2 General Information ORGANISED SHORE EXCURSIONS Booking Direct with Silversea gives you peace of mind. Our local tour operators are fully insured and have been comprehensively vetted. In the unlikely event of issues with a Silversea tour, we assume responsibility and the ship will wait for our delayed shore excursion. These are important factors when comparing value. Looking for a special program with your travelling companions? In a nod to our Italian heritage, let us reserve for you our Silver Shore Privato service - a private vehicle with driver and/or guide. Create your own itinerary or leave it to us. This service is available in most ports which you can reserve on MySilversea (my.silversea.com) or at the Shore Concierge desk onboard for a truly tailor-made arrangement. Please bear in mind as we traverse many far reaching destinations, the local infrastructure varies and is beyond our control. Road conditions and vehicles available locally may not be up to standards we are accustomed to. Guides and drivers may speak with a heavy accent at times depending on the port of call. Be assured however that at Silversea, we contract only the best tours and best operators available at each destination. Please Note: Silversea reserves the right to make any changes or modify a tour in case of unforeseen circumstances and/or to ensure the safety and comfort of our guests. BOOKING & CANCELLATION DEADLINES Shore excursions must be purchased on or before the booking deadline for each port of call.

Last-minute requests to participate on excursions are subject to space availability, which in some cases may not be determined until departure time pier-side.

Khasab Fort This impressive stronghold was built by the Portuguese in the 17th century when they were seeking dominion over the maritime trade in the Strait of Hormuz. Teak wood from India was used for its construction and the roof was fashioned from a mix of palm leaves, clay and stone. The structure you see today is the result of extensive restoration work carried out since the late 20th century. A circular building in the centre of the fort served as a kind of back up defence for additional protection. From the site of the fort you can enjoy excellent views and photo opportunities. Bukha Fort and Tower Leaving Khasab, drive along the panoramic coastal road to Bukha, which borders the Emirate of Ras al Khaima.

Explore these khors from a traditional-style dhow, or motorised sailing boat. Board the dhow either from alongside the ship or the pier. For many centuries, boats that sailed on the Indian Ocean have been called dhows.

Along the way, pass the ruins of Telegraph Island, formerly a British telegraphic cable base from Cruise by small fishing villages. While the dhow anchors, enjoy a swim, snorkel or just sit back and sip soft drinks, tea or coffee while admiring the scenery. Keep an eye out for dolphin, often sighted in the area.
