Silver Wind regularly invites destination experts, historians, and environmentalists to give talks on the regions we visit. These talks cover local history, culture, wildlife, and current affairs, helping our guests better understand the places we explore. Some cruises also feature panel discussions or Q&A sessions, allowing guests to ask questions and delve deeper into the topics. This intellectual stimulation ensures our guests leave the cruise with a broader view of the world.
In these hands-on workshops, guests can watch world-class chefs cook and then taste the dishes.
