Strolling through metropolises, sampling popular cuisines, and visiting famous attractions are no longer enough to captivate travelers’ attention. Setting sail on a cruise to the farthest corners of the Earth to discover untouched natural wonders and rich ecological and cultural beauty offers a truly unique life experience. The Silver Discoverer, the eighth ship in the fleet of Silversea—which has been recognized by Global Traveler as “Best Small Cruise Line”—will set sail in March 2014. Led by a team of 11 historians, naturalists, and diving experts, the ship will explore remote regions across Micronesia, Melanesia, Polynesia, the Russian Far East, Southeast Asia, Australia, and New Zealand.

The luxury cruise group Silversea Cruises is renowned for its opulent ships and exotic travel itineraries. The eighth ship in the fleet, the Silver Discoverer, will set sail in March 2014. Passengers on the Silver Discoverer will be able to explore remote areas in Micronesia, Melanesia, and Polynesia, as well as the Russian Far East, Southeast Asia, New Zealand, and Australia—including the little-known and secluded region of Kimberley in Australia.
The compact Silver Discoverer is the eighth ship in the Silversea fleet and will join the ranks of the Silver Explorer and the Silver Galapagos as part of the Silversea Expedition fleet. Since its debut in 2008, Silversea Expeditions has become a global leader in ultra-luxury expedition cruises, allowing passengers to enjoy extraordinary scenery, get up close to marine life and wildlife, and explore some of the world’s last remaining vast wildernesses in an environmentally responsible way.

Weighing 5,218 tons and measuring 338 feet in length, the Silver Discoverer can accommodate 128 passengers. The ship is equipped with a wide range of facilities, including 12 Zodiac boats and one glass-bottom boat for exploring marine ecosystems, a swimming pool, a gym and spa, a restaurant, a poolside grill, and a panoramic lounge.
In addition, the high-caliber Silversea Expeditions team—comprised of 11 experts including expedition leaders, dive masters, marine biologists, historians, geologists, and naturalists—possesses extensive knowledge and experience to create unforgettable travel memories for guests.
The 2014 themed itineraries include “Exploring Australia’s Hidden Gem: The Kimberley,” “Siberian Wilderness Adventure: Exploring the Sea of Okhotsk,” “Journey Through Indonesia’s Diverse Landscapes,” and “Island-Hopping Across Micronesia, Melanesia, and French Polynesia.” Whether witnessing the twin falls of King George Falls cascading 551 feet down, taking in the majestic Mitchell Falls from a helicopter, searching for bears, Arctic foxes, sea otters, seals, whales, and massive Steller’s sea eagles in Zodiac boats, snorkeling alongside countless tropical fish, or sailing past the most remote atolls in the Pacific and participating in traditional tribal ceremonies on islands inaccessible to large vessels—the Silver Discoverer will allow you to discover the pristine beauty of the world’s ends.
