In ‘Behind the Lens’—a new series of insightful articles, curated by passionate travelers and dedicated to you, the curious—Silversea’s talented photographers transport us through space and time, presenting unique moments from their journeys around the world.

As we temporarily become armchair travelers, we invite you to revisit the classic accounts of the pioneering adventurers of yesteryear – one book at a time. Sharing anecdotes and personal insights, Silversea’s Senior Vice President of Expeditions Conrad Combrink provides a unique and engaging perspective on the daring endeavors that shaped his outlook on expedition travel.

Guided by our expert lecturers on topics as diverse and fascinating as Marine Biology, Ornithology, Ecology, Botany, History, Anthropology, Geology, Climate, the very same that are featured on board our vessels, we travel to the far corners of the world, discovering and examining every possible aspect that makes every destination unique.

Comprised of over two million documents, maps, photographs, paintings, periodicals, artifacts and books, the Royal Geographical Society (with the Institute of British Geographers) shares shares some of the world’s most important geographical research and archive material with Silversea guests. In a series of articles, “On the Map” brings you this exclusive content collated from centuries of scientific exploration

Cuisine, cocktails and cultures change as you sail around the world. As we wait for the right time to embark on new discoveries, we’d like to share with you 60 of the regionally-inspired cocktails handcrafted by our mixologists for our new S.A.L.T. (Sea and Land Taste) Bar.

There’s no better—or more enjoyable—way to engage and understand the world than through the flavors and stories of its food culture. In S.A.L.T. Kitchen, we invite you to join us on a holistic journey of culinary discovery to explore the ingredients, traditions, cultural nuances and personalities that feed into the rich cornucopia of food-focused travel. The table is set for a fascinating feast to whet your appetite for epicurean exploration.

While we wait to sail again, Silversea’s international ensemble of accomplished entertainers can barely restrain their innate passion for the performing arts. As such, they have temporarily transplanted the bright spotlight of the The Show Lounge to their homes and personal spaces in order to continue delivering high-caliber performances. Allow us to raise the curtain and set the virtual stage so these talented performers may continue hitting the highest of notes.
