Silversea announced on Monday it plans to radically enhance its onboard enrichment programs this year, offering over 160 voyages that feature nearly 200 hand-picked lecturers, chefs and destination experts.
Naturally, with a program this expansive, a new name is in order: Silver Perspectives.
Silver Perspectives is designed primarily to enrich and enhance the experience of guests sailing with Silversea by offering them a tantalizing glimpse into the professional careers and lives of individuals who are as unique as the sailings they are aboard. A small sampling includes:
What is most impressive about this program is the sheer variety of speakers from all walks of life - from famous authors to journalists, historians, chefs, foreign policy experts, filmmakers, and yes, Maritime Historians. The legendary Bill Miller - one of the foremost maritime historians and authors - is slated to sail aboard Silver Whisper May 17, 2011 voyage from New York to Southampton.
In fact, Silversea offers so many voyages with such a wide range of guest lecturers and speakers that it's impossible to list them all here - literally. We tried.
Instead, why not have a look at the full (and astounding) list of voyages on Silversea's website that feature destination speakers, or better yet, view the list of guest speakers themselves to find out when your favorite personality might be sailing.
Curious about a Silversea voyage? Why not read our "live" report aboard the beautiful Silver Spirit for the full rundown of this excellent line as we sailed in December from Barbados to Fort Lauderdale.
