French Polynesia.” Whether witnessing the twin falls of King George Falls plunging 551 feet, marveling at the spectacular Mitchell Falls from a helicopter, searching for bears, Arctic foxes, sea otters, seals, whales, and massive Steller’s sea eagles by Zodiac, snorkeling among countless tropical fish, sailing past the most remote atolls in the Pacific, participating in traditional tribal ceremonies, or visiting islands inaccessible to large vessels — traveling with the Silver Discoverer unveils the pristine beauty of the world’s ends.
