Silversea's expedition cruise line is pleased to announce the launch of Grand Expeditions.
It's rare when two Silversea Expedition cruises share the waters of the South American continent, and even rarer is the opportunity to connect two Silversea Expedition voyages with a land-based adventure. Silversea offers five expeditions ranging from 18 to 34 days, divided into three parts. All begin in the Galápagos Islands, then connect with a land-based adventure, and finally explore the coasts of Central America, South America, or Antarctica.
The all-inclusive Grand Expeditions package created by Silversea includes Silver Galapagos and Silver Explorer cruise fares at a 20% discount compared to their individual prices. The package also includes hotel accommodations, shore excursions, round-trip airfare between Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands, air and ground transportation between the islands, and charter flights to Ushuaia, if needed.
“Our Grand Expeditions offer a unique blend of land adventure combined with two incredible expedition cruise experiences – all led and organized by our experts,” says Tina Kierfel, Silversea’s Director for Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
