Simulating Antarctica

With many cruise line employees, if they say they are going to get some more training, it could mean they are learning to fold a new towel animal or learn how to make some exotic new drinks, but if you work for Silversea and the Antarctic summer is coming, it could mean something very different. It could mean you will find yourself camping for a few days in the Chilean Andes.

Twelve members of Silversea's Expedition Team did just that to build their existing skillset and further develop their leadership skills in preparation for the line's tenth season of deep travel in Antarctica.

Finally, another Reason to Go to Antarctica

Even if you have no interest in the scenic beauty or the science of going to a polar region, Silversea is now providing possibly another type of self-improvement reason for going to Antarctica: learning about digital photography and  photo editing. This isn't just some “classroom” set up in a corner of a lounge. Silversea seems to have the professional equipment and instructors in Silver Cloud's new Photo Studio to allow the interested individual to truly learn.

Of course what better place to practice than on the hundreds of photos you can take where the ship is sailing - in some of the most unique scenery in the world?

A Nice Extra

To most of us, a pre-cruise package means a night or two in New York or Ft. Lauderdale, or maybe even a couple of nights someplace more exotic like Venice.

But if your cruise is taking you someplace like along the coast of Antarctica, an even more unusual pre-cruise destination would be in order - like the South Pole. And that's exactly what Seabourn is offering.
