About Broome, Western Australia

Once a pearling hub, Broome retains its multicultural heritage, reflected in its cuisine and architecture.

With warm weather year-round and a laid-back atmosphere, Broome is a perfect destination for adventure, relaxation, and cultural experiences.
About Buccaneer Archipelago, Western Australia
Roughly 800 islands of the Buccaneer Archipelago surround and shelter the impressive spread of Yampi Sound (from the aboriginal word for water, “Yampee”). The area was named in 1821 by Captain Phillip Parker King, in commemoration of William Dampier’s visit in 1688. Pearlers began visiting the area in the late 1800s, and more recently mining operators established open-cut mines on Koolan Island on the east side of the Sound. Some of the richest iron ore in the world is extracted here to this day. The coastline of Yampi shows rock layers wildly twisted and contorted into great folds. White-bellied Sea Eagles, Brahminy Kites, Ospreys, Common Sandpipers and Eastern Reef Egrets inhabit the archipelago and the area is rich in fish life, which in turn is an attraction for bottlenose dolphins that come here to feed. Yampi Sound is also occassionaly a calving ground for humpback whales and mothers and calves can sometimes be spotted in the relatively shallow turquoise waters.

About Ashmore and Cartier Islands
Ashmore Reef is a sanctuary for seabirds, shorebirds, marine turtles, dugongs, and many other marine species. Each year around 100,000 seabirds breed on Ashmore Reef including great knots, crested terns and white-tailed tropicbirds. The sanctuary zone provides the highest level of protection for wildlife.
About Vansittart Bay, Western Australia
Vansittart Bay is a beautifully protected large bay with several islands and coves. Jar Island contains ancient rock art galleries depicting the Gwion Gwion style unique to the Kimberley region. Mainly neglected by, or unknown to, the early European researchers of Aboriginal culture in the Kimberley in favour of the dominant & more dramatic Wandjina art, Gwion Gwion art has in recent years gained world prominence. Join your Expedition Team ashore for a short walk, past some fascinating rock formations, to the site of the Gwion Gwion art galleries.
About Wyndham, Western Australia
Wyndham is a small settlement with the spirit of a Kimberley outback township. It was established in 1886 with the Halls Creek gold rush and sits on the Cambridge Gulf where several rivers converge. Today Wyndham has a population of roughly 900 people and operates largely as a port exporting cattle, servicing the mining industry and hosting a few small ships. For these vessels Wyndham is a gateway to the breathtaking Bungle Bungle mountain range and the nearby Ord River. The Bungle Bungle Mountains in Purnululu National Park are now a World Heritage Site. In excess of 350 million years have shaped geological formations of giant orange and black striped domes rising out of the ground into a landscape unlike any other. Known to the local Aboriginal people for thousands of years, the Bungles were only discovered by the outside world in the mid-1980s. Conversely, cruising the peaceful and tree-lined Ord River is a chance to look for freshwater crocodiles, fruit bats, short-eared rock wallabies and a variety of birds, including Mangrove Herons and Mangrove Gerygones.Please note: All destinations on voyages in the Kimberley region, and the order in which they are visited, are subject to tidal variations and weather conditions. Other destinations may be visited in lieu of the stop described above.
About Darwin, Northern Territory
Darwin is Australia's most colorful, and exotic, capital city. Surrounded on three sides by the turquoise waters of the Timor Sea, the streets are lined with tropical flowers and trees. Warm and dry in winter, hot and steamy in summer, it's a relaxed and casual place, as well as a beguiling blend of tropical frontier outpost and Outback hardiness. Thanks to its close proximity to Southeast Asia and its multicultural population it also seems more like Asia than the rest of Australia. Darwin is a city that has always had to fight for its survival. The seductiveness of contemporary Darwin lifestyles belies a history of failed attempts that date from 1824 when Europeans attempted to establish an enclave in this harsh, unyielding climate. The original 1869 settlement, called Palmerston, was built on a parcel of mangrove wetlands and scrub forest that had changed little in 15 million years. It was not until 1911, after it had already weathered the disastrous cyclones of 1878, 1882, and 1897, that the town was named after the scientist who had visited Australia's shores aboard the Beagle in 1839. During World War II it was bombed more than 60 times, as the harbor full of warships was a prime target for the Japanese war planes. Then, on the night of Christmas Eve 1974, the city was almost completely destroyed by Cyclone Tracy, Australia’s greatest natural disaster. It's a tribute to those who stayed and to those who have come to live here after Tracy that the rebuilt city now thrives as an administrative and commercial center for northern Australia. Old Darwin has been replaced by something of an edifice complex—such buildings as Parliament House and the Supreme Court all seem very grand for such a small city, especially one that prides itself on its casual, outdoor-centric lifestyle. Today Darwin is the best place from which to explore Australia's Top End, with its wonders of Kakadu and the Kimberley region.

With the importance of food in Italian culture, you would expect dining to be a high priority at Silversea. And it most assuredly is. No matter where you dine, their influence is readily apparent in the great diversity and presentation of culinary selections on board your all inclusive cruise.
The main dining room aboard every Silversea luxury cruise ship, The Restaurant, is always open seating so you can arrive at your leisure and dine with the friends you invite to join your table. And with the worldly crowd of international guests who sail on Silversea ships, socialising is yet another great advantage of the Silversea experience.
The Grill
Silversea’s much-loved casual dining restaurant serves a delectable range of burgers and salads by day and turns into our famous Hot Rocks table BBQ concept by night. The Grill is quite simply the best place to eat between sea and sky. If you like flavorsome meals cooked to perfection, a casual, laid-back atmosphere, and OMG views, then The Grill is the answer to your prayers.
Dress code: Casual
Casual wear consists of pants, blouses, or casual dresses for women; open-neck shirts and slacks for men are appropriate.
Images are intended as a general reference. Features, materials, finishes and layout may be different than shown.
La Dame
After a day of trekking through tundra and whale-watching, indulge in an evening of palette pampering, where fine wines are complemented by a set bespoke menu of regionally inspired dishes in an intimate, elegant setting. An extraordinary six-course experience celebrating the world’s most distinguished wine regions complete what is surely the finest dining at sea.
Per guest reservation fee of US$60. Please visit My Silversea to make your reservations.
Le Terrazza
La Terrazza is a celebration of the way Italians eat today, an ode to the delicious evolution of the world’s most beloved cuisine. Evolving one of Silversea’s signature restaurants, La Terrazza serves fresh twists on great classics, and also explores the new heroes of Italian cuisine. The notion of comfort traditionally associated with Italian cuisine is present in every dish, every bite, yet always with a subtle element of surprise. La Terrazza is open for casual, buffet-style breakfast and lunch with indoor or alfresco dining on the outdoor terrace. During the evening, the venue transforms into an à la carte Italian restaurant. Seating is limited for dinner and reservations are recommended.
The Restaurant
Sparkling with tales of adventure, bonhomie, and like-minded friends, The Restaurant offers contemporary, international cuisine created by our most talented chefs. Menus feature regional specialties unique to the destinations guests visit on their cruise, so don’t be surprised to see a roasted Chilean Sea Bass while cruising the Chilean fjords.
The ocean views and soothing sound of the surf can be quite intoxicating at sea, so it’s not surprising that daydreaming on deck is one of the most popular pastimes. However, every Silversea all inclusive cruise also includes a considerable number of more active pursuits — some for the body, some for the mind … and some just for fun.
Dolce Vita
With complimentary cocktails and engaging conversation, live music, and a dance floor, Dolce Vita on board Silver Cloud welcomes guests to mix and mingle. When living such unique experiences as these, there is never a dull moment!
Connoisseur's Corner
The Connoisseur’s Corner offers exceptional cognacs along with a premium selection of cigars for purchase.
Reception
This central lobby area welcomes guests to speak with our receptionist if they have a question or require any service. Assistance is available 24 hours a day. The Cruise Consultant may also be indispensable when planning your next Silversea voyage, or if you wish to extend your current voyage for a day, a week, a month … Like having your own personal onboard Silversea professional, the Cruise Consultant will help you to select the perfect voyage, reserve your preferred suite, and provide immediate confirmation.

Explorer Lounge
Perfect for presentations, lectures, and video screenings, this is where our team of dedicated experts share their knowledge on their specialized subject, not to mention their infectious passion and energy. The multitiered Explorer Lounge and banquette-style seating ensure that you enjoy every minute of the talk, with lectures streamed live to your suite if desired. This is one of the very few lecture theaters at sea to combine such comfort with such technology.
Panorama Lounge
The Panorama Lounge is specially designed to provide an uninterrupted view of the day’s destination from the comfort of the luxury cruise ship’s interior. This is an ideal place to unwind on your cruise, enjoy afternoon tea, listen to the pianist, and watch the setting sun. The drinks are complimentary, and the music is live and inviting. Enjoy dancing to a range of musical styles for every taste, from the classics to the latest club mixes.
