Ready for a cruise with some heft to it? Luxury cruise line Silversea has just debuted a new collection of Grand Voyages for late 2020 and 2021 that includes several exceptional expedition cruise options for a cruise of a lifetime.
Designed for travelers who prefer an immersive luxury travel experience, Silversea’s Grand Voyages offer extended journeys of up to 70 days, with multiple overnight stays, a range of exclusive events and many life-defining experiences.
Sail around Australia for 51 days, cross the Arctic Circle and the ancient monuments of Egypt on a 64-day voyage, or step foot onto the frozen continent of Antarctica and swim in the tropical waters of Bora Bora on the same 52-day voyage. Each journey will unlock amazing experiences, events and destinations, and deliver them to guests in superlative comfort.
A unique luxury + expedition combo
These one-of-a-kind voyages combine the luxury of sailing aboard the line's intimate, all-suite ships with exceptional itineraries that take guests closer to the authentic beauty of the world — from the Arctic and Antarctica, to Australia, South America, the Caribbean and Mediterranean — featuring visits to the world’s most iconic ports, as well as exotic destinations that are off the beaten path.
Below is a recap of each Grand Voyage. Remember, on all these cruises, you'll get a better deal by booking through Cruiseable than you will be booking directly with the cruise line.
