Adventure of a lifetime
ULTRA-LUXURY pioneers Silversea Cruises are introducing a new Couture Collection of exclusive ocean and land adventures custom-designed for those after something a little special.
The inaugural 2018 collection is a portfolio of nine pre and postcruise luxury land programmes offering authentic travel experiences in some of the most remote and untouched regions on Earth.
These cruise excursions include exclusive amenities ranging from a private helicopter service in Mongolia to a vintage rail in India.
The tour programmes are limited to small groups and include most meals, beverages and exclusive culinary events. Guests enjoy inclusive luxury accommodation at renowned boutique hotels, lodges and private tents. Each bespoke adventure is fully escorted.
The White Desert & South Pole: Standing on the Bottom of the Earth excursion sees guests explore the spectacular ice caves and tunnels of Antarctica as well as climbing a glacial island.
They get the opportunity to photograph a colony of emperor penguins at Atka Bay, follow in the footsteps of Ronald Amundsen and Robert Scott, and be among the privileged few who have reached the South Pole.
Another tour of epic proportions is India: In the Path of Powerful Titans, where guests are transported throughout on private flights.
They will get to track tigers in Ranthambore wildlife reserve as well as travelling by vintage rail to Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur, where an elegant dinner includes stunning views of Mehrangarh – a centuries-old fort.
Also part of this incredible India experience is indulging in the charms of the ancient city of Jaisalmer from the comfort of the Serai luxury camp.
Guests then get to explore desert dunes on a jeep or camel safari before sampling delicacies at an elegant bush dinner.
The 2018 Couture Collection marks the cruise industry’s first customdesigned ocean and land adventures.
These land adventures enhance Silversea’s blend of indulgent cruising and offer a foray into parts of the world few other tours ever reach. ● For more details call Silversea’s cruise team on 0141 242 1337.
