An Andara Travel client made Antarctica their first ever cruise destination thanks to the enticement of Silversea. “They’d never done cruising before, let alone an expedition cruise,” the agency’s co-director Dave Allen explains. “They wanted to know the best way to travel to Antarctica and because we knew them from other bookings we said: ‘you’re not going to be happy unless you’re on a luxury ship’. That’s why we booked them on Silversea, and they had an amazing time.”
The cruise line had another Antarctic advantage, Dave adds: “If you are above 500 passengers, like the majority of cruise lines are, you can’t land, but all Silversea [expedition] ships can.”
