|
There is nowhere on Earth that is more awe-inspiring than the White Continent of Antarctica. With the austral summer burgeoning, offering otherworldly backdrops of untouched landscapes blanketed with virgin snow, we'll discover the Antarctic Peninsula and the Antarctic Sound, where endless white mountains roll to the horizon and massive glaciers churn icebergs into the sea. The small-ship Antarctica expedition will take us into an otherworldly world of the final frontier of never-ending blue glaciers, extreme temperatures, towering mountains, all spun in awe-inspiring majesty. With a plenitude of wildlife flying, swimming, and waddling around Antarctica’s shores and the continent's surprisingly rich and varied history, this ultimate adventure will keep on giving long after we’ve returned home. If it is change that you are after, if it is peace and tranquility you search, if it is grandeur like you have never experienced, then it can only be found in Antarctica. The continent of Antarctica is a fabled, ice-crowned wonder with superb wildlife and exotic landscapes, taking place in a setting that is both extreme and pristine. No place on Earth can compare! Join us on this life-changing experience, as we set sail and set our foot on the world's final frontier. We can guarantee nothing will ever be the same again. |
THE SILVERSEA CLOUD LUXURY EXPEDITION CRUISE With the Antarctica Silversea Cloud luxury cruise, we are starting a new chapter for Sights and Soul Travels: luxury cruises for destinations that lend themselves to touring from the sea. We can't help but be excited about this offering! It will allow a select and very fortunate group of women to embark on a door-to-door luxury cruise that will immerse us in the majestic beauty of the final frontier, the White Continent of Antarctica. The quality of service on Silversea Cloud imparts a wonderful sense of well-being from the moment we walk onboard and set sail. This is relaxation at its most distilled: we will be welcomed into the supreme luxury, as a team of butlers, trained to very high standards, will guide each one of us through every aspect of our cruise. We'll be in a place where all our needs are taken care of, before we even ask. A polite, professional, and friendly butler makes the difference between a great cruise and an amazing one. From unpacking your suitcase at the beginning of your voyage to shining your shoes to making restaurant reservations, your butler will be happy to serve you. He or she will make sure that your room is always in pristine condition, provide white tablecloth in-suite service, deal with any special requests, and guarantee that your customized, in-suite bar is always full. From drawing a scented bath to ensuring that everything you want is looked after, the Silversea butler service can't be beat. But, perhaps the greatest gift of the butler service is knowing that they are there when you need them and mysteriously disappear when you don’t. Throughout the cruise, we can enjoy the 24-hour gourmet dining, including alcoholic beverages, classy entertainment, lectures on places we visit, and shore excursions included every day. It simply doesn’t get any better than this. All you have to do is relax and enjoy the mesmerizing beauty of Antarctica. Enjoy a glass or a bottle of champagne, wine, beer, or spirits on the house. Your butler will also ensure that you have enough water, juices and soft drinks in the public bars and in your suite. Silversea promises to keep your mini-bar full of your favorite drinks and alcoholic beverages (wine, spirits, and mixers). Your butler will replenish them daily, but if you want a little extra, just ask, and you get exactly what you want. No wish is too big or too small. You’ll wonder how you ever managed before! We'll enjoy our meals as a group in one of the four fine dining restaurants or you can have your meal in your suite. The Silversea Cloud's gourmet dining options offer unforgettable dining experiences by creating long-lasting gastronomic memories. The meals are curated to be a deep-dive culinary immersion beyond anything you have ever experienced aboard a cruise ship. Setting sail on Silversea promises peace of mind from start to finish. That means no worrying about tipping the butlers or staff. The Silversea Cloud's expedition ship's crew-to-guest ratio of almost 1:1 ensures flawless service, and you never have to think about who should get a tip, how much and when. It’s all included! Yes, really. Silversea believes that not having to deal with tipping helps make your luxury cruise even more stress-free. Because the Silversea Cloud is a small, expedition-style ship, able to venture into inlets and channels where bigger ships cannot, we will have the fullest experience of visiting Antarctica. Every stop during our cruise will have at least one included shore excursion, usually a zodiac tour, a short hike, or a kayak excursion. A team of destination architects has carefully chosen onshore adventures that will allow us to get the best out of visiting Antarctica. Onboard, the knowledgeable expedition crew and specialist lecturers will be presenting informative talks on places we visit, to allow us a deeper appreciation for the continent we are exploring and a clearer understanding of how we can protect this environment and treat our planet with consciousness and compassion. We will hear from an Antarctic historian, biologist or zoologist, a glaciologist or geologist and an ornithologist who will broaden our understanding of Antarctica. With up to 28 expedition staff per cruise and zodiac outings to see everything from the wildlife and the animals to the Antarctic blue icebergs, this cruise offers a 360˚ immersion into one of the most unreachable and mesmerizing places on the planet. Added to that are superlative service, extreme comfort and gourmet dining onboard, and of course a wonderful company of other like-minded, intelligent, and funny women traveling companions, and we guarantee that this is the one adventure that you will never forget. |
