Silversea Expeditions, is pleased to announce, that for the month of February, new bookings to the Kimberley aboard Silver Discoverer will include complimentary flights for Australian guests.
Silversea clients will have access to round-trip Economy Class flights or Business Class upgrades from select gateway cities in Australia, in addition to one of the most unforgettable cruises Silversea is known for.
Silversea Expeditions invites guests to experience a unique opportunity to view the ancient wonders and thundering waterfalls of the Kimberley aboard Silver Discoverer on 10-day voyages travelling between Darwin and Broome. The Kimberley has experienced the wettest December on record, with Broome recording 410mm of rain in December (a 47% increase on the previous record from 1970), which is seven times greater than the normal rainfall of 58mm.
For the duration of Silversea's expedition cruises in the Kimberley from March to May 2017, the famous Kimberley coast waterfalls, including King George River & Falls and Talbot Bay (Horizontal Falls) will thunder more spectacularly than ever before. The twin cascades of King George Falls are amongst Australia's highest, plunging over 80 metres. At Talbot Bay, the regions tides of close to 36-feet create an amazing spectacle. Depending on whether the tides are ebbing or flowing, guests can experience an exhilarating Zodiac ride to the "Horizontal Falls".
Guests can expect to witness these extraordinary waterfalls, along with the rich history and wildlife of this region, aboard the elegant, warm and friendly Silversea vessel.
