Rare – Epic – New – The South Pacific Reinvented

One of the biggest, longest and best-value voyage packages ever created by Australian small ship specialist, Cruise Traveller, offers an epic, luxe and rare 82-night fly, cruise and stay journey right across the Pacific Ocean from Darwin to Chile, with a two-week overland exploration of South America – and all book-ended with complimentary Business Class flights.

For bookings made before October 12, 2022, Cruise Traveller’s grand and exclusive package with Silversea Expeditions in September, 2023, offers savings of A$26,755 per person, the free Business Class flights at the start and end of the holiday, complimentary Economy flights in South America, six free nights of accommodation and 10 complimentary day tours embracing some of the most iconic sights in South America including Machu Picchu and Iguassu Falls

Celebrating the spirit of discovery and curated for intrepid and curious travellers, the ultra-luxurious and all-inclusive voyage aboard the five-star, 144-guest expedition ship, Silver Explorer, spans 68 nights and will take in secluded, exotic and far flung destinations right across the South Pacific, including idyllic, tropical  islands in Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, The Solomons, Fiji, Vanuatu, Tonga and the Cook Islands plus two of the most remote destinations in the world – Pitcairn Island and famed Easter Island – and Chile’s isolated Robinson Crusoe Island which was home to a marooned sailor for four years in the early 1700s, inspiring Daniel Defoe’s celebrated novel.

Cruise Traveller’s 82-night ‘Deeper Discoveries of the Pacific and South America’ begins on September 11, 2023, with a complimentary Business Class flight from Sydney, Brisbane or Melbourne to Darwin for a night’s stay before guests board the refined and elegant Silver Explorer for their 68-night journey to South America.

The ship boasts a fine dining restaurant and alfresco grill restaurant, two lounges, panoramic library, fitness centre and spa, two deck whirlpools, 12 Zodiac boats for off-ship exploration and an expert expedition team. Renowned for her intuitive, personalised service, Silver Explorer offers every guest the bucket-list luxury of a private butler. And every stateroom aboard the luxe ship is a suite boasting ocean views. Excursions, beverages and WIFI are complimentary during the cruise.

The ship’s comprehensive, culture-rich itinerary takes in 55 destinations between Darwin and Valparaiso in Chile including places few people have heard of such as the Auri Islands of Indonesia, PNG’s Fergusson Islands, the white sands and coconut palms of Euaiki Island in Tonga and deserted Henderson Island near Pitcairn Island, where the Bounty mutineers hid in the 18th Century. Also on the itinerary are the famous stone statues of Easter Island and the picture-postcard spectacle of Bora Bora in Tahiti and the turquoise lagoons of Aitutaki in the Cook Islands.  

After disembarking in Chile, guests will begin a two-week fly-tour exploration of South America embracing the Incan ruins of Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu in Peru, a luxury rail journey through the Peruvian Highlands aboard the famous Hiram Bingham train, awe-inspiring Iguassu Falls and the cultural flavours of Buenos Aires where guests can dance the tango, feast on Argentina’s feted meats and meet gauchos, or cowboys, on Argentine ranches.    

The incredible journey ends with a complimentary Business Class back to Australia from South America.

Including complimentary Business and Economy flights, the 68-night voyage with included beverages and excursions, 15 nights’ hotel accommodation – six of them free – and extensive touring in South America with 10 free tours, Cruise Traveller’s exclusive 82-night ‘Deeper Discoveries of the Pacific and South America’ package in September 2023 is available from A$93,595 per person, twin-share – a saving of A$26,755.
