Silversea Offers $499 Air Offer for Silver Discoverer Expedition Cruises

The special air offer is available on six Silver Discoverer voyages sailing in October, November and December to Asia and the Indian Ocean.

Aboard the small-sized, all-suite Silver Discoverer, guests will be able to explore some of the world's most remote and remarkable regions, while enjoying an enriching onboard program of destination lectures, photo presentations, and daily recaps. Zodiac excursions and interactive walks ashore will be led by experts in their field -- marine biologists, ornithologists, geologists, botanists, historians, and anthropologists. Guests will also enjoy such Silversea hallmarks as the pampering attention of a butler, sumptuous gourmet cuisine, complimentary wines and spirits served throughout the ship, and free Wi-Fi.

"These new $499 air add-ons offer extraordinary value for travelers looking to book passage to dream destinations located in some of the most remote corners of Asia Pacific," said Mark Conroy, Silversea's managing director for the Americas.
