Silversea

The shipping company Seabourn has been a leader in luxury cruises for many years. With the new generation of ships, suitable for 458 – 600 passengers, the shipping company offers the most pampered passenger a choice of unmatched holiday experiences.

Seabourn is characterized not only by the excellent quality of service and meals, but also by the relaxed atmosphere on board and the pleasant all-inclusive formula. This means that all the drinks, including alcoholic beverages, selected wines, champagne and minibar are included on board, as well as tips for the staff. It is therefore not surprising that Seabourn has been receiving the highest ratings from their guests for many years and has received many awards.
Seabourn uses the Seabourn Square concept. This means that there is no longer a lobby and reception area, but a pleasant multifunctional space with comfortable seats, a cosy coffee-bar, outdoor terrace, library, shops, service desk and an information point.

All Seabourn ships have a unique and modern marina, which on certain routes in sunny regions can be used behind the ship for various water sports .

Seabourn has 3 identical ships, the Seabourn Odyssey*****Seabourn Sojourn***** and Seabourn Quest*****. All three ships can accommodate more than 450 passengers. The advantage of such small ships is of course, that they can reach places where the large ships cannot moor. In this way you will reach the most beautiful destinations!

The newest ship that has been added to the fleet is the Seabourn Encore*****+ and the Seabourn Ovation*****+ with space for 600 passengers on board, she is slightly larger than the other ships and offers you, among other things, slightly more choice in culinary matters. Both ships offer a wealth of new concepts, with ultra-luxurious design elements, light colours and a few suites with balcony to satisfy the world’s most demanding travellers.

On board of all ships you can choose what time you want to go for dinner, with whom and in which restaurant, there are no fixed dinner sessions. The atmosphere on board is elegantly casual and the language is English.

Seabourn, an excellent choice for your well-deserved holiday!

If you like luxury and relaxation and also like to stay on a slightly larger ship with many facilities, Crystal Cruises is a good choice. The difference is Crystal clear….

Outside your own accommodation you will enjoy beautifully furnished spaces. There are plenty of culinary options regarding times and specialties.

Travel with Oceanwide Expeditions to the magical destinations of the Arctic or Antarctic. Animal and nature lovers can indulge in a trip to one of these special destinations.

NORTH POLE
Cruise to Spitsbergen and experience how people live in the far north. Your Spitsbergen expedition cruise takes you to a beautiful polar landscape, full of glaciers and rugged snowy mountains.
During your trip to Spitsbergen you will have the opportunity to explore the special history of the polar region; whalers, polar explorers and hunters who have often left dramatic traces there for centuries.

But most of all the special fauna of the far north makes Spitsbergen very interesting, the Polar Bears, Walruses, whales and many other beautiful animals, both on land and in the sea.

SOUTH POLE
The Antarctic Peninsula is one of the most beautiful regions of the entire Antarctic Continent. An expedition cruise to the peninsula will give you an overall impression of what life on Antarctica is like. The landscape in this region is spectacular, with steep ridges, icy glaciers and cathedral-shaped icebergs and is therefore very photogenic. The gentoo penguin is not only one of the most common penguins on the peninsula, it is also the biggest of the penguin species breeding here.

The rich animal life and the thousands of breeding penguins, is a highlight of many expeditions. Other animals that are regularly seen are the Weddell Sea Dog, the Blue Eye Cormorant, the Snow petrel, Orcas and Humpback whales. South Georgia is a unique sub-Antarctic island, an Antarctic oasis in the middle of the South Atlantic Ocean. There are few comparable places in the world that are so full of life.

On your South Georgia cruise, sporting activities are offered that give you the opportunity to get to know the fauna – beach walks, long hikes through the hills, safaris with a zodiac along the rocky coasts, diving for those who have experience, bird watching and much, much more… You can meet various species of seals, including giant elephant seals and naughty fur seals as well as the Majestic King Penguin.

The m/v Plancius was completely rebuilt in 2009 as an expedition passenger ship accommodating 116 passengers 47 crew members of which 7 expedition staff members in Antarctica and 8 expedition staff members for the Arctic. The Plancius is equipped with 10 zodiacs. The ship is extremely comfortable and cozy, but it is not a cruise ship. All trips in the Arctic and Antarctic region are and will remain primarily focused on an active and educational expedition travel programme, where as much time as possible is spent on land.

The m/v Hondius is Oceanwide’s newest and advanced expedition ship, which will enter service in 2019 and meets the latest and highest requirements for passenger ships (Polar Class 6). The ship can accommodate 176 passengers and 72 crew members. In line with the atmosphere of our expeditions, the dress code on board is informal.

The passengers on board the Plancius and Hondius are generally dressed practically. The cruise is based on full board but the tips are not included and you can give them at the end of your trip which will then be fairly distributed among the crew.
