There is a lot happening at Silversea Cruises. Actually, it would be better to say, “still happening!” The most notable – at least for me – is that Silversea has continued to expand into the luxury cruise behemoth. Since its acquisition by Royal Caribbean, Silversea has taken on three new
Silverseas’ Silver Nova is, in many ways, a next-generation cruise ship with many innovations, and, as a result, the guests are better dispersed, resulting in a wonderful sensation of space and privacy. There has been a lot of talk about Silver Nova’s asymmetrical design. It has resulted in what I
Silversea’s Silver Nova continued to impress both as a cruise ship and the delivery of a unique travel experience as we sailed down the western coast of South America from Lima, Peru, to Valparaiso, Chile. I have wanted to visit this part of the world for a long time. These

Silversea Cruises’ Silver Nova (and her soon-to-be-delivered sister, Silver Ray) is a game-changer in the classic cruise market. With her asymmetrical layout, extensive use of glass – focused on bringing the outside in – and modern design sets her apart from not only the rest of the Silversea fleet, but
This, my seventh expedition to Antarctica, was definitely different from my previous ones. There are really two things that my Fly the Drake Passage experience set it apart and one can see them as, “Hey, this is perfect for me!” or “I want a longer and more immersive experience;” a very
This has been a very busy yet relatively short expedition in Antarctica. It, as always, leaves me with a desire – no, need – to return yet again. The sense of wonderment, enormity, beauty, power, calm, quiet, mind-blowing nature, inner peace, and so much more is just something I cannot
