EXCLUSIVE VIRTUOSO WORLD TRAVEL EXPERIENCES
HELLO TRAVELERS The polar regions make an appearance on a lot of people’s bucket lists, and there’s nothing quite like them. It sure doesn’t hurt these days that they’re far away from home and far away from the crowds. For a journey to the Arctic or Antarctic with luxury accommodations and culinary experience, look no further than Silversea Expeditions. They’ve confirmed Antarctic sailings from Chile starting in November with safety precautions in place, and the Arctic season is slated to begin next June. Enjoy included economy or reduced business class airfare and an all-inclusive experience complete with Champagne welcome and guided Zodiac outings. Consult your travel advisor for details.

FEATURED EXPERIENCE
“We may have a polar encounter at 5 a.m.,
Expedition cruising and luxury used to be polar opposites, never the twain shall meet. Silversea Expeditions changed all that 15 years ago, making it possible to go to the ends of the earth in style. “Why not take small luxury ships to places that are very difficult, if not impossible, to get to you on your own, and use the ships as a platform from which to explore some of the most remote regions of the world?” Silversea director of expedition sales Karl Kannstadter said. The idea was simple, yet it changed the nature of expedition cruising. Out were the cafeteria-style dining, the shared bathrooms, the overcrowded cabins. In were specialty restaurants and spacious suites with verandas and butler service. From those verandas and picture windows, guests still take in the mystical landscapes and elusive wildlife they went on expedition to see. Thus, luxury expedition cruising was born.

or we may see Northern Lights at 1 a.m. Regardless, the Expedition team is always on the lookout for all the wonders that the Arctic has to offer.” In the meantime, there’s a spa and salon on board, a fitness center, lounges to watch the world pass by and a pool deck to enjoy the weather, whatever it may be. (Yes, the pool is heated in colder climes, and there are whirlpools.) Four restaurants provide your choice among French fine dining, authentic Italian, regionally inspired tasting menus and lava stone cooking. Silver Wind and Silver Cloud also venture to the opposite end of the world, where they’re joined by the 144-passenger Silver Explorer, which at a more intimate size has two restaurant options and no pool deck but plenty of public space. Unlike in the Arctic, you know exactly what wildlife you’ll see. “We know where the penguin colonies are, and we can promise that you will see penguins,” Kannstadter said. “ Lots of them!
And where there are penguins, there are orcas
