as relaxing as it is stimulating. Settle into a quiet nook with a complimentary

cocktail to exchange ideas with one of the knowledgeable Expedition Team

lecturers or like-minded fellow traveler. With just 132 guests, it’s easy to get

to know your shipmates in an atmosphere that is unregimented and informal.

Expedition guests will enjoy many special amenities usually found only

on larger ships, including a library with Internet café, boutique shopping,

a full-service spa, fitness centre, sauna, live entertainment and two top-deck

whirlpools. Silver Explorer also offers some of the largest accommodations

of any expedition ship, all of which include ocean views, butler service,

Many suites also have French balconies or private verandas.
