Luxury expedition cruise company Silversea has launched the Grand Voyages collection featuring extended journeys of up to 70 days, a range of exclusive events, and many ‘life-defining experiences’. The new collection, scheduled for late 2020 and 2021, includes visits to the world’s most iconic ports and exotic destinations — from the Arctic and Antarctica to Australia, South America, the Caribbean and Mediterranean.

“Travelling deeper to discover the world’s authentic beauty”

“Our Grand Voyages perfectly exemplify our commitment to travelling deeper to discover the world’s authentic beauty,” said Barbara Muckermann, Silversea’s chief marketing officer.

“You can sail completely 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.”
