EXPERTS BY YOUR SIDE

An experienced Expedition Team on every voyage

Silversea Expeditions have one of the highest expedition personnel-to-guest ratios in all of expedition cruising. Drawing on our deep connections worldwide, every voyage features a team of 11 to 28 qualified specialists – naturalists, scientists, ornithologists, glaciologists – with expertise tailored to the wildlife, wilderness, and culture of a specific region.

These experienced and talented professionals are chosen for their passion and dedication to their specialised field, as well as for their openness, friendliness, and genuine enthusiasm. From leading daily “Recap & Briefing” lectures and engaging discussions on board to hosting all excursions off-ship – by Zodiac, kayak, hiking, and more – our Expedition Teams are an essential part of your expedition, elevating your discovery with shared secrets and memorable stories.

ITINERARY-SPECIFIC EXPERTISE

Assembled specifically for each itinerary, Expedition Team members range from biologists and ornithologists to geologists, historians and photographers. They make sure you are thoroughly cared for on every adventure, leaving you confident and free to enjoy each moment.

Whether you’re curious about wildlife, wondering about land formations, or simply trying to figure out the best exposure setting on your camera, someone is always nearby to provide answers and insight.

Zodiac Cruising

There’s nothing quite like the sight of animals in the wild or the awe of millions of birds nesting on towering cliffs – especially when witnessed with the unique perspectives afforded on a Zodiac excursion. Our Expedition Team members will get you close to the action, all you have to do is climb aboard.

Group Hikes

Get up close and personal with the stunning landscapes and teeming wildlife of the world’s most remote regions on expert-led hiking adventures from the Kimberley to Mozambique and beyond. What better way to truly discover the diversity of flora and fauna found nowhere else on Earth?

Active Kayaking

Under the guidance of certified kayak instructors, take charge of your discovery on a kayaking adventure through ancient islands in the Galápagos or rugged coastlines in Patagonia. Imagine the perspective of birding cliffs in the Hebrides or the sight of flamingoes along the Great Berg River in South Africa.

Please note: When travelling in remote regions, all activities are dependent on tides, winds, weather, and ice conditions.

Insightful Lectures

Understanding the unique aspects of each destination – its wildlife, geology, culture and more – is an inherent part of your expedition experience. Our experts host conversational lectures in advance of each port of call or landing site to ensure you are well prepared for the adventure.
