Silversea Discoverer

Cruising around the exotic shores of South East Asia, the Silversea Discoverer delivers passengers some of the most fascinating eco-systems on the planet; Borneo’s jungle is home to the gentle orangutans, found only in this part of the world, and Indonesia’s underwater world reveals a diver’s paradise of gliding manta rays and whale sharks, the gentle giants of the sea.

The Discoverer’s small size means it can go where cruise ships normally don’t venture. You’ll be cruising through an area of the world known for its amazing marine life, and even if you don’t dive or snorkel, the Discoverer has a glass-bottomed boat so you’ll still have the chance to spot the shoals of vibrant fish, mega fauna like whale sharks and manta rays, turtles, dolphins, and reefs of coral that inhabit these waters.

A team of experts will accompany you on the Discoverer, with specialisms ranging from wildlife to local culture. They’ll lead tours onshore and give talks on the boat, so you can really get the most out of your time in South East Asia. Trips might include snorkelling and diving, jungle treks, orangutan encounters, Komodo dragon spotting, and tribal village visits.

During your time onboard, you’ll be able to travel around this unspoiled area in real luxury. There are butlers for the ocean-view suites, in-suite bars, a comfortable lounge and bar, and a combination of Indonesian and international dishes served in the restaurant. When you’re not exploring the islands, sea and jungles of South East Asia, you can relax on the sundeck, check your emails in the internet cafe, blow off some steam in the gym, or indulge in a massage in the salon.
