Grand Northern Expedition

Let us take your breath away on this Grand Voyage that sees stunning nature, iconic cities and honest people in equimeasure. Begin your odyssey by travelling on the heady scents of nutmeg, cardamom and cinnamon and cross centuries of civilisations in the process. Soothed by a soundtrack that includes a Suez Canal crossing, and UNESCO World Heritage Sites, meander to Muscat, sail to Safaga and navigate to Naxos, getting ready to embrace the Aegean. Because now it’s time to strap up your sandals, go beyond the tourists and uncover Byzantine, Ottoman, Greek and Roman architectural masterpieces worthy of any modern civilisation. Delve into a past piled high with history, as we slowly wend our way north. Watch with wonder at the changing coastline; from Mediterranean beaches to weather-beaten moors, taking in tiny islands and iconic cities along your way. With the cacophony of seabirds overhead, cruise into the journey finale at the very top of the world.

After extensive refurbishment, Silver Cloud is the most spacious and comfortable ice class vessel in expedition cruising. Her large suites, her destination itineraries and her unparalleled service make her truly special. Her four dining options will tantalise your taste buds and as 80% of her suites include a veranda, watching a breaching whale or a few cavorting penguins has never been so personal. A limited number of guests in polar waters, mean that Silver Cloud has one of the highest crew to guest and space to guest ratios in expedition cruising. With her 20 zodiacs, 10 kayaks, possibilities are almost limitless with ship-wide simultaneous explorations.
