Anyone ever taken Silver Explorer Valparaiso to Callao?

in Chile?

Asked about this on another thread to get correct names,etc.Thanks to a Scottish poster I now know correct cruise/ship to research.

But put under Search engine here and could nt find info.

So ,,anyone.Love to hear the details.Saw a Travel Channel show with similar(but slightly different ports).:confused:

In March 2012 Silver Explorer sailed without passengers from Valparaiso to Callao. Three days devoted to staff training, deep cleaning (carpets, drapes etc.) and other housekeeping. Passengers could do a (pricey) land/air trip from Valparaiso to Macchu Pinchu and rejoin Explorer in Callao. We left the Explorer in Valparaiso and joined another boat bound for the Panama canal and Florida.

I expect that Sliver Explorer's full iitinerary for 2014 is available on the Silversea website with all Silversea boats.

Probably not helpful if you specifically want to sail on Explorer, but Siver Shadow has an itinerary between Callao and Valparaiso in Januar 2015.

 

The cruise departs from Fort Lauderdale and then via the Panama Canal and down the west coast of South America.

and that timing would be fine,am booked up till 2015 at moment.Waiting for brochure to see all the details.Not even sure an expedition cruise would be our thing(good shape for late 60s,but not really into exploring on that scale).Like easy treks and more pampering. The area just looked interesting,sort of off the beaten track.After 20 yrs of cruising,have done many of the "NORMAL" ones.Alternate these ocean ones with river cruises,for best of both worlds.

Wonder how many SS cruisers take river cruises also??Seems Tauck,AMA and Scenic would be similar?;)
