Silversea announces its partnership with the renowned outdoor equipment firm Haglöfs, creating two new jackets that the luxury cruise company will give away, starting in June 2016, to guests enjoying expedition cruises to Antarctica, the Arctic, the Chilean fjords, the Russian Far East and sub-Antarctic New Zealand.
More than one hundred years of research and development have contributed to and support the success of Haglöfs and its positioning among the most respected and prestigious brands in its sector.
Haglöfs has become a leading company in the outdoor thanks to the innovation of its materials and the originality of its patterns, which have led it to receive several international awards and distinctions.
“Like a step on virgin snow, everything we do leaves a mark on the world. Our choice and responsibility lies in making that mark as inconspicuous as possible. On our journey to the future, our desire is simply to leave footprints on the ground…” This statement is the quintessential Haglöfs vision for a more sustainable world.
This alliance reinforces Silversea's commitment to offering its guests a sustainable expedition travel experience that exceeds their expectations by providing an unforgettable journey of discovery.
These new garments feature an inner layer with Haglöfs' signature Quad+ Fusion™ technology and a stiffer outer layer of soft fabric made with Pertex® Microlith™ technology. This combination provides warmth and excellent insulation thanks to a perfect balance of lightweight softness, durability, and water resistance. Conrad Combrink, Director of Expedition Planning and Strategic Development, stated: “We are proud to honor our expedition travel clients with the leading experts in the outdoor. The new Haglöfs jackets will allow them to fully enjoy their surroundings and the environment in comfort and style. Our butlers will be happy to help our guests pack these new jackets for their return journey. In addition to adding no extra weight thanks to their extreme lightness, they feature an innovative and practical self-folding system. These garments will become cherished mementos of their adventures and discoveries.”
The Silversea Expeditions program is a leader in the expedition cruise industry. It offers all-inclusive luxury voyages to some of the most remote regions on Earth. The expertise of the onboard crew, combined with the endorsement and enrichment of lectures delivered by the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG), allows guests to experience the ultimate expedition cruise adventure.
