Silver secrets of the North Sea

If you’re bored and looking for a new adventure for 2012 then how about trying a Silverseas fantastic little ship – the Silver Explorer (formally know as the Prince Albert). As I have blogged before I have been on this ship and with you being one of just 132 guests onboard it’s a once in a lifetime experience that makes you feel like a V.I.P. The expedition cruises with Silverseas are all about the wildlife and cultural encounters and getting out to some beautiful areas of the world that just aren’t possible on larger ships. You get the chance to do some amazing shore excursions which are not only complimentary but also guided by a team of experts. The groups are usually small and intimate and guaranteed to be a unique personal experience every time. All of the expedition team is selected for a particular expertise, and also because of their education, experience and enthusiasm make them ideal for your adventure. To name but a few these tours can lead you to experience Europe’s most impressive castles, gardens, birdlife and ancient stone monuments. I think this is so important to holiday guests of today. Instead of investing in stocks and shares people are investing in life experiences and a silverseas expedition cruise delivers giving you the chance to explore and be educated while enjoying luxury onboard.
All the accommodation onboard have oceanviews and butler service along with complimentary champagnes, fine wines and spirits .The silver explorer also boasts the largest average accommodation size of any expedition ship and also offers 20 premium suites for the discerning traveller to get that extra luxurious living space so at the end of a busy day sightseeing and touring you know you can come back to a bit of luxury and comfort.

One of the itineraries for next year that has caught my eye is the secrets of the North Sea on the 19th August 2012 for 14 days. Its a beautiful cruise from Tromso to Dublin that has many highlights and prices start from as little as £4999 for the adventurer suites.
