Grand Tropical Expedition

Call it kismet, call it destiny but few people who fantasise about world travel are lucky enough to experience a voyage as rich, or as remote, as this. Crossing the tropics of Capricorn to Cancer, you’ll go from snorkelling in gin-clear waters and experiencing the land divers of Pentecost Island and the Fire Dancers of Baining to sailing through Alleppey’s backwaters in a houseboat. In between you’ll be treated to a Technicolor palette of red and green, wrapped up in millennia of history. The rugged rocks of Australia’s Kimberley may mean thundering waterfalls and vast, unforgiving desert yet just one sea day away lie the genteel landscapes of Asia. Discover our planet’s glorious dichotomy first hand as yellow sands give way to soaring cliffs, lush forests and forgotten temples. Bookended by tales of mythology and spirituality told by superb onboard lecturers, exploring the secrets of the world has never been so easy.

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.
