Silversea Cruises will partner with the Royal Geographical Society – Institute of British Geographers – to provide detailed scientific and historical information to guests embarking on the line’s expedition voyages, including Silver Explorer and Silver Galapagos.

“This is a partnership which will bring incredible historic and current geographical information to our guests, as well as unite two experts in their respective fields,” said Enzo Visone, CEO of Silversea Cruises.

The partnership will enable Silversea’s guests to access the Society’s specialist visual and written content, as well as some of its historic collections, which contain more than one million maps, 500,000 photographs, 250,000 books, journals and manuscripts, and iconic artefacts, dating back to 1482. Passengers will be able to increase their knowledge of destinations including Antarctica, the Arctic, the Galápagos, South America, Africa and Europe.

The Society was founded in 1830 and is under the patronage of Queen Elizabeth II, andhas supported explorers and scientists such as Charles Darwin, Dr David Livingstone, Robert Falcon Scott, Sir Ernest Shackleton and Sir Edmund Hillary.

Dr Rita Gardner, director of the Royal Geographical Society, with IBG, added: “We are delighted to enter into partnership with Silversea, extending the Society's work to embrace and enthuse Silversea guests with our understanding of the wonderful and changing world in which we all live and that they will experience, enjoy and discover through their travel experiences.”
