CRUISE NEWS 11 april Silversea christens Silver Discoverer Or perhaps
you’d rather a nice rockfish chowder?
SILVERSEA has launched its third expedition ship, Silver Discoverer, at a christening ceremony held at the Marina Bay Cruise Centre in Singapore. Newly-refurbished,
the 5,218-tonne Silver
Discoverer acommodates up to 120 guests in 62 all ocean-view suites, each featuring an in-suite bar, refrigerator and a totally renovated bathroom with a walk-in rainforest shower. All suites also have a flat screen TV and some feature a small private balcony. Public areas onboard include a restaurant, main lounge and lecture room. The Discoverer Lounge has seating for breakfast and lunch and The Grill is ideal for outdoor dining. There is also an outside bar, and a small swimming pool. An all-new sun deck area has also been added, along with a fitness, beauty and massage room. Guests on the Silver Discoverer will be able to
explore regions of the world only suitable to smaller ships. Zodiacs are used to take guests on excursions
and these are accompanied by experts in their field, including marine biologists,
ornithologists,
geologists, botanists, historians, and anthropologists. Silver Discoverer’s maiden voyage is from Broome
to Darwin in April, exploring Australia’s spectacular Kimberley Coast. Silversea recently announced a new trade incentive
for agents booking guests on any 2014 departure. To qualify agents need to make a booking before April 30 2014. Qualifying entrants will be entered into a draw to win one of ten spaces on a luxury London day. The prize includes afternoon tea and accommodation at a 5* London hotel including a spa voucher and dinner at a Michelin starred restaurant. There is no limit to the number of bookings that an agent can enter, the more bookings made the higher is the chance of winning. Silver Discoverer voyages count for two entries into the prize draw.
