After 30+ years in the travel industry, while I still thoroughly enjoy planning all kinds of vacations, I have decided to concentrate on a couple of areas for things that I really enjoy experiencing personally. I am trying to focus on Golf Travel as well as Expedition Cruising. I know that these two things aren’t quite related but I love both of those things, being outdoors, exploring and competing and would love to help others experience these things too. I trust that my passion for them will show through to the travelers when I assist them with planning their vacations.
I recently had the opportunity to experience an Expedition Cruise first hand with Silversea Expeditions to the “white continent” of Antarctica! I was honored that I was asked to attend this incredible journey to help further my knowledge of expedition cruising. What a treat it was and I wanted to share that experience with all of you.

First, a little bit about Silversea Expeditions and our home for this adventure, the Silver Endeavour. Silversea’s small luxury ships are designed for those who delight in discovery and indulge in luxury. Silversea visits over 900 destinations on all seven continents. They offer around-the-clock butler service in all suites so you are well taken care of during your vacation. Silversea employs an all-inclusive cruise experience that covers almost all of your onboard discretionary expenses. Carefree and luxury, why are you waiting????
Silversea Expeditions allows you to travel to the ends of the earth to unchartered territories and explore the immaculate natural world as never before. Experience countries and cultures untouched by tourism while traveling along stunningly beautiful shores. Asia, Africa, Antarctica, Greenland, Galapagos Islands, Australia, South America and Northern Europe, just to name a few areas that you can explore.
The Silver Endeavor is one of the most luxurious expedition ships sailing today. You can travel to the ends of the world on an ultra-luxury expedition ship! She has a PC6 ice-class rating, which is among the highest in the industry, so she can cut through up to 4 inches of new ice. She has a reinforced hull to allow ice to deflect off the ship without damaging her. She has 8 public decks with a guest capacity of 220 and all rooms are suites with a balcony. She has a crew capacity of 207 so that is an impressive 1:1 crew-to-guest ratio. She boasts 4 amazing restaurants with fantastic cuisine options. Lounges, cigar bar, library, spa & salon, swimming pool and hot tubs will give you plenty of options to enjoy when you are resting from your exploring journeys.
