Silversea is plotting course for an exceptional series of immersive travel experiences of up to 70 days in late 2020 and 2021.

Featuring multiple overnight stays, a range of exclusive events, and many life-defining experiences, “Our Grand Voyages perfectly exemplify our commitment to traveling deeper to discover the world’s authentic beauty,” said Barbara Muckermann, Silversea’s chief marketing officer. “You can sail completely around Australia for 51 days, cross the Arctic Circle and (visit) the ancient monuments of Egypt on a 64-day voyage, or step foot onto the frozen continent of Antarctica and swim in the tropical waters of Bora Bora on the same 52-day voyage.”

From the Arctic and Antarctica, to Australia, South America, the Caribbean and Mediterranean, the unique voyages feature exotic destinations as well as visits to the world’s most iconic ports. They include:

Grand Australia 2020, a round trip from Sydney Oct. 31 to Dc. 20, 2020 on Silver Muse.

This  51-day cruise with 30 ports will circumnavigate Australia and New Zealand, as well as lesser-known islands of Indonesia.
