Silversea’s Grand Voyage Exclusive Events Are Experiences Money Can’t Buy

• Amazing experiences
• Grand Voyages
• Travel deeper

Travel is all about discovery, and Silversea’s Grand Voyages provide exceptional opportunities to uncover the wonders of the world first hand. Longer than a typical cruise, a Grand Voyage focuses on one part of the world long enough for guests to dig below the surface to find the essence of a destination — its people, culture, languages and way of life.

Designed with that in mind, each Grand Voyage features exclusive Special Events that bring together representative expressions of a destination to create once-in-a-lifetime experiences, several (but certainly not all) of which are detailed below.

“They are experiences money can’t buy,” says Jannie Cloete, Silversea’s director of experiences and events, who creates these extraordinary events. “We don’t take guests to look at things like a zoo attraction or from a bus window. We try to go to a well-known location but reinvent the experience for the guests.”

Jannie, along with Kevin McKeon, Silversea’s events and experiences manager, work together, scouring the world for intimate, special events in ports that offer unrivaled access. “There’s almost always a gastronomic and music component,” Kevin tells us. “But we also re-create the high level of service from onboard the ship.”

Currently, Jannie and Kevin have planned special events for Grand Voyages throughout 2024. What are their favorites so far? They won’t divulge but note that the following voyages will have extra-special access events during their sailings. Their picks are chosen from these Grand Voyages: Grand Mediterranean 2023 , Grand Africa and Arabia 2024 , Grand Pacific 2024 , Grand South America 2024 , Grand Pole to Pole 2024 , Grand South Pacific Expedition 2024 , and Grand Africa and Indian Ocean 2024.

Indeed, there are so many experiences that you may have trouble choosing your cruise. No problem. We have then covered in a special “how to article” designed for Grand Voyages .

Grand South Pacific Expedition 2024

Rhythms and rituals of aitutaki.

A quintessential South Pacific experience on Grand South Pacific awaits in tiny, secluded Aitutaki in the Cook Islands. Set against the Windex-blue waters of the world’s most beautiful lagoon, this daylong Silversea festival comes alive with people dancing, eating and celebrating life.

As Polynesian dancers flank you, move from stall to stall to enjoy fresh banana, coconut, breadfruit, and taro, and to slurp giant native clams called pasua . “It’s an opportunity to engage with the community and bolster local businesses,” Kevin says.

Grand Pacific 2024

In the presence of a geisha.

“Span 1,000 years of tradition in just 90 minutes,” Jannie says of this evening at the 203-year-old Kaikaro Geisha Teahouse , a traditional house of geisha entertainment in Kanazawa, Japan, one of the ports of call on Silversea’s Grand Pacific voyage.

Jannie tells this story of the inspiration for this event: “There’s a geisha who I met many years ago named Lady Baba. One of her dreams was to do a talk on a cruise ship.” He arranged for her to give a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the life of a geisha for Silversea guests.

“In her gorgeously preserved home with its gold-woven tatami and red-lacquered steps, she explains the refined world of the geisha with the help of one or two maikos , young geishas-in-training.,” he says. “A traditional Japanese tea ceremony rounds out this extraordinary experience.”

Grand Africa and Arabia 2024

The sights and sounds of the drakensberg boys choir.

Thrill to a true South African experience, on Silversea’s Grand Africa and Arabia voyage, is a private performance by the prestigious Drakensberg Boys Choir in their home setting near Winterton, a two-hour drive from Durban. Surrounded by the cathedral-like peaks of the verdant Drakensberg Mountains, you will bask in the group’s signature high-energy performance and thrilling harmonies as the singers interpret an array of musical genres, from classics to contemporary pop to traditional African tunes.

The ensemble, styled after the Vienna Boys Choir, is South Africa’s most racially and culturally diverse chorale, whose 70 members range in age from 9 to 15. This concert, combined with a typical South African braai , or barbecue, will be an evening to remember.

A peek into the future

In a totally opposite direction is the Africa and Arabia’s Grand Voyage’s stop in Dubai, where we head into the future. Enjoy a private curated evening in the blockbuster in Dubai’s Museum of the Future , billed as “a place to see, touch, and shape our shared future.” This special event is a full sensory experience — “seeing, tasting, and hearing,” Kevin says — that incorporates cocktails and canapes.

The museum, opened in 2022, is an architectural and engineering showpiece that applies advanced technology to traditional artforms. The futuristic building, shaped like a giant oblong ring, is a canvas for the poetry of Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai’s ruler, rendered in traditional calligraphy.

The museum was crafted by leading designers, artists and filmmakers, and combines elements of exhibition, immersive theater, and themed attraction. Let your imagination soar during this exclusive visit in the symbol of Dubai’s spirit of innovation.

Grand South America 2024

Culture, creativity and cocktails.

On Silversea’s Grand South America voyage, you can immerse yourself in the colorful street world of Callao, Peru’s main seaport and a hub of magnificent colonial architecture. Let local artists guide you through this graffiti-filled open-air gallery adorned with more than 600 murals by local and international artists.

As you sip pisco sours and sample local ceviche or Peruvian stir-fried rice with seafood, watch the artists at work, learn some graffiti basics, and “become participants in how they tell their story to the world,” Jannie says.

The sport of kings

On this itinerary, which also incorporates some of the Caribbean’s more intriguing ports, you can revel in a grand evening befitting the sport of kings in Bridgetown, Barbados . Dress up and spend an evening at the tony Barbados Polo Club , which dates to 1884.

Watch a private match as the majestic horses charge up and down the field under the skillful guidance of their riders. Feast on classic Caribbean dishes such as barbecued jerk chicken and Barbadian flying fish at a festive sit-down dinner on the field with polo ponies for companions. 

Grand Pole to Grand Pole 2024

An evening on gorée island.

The hallowed grounds of tiny Gorée Island, off  Dakar, Senegal, are the setting for a celebration of the resilience of the African people. The stop at Senegal is part of the before-and-after of this unique Pole to Pole voyage, which starts with Antarctica , finishes in the Arctic , and visits all manner of fascinating destinations in between.

The island’s fort-cum-museum, which was the largest slave-trading center on the African coast, is the venue for this outdoor event. Silversea creates a memorable evening with a candlelit sit-down dinner and entertainment by local singers, musicians and drummers. This living history monument, a UNESCO World Heritage Site , features the grim slave quarters contrasted by the traders’ elegant houses.

“It’s about paying tribute to the culture, not about throwing a party” in this painful symbol of the slave trade, Jannie  says. “We want to give the people the ability to tell their story.”

nd bolster local businesses,” Kevin says of this pinch-me Bali Hai moment.

Grand Africa and Indian Ocean 2024

Wildlife and wetlands.

Nature and culture take center stage in this full-immersion expedition in South Africa’s KwaZulu Natal Province. Spot the Big Five on safari in some of the biggest game reserves in the area — Hluhluwe, Imfolozi and Phinda. Silversea’s Grand Africa and Indian Ocean voyage offers true African immersion as we heed the call of the wild in the iSimangaliso Wetland Park , a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where the world’s oldest land mammal (the rhinoceros), biggest terrestrial mammal (the elephant), oldest fish (the coelacanth) and biggest marine mammal (the whale) share an ecosystem.

Cap off this outdoor adventure with a sunset game drive and Zulu-themed dinner and dance performance you won’t soon forget.

A touch of the ‘Best Exotic Marigold Hotel’

If you haven’t seen the heartwarming “ Best Exotic Marigold Hotel ,” the magical film chronicling life and love in India, this is your chance to be showered with rose petals in real life, not just from a movie screen. That’s just one part of this riverside festival on the banks of the Kerala River in Kochi (formerly Cochin), India.

Settle in for lunch on long tables lining the river as locals dish out zesty curries from big pots onto plates covered with banana leaves while you sip fresh lime or coconut juice and watch martial arts performances.

As drummers pound out their farewell rhythms, you’ll board snake boats (long dugout canoes that are icons of the Kerala culture) for a leisurely ride down the river accompanied by tea service, of course.

After disembarking, hop on colorful tuk-tuks for “a processional ride back to the bus in grand style,” Kevin says.

Soric secures silver at NCAC final, Owls in seventh

GRANVILLE, Ohio -- Kenyon College's women's outdoor track and field team took the short trip to Granville today for the first of two days at the 2024 North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) Outdoor Track and Field Championships. The Owls competed in five of the day's seven event finals, and Paula Soric got the team's scoring started with a second-place showing in the long jump. Soric's silver medal secured all eight of Kenyon's day-one points, and the Owls sit in seventh place in the standings with a second day of events on deck. Defending champion Wittenberg University holds pole position with 86.5 total points, well ahead of second-place DePauw University (66). Ohio Wesleyan University (50), Oberlin College (42), and The College of Wooster (33.5) round out the top five teams while hosting Denison University (22.5) and Hiram College (5.5) bookend the Owls in the eight-team standings. After winning the NCAC Championship in the long jump last season, Soric had to settle for second this year. The junior's longest leap measured 5.19 meters (17-0 ½), the best mark for an Owls competitor in the event this season. Last year's NCAC Field Athlete of the Year will be looking to defend her triple jump title tomorrow. A handful of Owls added top-15 finishes in Friday's other events, but no other Kenyon competitors could crack into scoring position. However, Anna Brown made sure that more points are on the way tomorrow by qualifying for the finals in the 800-meter race, placing fifth in today's preliminary running with a time of 2:19.30. Saturday's events are set to start at 10 a.m. when field events get underway. The first running event of the final day is scheduled to start at 2:15 p.m.

unwto tourism highlights 2022

Un tourism | bringing the world closer.

Unwto 2021: a year in review, 2021: tourism united, resilient and determined.

2021 has been a year of learning and adapting for tourism. It has proven that only by working together can the sector overcome challenges and embrace opportunities.

Gathering the global tourism community and developing concrete actions, UNWTO has led tourism’s response with the vision of not only restarting, but doing so in a more inclusive, innovative and sustainable way.

January - March

As global tourism faced up to a second year of unprecedented crisis , UNWTO began 2021 by counting the cost so far . At the same time, however, the emergence of vaccines brought hope . The Global Tourism Crisis Committee met to explore what this meant for safe travel and the restart of tourism, while the announcement of the winners of the UNWTO Global Start-up Competition recognized the role culture and creativity will play in tourism’s restart and recovery .  

April - June

Collaboration and innovation were the focusat the start of the second quarter. UNWTO partnered with IATA on a new Destination Tracker to give both tourists and destinations clear, impartial and trusted advice. And a new Start-up Competition was launched to find the best ideas for accelerating rural development through tourism. In May, the launch of the Best Tourism Villages by UNWTO generated significant interest from Members in every global region. 

July - September

As destinations in Europe welcomed tourists back for the peak summer season, UNWTO highlighted the role of  digital solutions for the safe restart of the sector. But UNWTO also looked ahead, to a more sustainable future , working with key partners to  reduce plastic waste and consumption across every part of the sector. Together, we celebrated World Tourism Day around the theme of Tourism for Inclusive Growth, a message of solidarity and determination that was echoed on a global scale.

October - December

The final quarter of 2021 began with cautious optimism as UNWTO’s Barometer showed signs of improvement in tourist arrival numbers during the summer season in the northern hemisphere. A new partnership with Netflix will bring the message of tourism as a driver of opportunity to a massive global audience, while in November, UNWTO was tourism’s voice at COP26 and signatories to the landmark Glasgow Declaration keep growing. Finally, against the backdrop of the UNWTO General Assembly , the programme of work for the coming biennium was approved and 77% of Members voted to secure a second mandate for the Secretary-General from 2022-2025.

Growing and Moving Forward

UNWTO brings together political leaders from across the globe to deliver a strong, coordinated response. Governments, destinations, fellow UN agencies and international organizations met at key international events joining efforts to rethink tourism. Institutional coordination has proven crucial to find the solutions that build a smarter, greener and safer tourism.

Leaving Nobody Behind

The pledge to ‘ leave nobody behind ’ means nobody should miss out : Not now as we support the sector in the face of crisis, and not in the future as tourism starts again. Tourism is a proven driver of equality and opportunity. And that’s why we turn words into actions, delivering guidelines and action plans , to ensure everyone can enjoy the opportunities tourism brings.

A Shared Vision

Advancing the transformation of the tourism sector , partnerships are the only way forward. In 2021, UNWTO signed agreements with international organizations and the private sector to step our vision for the future of tourism: innovation , education , sustainability , green investment , rural development.

World Tourism Barometer: September 2022

UNWTO updates World Tourism Barometer and reports international tourism back to 60% of pre-pandemic levels from January to July 2022

Below are excerpts from the September 2022 release of the UNWTO Tourism Barometer :

• The steady recovery reflects strong pent-up demand for international travel, especially in the months of June and July which are part of the Northern Hemisphere summer season. The easing or lifting of travel restrictions in an increasing number of countries also contributed to boost results.
• International tourist arrivals almost tripled (+172%) in January-July 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. Numbers climbed from -64% in January 2022 (versus 2019) to -28% in July, the strongest month since the start of the pandemic.
• Asia and the Pacific (+165%) saw arrivals more than double in the first seven months of 2022, though they remained 86% below 2019 levels.
• The ongoing recovery can also be seen in outbound tourism spending from major source markets. Expenditure from France was at -12% in January-July 2022 compared to 2019 while spending from Germany stood at -14%. International tourism spending remained at -10% in Belgium, -23% in Italy and -26% in the United States.
• The uncertain economic environment seems to have reversed prospects for a return to pre-pandemic levels in the near term. 61% of UNWTO Panel of Experts now see a potential return of international arrivals to 2019 levels in 2024 or later while those indicating a return to pre-pandemic levels in 2023 has diminished (27%) compared to the May survey (48%).

TOURISM TRENDS 2022

11 Aug TOURISM TRENDS 2022

The situation for tourism remains rather unusual as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

The crisis has marked a significant change for everyone, and above all for tourism, one of sectors hit hardest by the virus. 2020 was the year in which international tourism came to a near-complete standstill, and the only alternatives were domestic and local tourism.

2021 has seen some improvements, but only in a very subtle way as restrictions are still in place and many countries keep their borders fully or partially closed.

It is difficult to make an estimate for 2022 as it is not known how the pandemic will evolve. However, it is possible to talk about the new tourism trends that are likely to emerge over the coming year: – International travel with restrictions still maintained by both destinations and airlines in order to offer 100% security to the consumer.

– Reinforcement of COVID-19 testing; two years after the pandemic, COVID testing will still be in place as a preventive measure. – Conscious travel will be advocated. Travel to more distant destinations, but with prolonged durations of stay, as consumers look to enjoy as much of each place they visit as possible. – Green travel. Climate change is a problem that is present and growing. Consumers now are much more responsible and aware of the reality they live in on daily basis.

– A new trend is the “ed-ventures”. It is about combining education and holidays for the youngest members of the family. While adults may need to telework or attend meetings, their children can be doing workshops and learning in a playful way.
