Circumnavigate Britain and Iceland on Silver Cloud

Silversea’s Silver Cloud will circumnavigate Britain and Iceland in an 18 day cruise departing from London’s Tower Bridge on 26 July 2012.

This will be one of Silversea’s renowned Culinary Voyages, with the line’s Executive Chef David Bilsland introducing guests to the Relais & Chateaux L’Ecole de Chefs with cooking demonstrations, Silversea's take on “Slow Food” and escorted shore excursions to such foodie locations as the weekly Edinburgh farmers market.

Ports of call will include Edinburgh, plus the architectural and heritage wonders of the Orkney, Shetland and Faroe Islands.

Silver Cloud is also small enough to venture into the picture postcard ports of Akureyri, Isafjordur, Reykjavik and Heimaey along the rugged coastal beauty of Iceland.

The return voyage includes visits to Stornoway in Scotland where chef Bilsland will explain the secrets of fish smoking at a small local factory and excite the taste buds at a local chocolate factory. In Belfast, an optional shore excursion will take guests along the historic trail of the Titanic. Other ports include Dublin, Cork and Fowey in Cornwall, returning to London for disembarkation at Tower Bridge on 13 August.

With just 296 guests, Silver Cloud offers an intimate convivial cruise. All accommodation is in ocean view suites, (over 80% with private veranda), with marble bathroom, walk in wardrobe, a drinks cabinet stocked with your personal choice of beverages, TV and DVD, 24-hour complimentary room service and all gratuities.

On all Silversea ships you dine when, where and with whom you wish, in a choice of restaurants and all wines, drinks, Champagne and cocktails are included in the fare.

Silversea prides itself on the quality of its enrichment lecturers and this combined voyage will have Jon Sigurdsson, renowned geologist, photographer and Icelandic expert as well as BBC broadcaster, biographer, author and raconteur Michael Freedland lecturing aboard Silver Cloud.

By combining two nine day cruises, Silversea is offering extra savings with all-inclusive fares from US$6,071 per person, based on double occupancy in an ocean view Vista Suite.
