Eleven new overland
adventures in some of the world's most exotic locales are among more than 60
extended mid-voyage excursions Silversea Cruises will be offering
in 2015. Unlike a partial day shore tour, single or multiple day inland
adventures offer a more intimate, in-depth and personal encounter with the local
people, history, wildlife, and natural attractions that lie just beyond the
ports of call.
The following is a sampling of
the new mid-voyage land adventures for 2015:
Gorillas in the Forest
- (6 Days / 5 Nights -- Depart: Cape Town / Rejoin Ship:
Luanda)
A truly inspiring experience
awaits visitors to the Sanctuary Gorilla Forest Camp. Nestled deep inside Bwindi
Impenetrable Forest, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in southwest Uganda and home
to half the world's mountain gorillas, the sanctuary's tented camp is the ideal
base for launching guided safaris to track and interact with these amazing
primates in the wild. Available on Silver Whisper's April 5 voyage (#4508).
Taj Mahal & Jaipur –
A Magical Journey to India - (4.5 Days / 4 Nights -- Depart: Phuket /
Rejoin Ship: Colombo)
There are few places in the
world that evoke such profound impact on its visitors as the Taj Mahal in Agra.
Once the capital of the great Mughal Empire, Agra itself is well worth a visit
for its repository of some of the Mughals most famous monuments. And there are
few places in the world that compare with the Pink City of Jaipur, where guests
stay on this magical journey into India's wonders. Available on Silver
Whisper's March 6 voyage (#4506).
Over-the-Water Overnight
- (1.5 Days / 1 Night -- Depart: Moorea / Rejoin Ship: Papeete)
Perched above the water on
stilts, the overwater bungalows of Moorea's InterContinental Resort & Spa
offer a unique escape. They are iconic, thatch-roofed symbols of a tropical
paradise. Guests can watch marine life from their balcony or climb down steps to
snorkel directly in a Pacific lagoon. Available on Silver
Whisper's January 5 voyage (#4501) andSilver
Spirit's sailing of January 22 (#5502).
Galápagos Adventure
- (5 Days / 4 Nights -- Depart: Manta / Rejoin Ship:
Callao)
There is no place on earth quite like the Galápagos
Islands, carved out by roaring volcanoes and titanic geothermic
upheavals. Visitors may come face-to-face with a giant tortoise, or
admire blue-footed boobies and sunbathing sea lions. The program includes two
days exploring the islands by boat, plus accommodations at the Royal Palm Hotel,
located in the highlands of Santa Cruz Island. Available on Silver
Shadow's January 7 voyage (#3501).
