Silversea launches a new partnership with ORCA
Silversea has launched a new partnership with ORCA, one of the UK’s leading marine conservation charities.
Silversea is working with ORCA to enable guests to discover and engage with incredible marine life on their Silversea voyages on board Silver Explorer and Silver Muse. Guests will contribute to ORCA’s ongoing marine conservation work by helping to collect critical sightings and data of whales, dolphins and porpoises.
ORCA conservationists will travel on board select voyages, complementing the extensive Silversea enrichment programme by sharing their knowledge of the rich diversity of marine life on these cruises.
