Aberdeen, Scotland, UK

Aberdeen is Scotland's third most populous city and the United Kingdom's 37th most populous area. The city has several nicknames, such as Granite City, Grey City and Silver City with the Golden Sands. In the 1970s the discovery of North Sea Oil generated another nickname which is the Oil Capital of Europe or the Energy Capital of Europe. Aberdeen has a sandy coastline and a marine climate. Also, there are two universities in the city; the University of Aberdeen and the Robert Gordon University. The oil industry as well as Aberdeen's seaport, which is the largest in the north-east of Scotland, have transformed the city's traditional industries. Also, one of the busiest commercial heliports in the world is located in Aberdeen. The Aberdeen International Youth Festival is one of the most attracting events since 1979, as the most talented young performing arts companies participate. 

Lago Canaraci Amazon

Giant Water Lilies (Victoria amazonica) are legendary, as they can support the weight of a child and you may see them at Lago Canaraci!The famous Giant Water Lilies have enormous round leaves (lily pads) with upturned rims making them look like huge pastry tarts.

 

Furo Comprido, Brazil

Furo Comrido means Long Hole and it is a cut-off arm of the river. Curves that are sometimes cut off, leave side channels like this. From here we can explore the local people and the forest. The course of Amazon changes as it twists across the lowlands.

Vegetation at the entrance to the side arm is a good example of plants struggling for a good place in the sun. Water is not limited in the rainforest, but light is. Getting enough light in order to photosynthesize is what makes the difference for each plant.

The people that leave here around the river call themselves Cabocles. They are a blend of European, Indian, and Black African ancestry.

Curua Una River, Amazon

Curua Una River is a tributary of the Amazon river in Brazil. A riverboat journey on the Curua-Una tributary brings you to the Vitoria-Regia lake, habitat of unique giant water-lilics, and offers a chance to fish for piranha. Visit picturesque Pacoval village, founded by runaway slaves, where you can gain a fascinating insight into the lives of the villagers, whose activities include the raising of buffalo.Explore this tributary of the Amazon to discover how the local people (called Caboclos) live. See flooded forests, pastures with water buffalos and a wide variety of homes from simple thatched huts to brick houses with gardens.

 

Barra Grande, Brazil

A little piece of paradise located on the south coast of Bahia, in north-east Brazil, with kilometres of gorgeous beaches, the Camamu bay, with many islands, the small village of Barra Grande, with a nice atmosphere, bars, restaurants, and friendly, people.

Bijagos Archipelago

The Bissagos Islands, also Bijagos as in its Portuguese name (Arquipelago dos Bijagos) are a group of about 88 islands and islets located in the Atlantic Ocean and are part of the African nation of Guinea-Bissau. The islands contain a high degree of biodiversity, with mangrove forests, saltwater swamps and palm trees interspersed with zones of dry forest, coastal savanna and sand banks. Island rivers release nutrient-rich freshwater into the ocean, creating a breeding ground and habitat for many species, including crocodile, fish, crustaceans and mollusks, and the symbolically important sea turtles and hippopotamus. Each year, around 1 million local and migratory birds from as far away as Siberia and Northern Europe settle in the archipelago to breed.

Banjul, Gambia

Banjul is the capital of Gambia. It is a seaport town that is located on St Mary’s Island, where the Gambia River enters the Atlantic Ocean. The island is connected to the mainland by passenger and vehicle ferries to the north and bridges to the south.

Breves Narrows Cruise, Brazil

Watch carefully for the wildlife on the shores and you will be amazed at what you see, especially as the inland forests of the Amazon are home to many wild creatures and plants that are yet to be named and classified.

 

A few hours up the Amazon River from Belem, Brazil, one enters the Breves Narrows, the region of the Thousand Islands. The passage through this maze of islets is an amazing adventure into the heart of the jungle, as it provides the unique opportunity of obtaining a close-up view of the rich equatorial vegetation and glimpses of the people who inhabit the area. The ship winds through 144km of lanes of yellow flood, bordered on both sides with equatorial forest. In the Furo Grande, the ship rounds a hairpin bend where the bow and stern almost touch the trees.

 

Dakar. Senegal

Silversea Cruises

Let us take you on a personal journey of discovery. Amid the tranquillity of the sea and the exuberance of distant lands, we will arouse your curiosity and seduce your senses. We will stimulate your imagination and spark new insights. Our aim is to create experiences that will enrich your life for years to come. From the moment you step onboard to the time you say "Arrivederci", our Italian sense of style will shine. The ebullience of our hospitality, the genuine warmth of our service and our evident appreciation of the finer things in life are genial qualities of our founders and owners. They are the principles on which Silversea were founded.

Small is beautiful and bountiful. With fewer guests and a high staff to guest ratio, we can tailor our unobtrusive service to individual needs. And you can join a select on board community of travellers with similar aspirations. The intimate ambience on our shιps has parallels with the atmosphere of a refined club. We are happy to sail against the tide. While most cruise lines build larger and ever-larger ships, we prefer to stay small. In this way we can preserve the special Silversea experience our guests have come to expect ... the intimate ambience, personal service and access to more intriguing secluded ports.

SMALLER GETS YOU CLOSER

Our small ships are agile enough to visit more remote, lesser-known ports and to bring you closer to some of the world's greatest destinations. They can sail up narrow waterways into the heart of a city, they can navigate around tiny islands and they can tie up right at the dock while others must anchor offshore. In the world of upscale cruising, less is more... considerably more, as our seven small ships offer infinite opportunities across all seven continents.

SILVERSEA CLASSIC FLEET

Silver Cloud - 296 Guests Resembling a private yacht, Silver Cloud sets the standard of excellence as the inaugural ship. Recently refurbished in 2012, she provides the most intimate sailing experiences, the luxury of space and the ability to slip into exotic ports off the beaten path.

Silvel Wind - 296 Guests Embraces Silversea's most lauded features ... fewer guests, more space and highly personalised service. One of the most intimate ships, afloat, she is still large enough to offer multiple entertainment venues, plenty of room on deck and a spacious spa.

Silver Shadow - 382 Guests takes award-winning, all-suite luxury to the next level while maintaining Silversea's genuine hospitality and intimate, elegant ambience. This ship features one of the highest space-to-guest ratios in cruising.

Silver Whisper - 382 Guests Maintaining an intimate ambience offers many amenities usually found only on larger ships. She reinforces Silversea's reputation for combining small-ship service with a choice of wide-ranging facilities.

Silver Spirit - 540 Guests combines our distinctive luxuries and celebrated lifestyle with new enhancements, including six dining venues, an expansive 8,300 square foot spa, a resort-style pool, four whirlpools, and the largest suites in the Silversea fleet - 95% with private verandas.
