Silversea Expeditions - Turning ordinary into extraordinary with the Silver Discoverer

April 10th, 2014 by Kenny Wong

For 20 years Silversea has been a beacon in the cruise industry with the launch of the Silver Cloud. In an age of extraordinary technology and creative innovation, there are still places untouched by the spoils of modern society. With this in mind, Silversea Expeditions expanded their fleet in March of this year with the christening of their third expedition ship, the Silver Discoverer. It was an honor to be in Singapore and take part in the festivities as Silversea continues to dominate the niche market of expedition voyages. The question that begs to be asked is can Silversea navigate unchartered waters while sailing in the lap of luxury? The answer is a resounding YES!

The Silver Discoverer boasts spacious decks enhanced by panoramic common areas allowing the traveler to experience breathtaking vistas while sailing the most remote archipelagos of Asia Pacific. Skillful attention to design was given during the six million dollar restoration of the Silver Discoverer to maximize each guests understanding of the delicate environment of their exploration while sailing in comfort and style.

The amenities aboard this small but well appointed ship leave nothing to be desired. Elegant, yet uncomplicated, sophisticated but approachable, much more than you would expect from an expedition vessel. Staterooms are tastefully decorated in soothing colors and provide a delicate balance between luxury and nature just beyond the balcony doors. A flat screen TV, well stocked mini bar, BVLGARI toiletries, robes and slippers are all standard in every suite.

Mealtime is an exquisite culinary journey on the Silver Discoverer with restaurant options that focus on regional cuisine deliciously prepared and artfully presented. A six course menu is presented nightly at The Restaurant and features fresh seafood, prime meats and delicious, authentic Italian dishes. Lunch on the other hand is a festival of native gastronomy. Enjoy the satay, dim sum and expertly grilled options outside at the Grill or for an unbridled feast, head to the buffet in the lounge and indulge on a wide selection of sushi and sashimi.

When it’s time to go ashore, be prepared for the adventure of a lifetime. The expedition teams, led by Director of Expeditions Conrad Combrink, are an educated, passionate group ready to introduce you to places where time is suspended and progress stands still. Rich, diverse cultural immersion is what you can expect while traversing some of the most remote, least explored areas of Asia Pacific. Very few have had the opportunity to set foot in these tribal villages, gaze at marine life from a glass bottom boat, or stroll in amazement through the fragile rainforests until now thanks to this brilliant team!

What remains constant is the signature service Silversea is known for. Whether it’s the welcome aboard greeting that includes a glass of champagne, or the personal attention received from your attentive butler, you can feel the excitement from the entire staff and crew. This is the culture of Silversea. They want to be where they are doing precisely what they are doing and it is demonstrated by the care and thoughtful consideration every guest experiences. If you are a Venetian Society member, you’ll feel at home on the Silver Discoverer, if you’re new to Silversea, you’ll feel like royalty as you adapt to the customary service that has made Silversea a leader in luxury cruising.

With 167 new destinations on the 2014-2015 schedule, and more in the works for 2016, it goes without saying the Silver Discoverer is ready to make waves. 62 beautifully appointed ocean view suites await the 128 guest maximum. If adventure is in your soul and luxury a must, look no further than the Silver Discoverer for your next vacation at sea.
