Each of the seven new expedition voyages will offer unique opportunities for discovery and adventure in destinations overflowing with ancient history, stunning landscapes and amazing wildlife. Led by a team of experienced expedition specialists, many with advanced degrees in their fields, guests will enjoy enriching, immersive explorations designed to expand their global perspective.
"These new and exciting expeditions offer the modern-day traveller a chance to rediscover the naturally stunning and historically interesting west coast of the Americas," said Conrad Combrink, Silversea's Vice President of Expedition Planning and Strategic Development. "Each unique expedition will offer a wide variety of exploration activities -- from discovering rich marine ecosystems by Zodiac, cruising historically important rivers or exploring volcanoes, to hiking in rainforests, discovering prolific wildlife and savouring incredible cuisine. Our selection of expeditions along the west coast of these two great continents are designed to impress, and will leave even the most intrepid traveller longing for more."
