I was very fortunate this year to have an educational visit on the Silversea Prince Albert Expedition ship.
We sailed from Edinburgh to Hamburg so it wasnt the Itinerary we were  going for  but more to get a real feel for the ship and find out what a ship of this size and style had to offer.

The Prince Albert holds 132 guests so she really is tiny , but this is one of her charms and you get such a warm and friendly feel onboard. Going on an expedition ship with a company like Silverseas is fantastic because you can go to some of the remotest places in the world but sill travel in six star luxury , so there are no comprimises.

 If you are considering a holiday on the Prince Albert then your main priority will obviously be the itinerary’s as this is by no means an all singing all dancing ship. On the evening instead of going to shows you may go to the theatre and chat about all the lastest findings of the day such as types of wildlife or sealife you have spotted . There are no real set times and dates either with the Albert Itineraries it is all dependant on the captain and the activity in the place you have dropped anchor , which is wonderful as if you have just found a polor bear and want to go out on the  Zodiac boats to get as close as you can then this is possible as there are no strict deadlines to adhere to.The accommodation onboard was of a very good standard and the food was absolutely beautiful. So much choice and quality above and beyond what I expected.If you fancy exploring places such as the arctic , antartica Central and South America and really learn about the culture of these places from the wealth of guest speakers they have onboard then I highly recommend this ship . Who wants keep repeating Med Cruises when theres a whole world out there to sail and explore……….
