My husband and I are seasoned travelers, having cruised to Antartica, Galapagos, Tahiti, Vietnam, Greece and Russia and many other destinations. In our thirty or more cruises, we have expereinced all inclusive trips on Silverseas' competitors. Mostly, we have been pleased with trips and generally pleased with our recent cruise on Silver Explorer with the exception of our accommodations. We started with the least expensive cabin on the 3rd deck. This cabin is in the bow of the ship. There was a noise equivalent to a jack hammer at 30 second intervals triggered by the rising and falling of the rolling bow. After not sleeping the first night, we asked for a change of cabin. This seemed like a reasonable request since the ship was only half full. After an entire day of talking with the management, we were required to pay for an upgrade to the bow of the 4th deck. This cabin was only a little less noisy. We found Silversea's mangagement to be disinterested in our situation. Service was very good on the ship. Due to the small number of passengers, we were treated very well by the ship's staff, if not by the company. The Naturalists are well trained and were professional in their presentations. The shore excursions were average, certainly not up to par with Paul Gauguin or AmaWaterways. Dining options were felxible and convenient. You could choose to dine alone or with others and anytime during a two hour period. The food was fresh and well presented. Overall, the ship has benefits in terms of the all inclusive package but beware of booking a cabin in the bow of this ship, especially on the 3rd deck.

A laid back city that’s located in the north of Queensland, Cairns is the perfect destination for anyone that loves the outdoors. Not only is the region home to the Great Barrier Reef, but a number of bustling markets, beaches and a vibrant food scene. Top highlights in Cairns include the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway, Kuranda Scenic Railway and the Cairns Aquarium.

Skyrail Rainforest Cableway
Take to the sky on the incredible Skyrail Rainforest Cableway. Spanning 7.5 kilometres, it takes you high above the picturesque Gorge National Park within Queensland’s iconic World Heritage Area; the Wet Tropics Rainforest, that’s also known as the oldest tropical rainforest in the world. Taking around 1.5 hours to reach Kuranda, along the way you can stop off in two areas to explore the forest.
Kuranda Railway
One of the most iconic railways in the world, the Kuranda Railway takes you from Cairns to Kuranda along a heritage listed line. Built in 1891, it offers breathtaking views over the Barron Falls, alongside several towns. Taking just under 2 hours, this 37 kilometre journey is simply magical.

Singapore, officially the Republic of Singapore, is an exotic yet easy-to-navigate cruise destination.

Merlion Park
Merlion Park, named after the water-spouting Merlion statue, is an essential Singaporean landmark. The Merlion is Singapore's national symbol, with a lion's head and fish's body. The park is popular with tourists and locals alike, who come to take photos of the outstanding scenery, the famous statue and relax by the water.

Singapore Botanic Gardens
The Agri-Horticultural Society, in 1859, transformed plantation property into a massive botanical garden for recreational use. It has become a major element of Singapore throughout the years, to the point where it has been designated as the country's first UNESCO World Heritage Site. The National Orchid Garden is a highlight, as is the ample room for jogging dining or simply relaxing.
