Most of us are fortunate to have encountered a moment like no other, and more often than not, it occurs while traveling. We may not recognize it immediately, but as the Silver Cloud sailed away from a tiny Greenlandic island one August afternoon, I knew I had experienced something magical that could never be replicated. The island of Uummannaq in remote, northwest Greenland, is defined by a soaring, heart-shaped peak.

Even before the adoption of its first expedition ship in 2008, the Silver Explorer, Silversea excelled in seeking out the world’s natural beauty — its wildlife, the untrammeled landscapes, the places where guests could escape the frenetic pace of life at home. The smaller size of Silversea’s ships has meant the fleet can tuck into ports that most big ships cannot, settings that can deliver extraordinary experiences.

What makes a Silversea moment? Above and beyond providing polished service, capacious accommodations, and broadly satisfying cuisine, I think it’s those magical happenings that we know might never transpire again. It could be something Silversea crafted behind the scenes and delivered unexpectedly, or it might be a confluence of right time, right place, but they’re memories we fondly associate with the cruise line.
