A couple of quotes from Silversea website. First is the "description" of our cruise:
The beauty of a pod of whales and splendour of the majestic Polar Bear plunging for prey are never to be forgotten. The widest of all the Arctic Ocean shelf seas, the East Siberian Sea is a rare chance to witness nature in all her raiments. Beautiful tundra walks in almost infinite daylight, cultural demonstrations, and exceptional birding will make this voyage a life changing experience.
The second is from the terms and conditions:
Itinerary arrival and departure times are always subject tochange without notice. Silversea reserves the right to cancel,alter, advance, postpone or substitute any scheduled sailingor itinerary, substitute another vessel for the scheduled ship, orsubstitute or cancel scheduled ports of call, which, in its solejudgment and discretion, is justified for any reason, and to doso without liability for any loss whatsoever to guests as a resultof said change(s). Additionally, Silversea reserves the right tocancel reservations and bookings in the event of a full-shipcharter, whether or not a deposit or full payment has beenreceived, and in such event, Silversea’s only liability will be torefund to the guest the amount it has received.
So, maybe the rumor that Silver Discover has replaced Silver Explorer on this trip is true.

See everyone soon!
