HUBERT: DESIGNER
THE BOUTIQUE ABOARD SILVERSEA 11:30 AM
For nearly 25 years Hubert Gesser has traveled the globe in search of nature’s most beautiful treasures. He looks for the best the world has to offer in a spectrum of gemstones from
classic blue sapphire to exotic Paraiba tourmalines. Brazilian born and raised Hubert came to the United States when he was 18-years-old, attending the University of California, where
he earned a Bachelor’s of Science degree in mechanical engineering.
But when Hubert met someone who traveled the world importing gems, he decided without hesitation, to invest his then entire net worth into loose gemstones.
This decision inspired a career change that he would build into a successful gem lapidary house and jewelry manufacturing company known today as Hubert Inc.
Join us in the Boutique to view this unique collection.
TOM SEALS – THE PIANO MAN
TONIGHT’S SHOW AT 10:00 PM AT THE SHOW LOUNGE, DECK 6
The mantle of UK Piano Man has been dominated by Elton John, Jools Holland, and Jamie Cullum. Over the past five decades, no one else has come remotely close – until now that is!
Fresh from his sell-out “Let The Good Times Roll” Tour – Tom Seals, “quite possibly the future of jazz and blues”, has the world at his fingertips. His virtuoso solo-ing, excellent improvisations skills, and distinctive voice have left top industry officials hailing him as the UK’s finest boogie-woogie and blues pianist/vocalist.
Still, only in his mid-twenties, Seals is surely destined for greatness. Hot on the heels of sold-out shows across the globe including London’s legendary Ronnie Scott’s, a stunning performance at Birdland Jazz Club on Broadway in New York, and working with Jools Holland, Tom Seals’ star is destined to soar stratospherically in 2021 with the release of his debut album, own TV show and festival appearances worldwide.
Tom is now filming a ‘live’ version of the show. Recent guests include Slade’s Noddy Holder,
Whispering Bob Harris and comic Jo Brand. The UK’s newest piano man is here.

MEET ENRICHMENT LECTURER DR. MARK ELOVITZ
Back in 2012, Singapore’s Prestige Lifestyle Magazine featured Dr. Elovitz as a “Seminal Visionary.” International audiences acclaim him as a captivating commentator on world affairs. But, Dr. E. – as worldwide aficionados happily refer to him – simply says he is a geopolitician blessed with strategic hindsight.
Prior to lecturing around the globe, Dr. Elovitz served as a litigator, a professor of law, a U.S. government advisor, and a U.S. Air Force Officer.
As a Phi Beta Kappa scholar, he has earned four (4) post-graduate degrees.
Dr. Elovitz has published hundreds of articles. His wide-ranging subjects have addressed legal liability, American public policy, world affairs & international geopolitics. Some of Dr. E’s many colorful commentaries include: “Whose Lunch Is The Dragon Eating?”, “The Machiavellian Mideast”, “Bear Claws & Dragon Breath”, “Political Wimps, Wusses & Wieners” and “When Is Later Too Late?”.
In addition, Dr. Elovitz had previously authored a regular newspaper column focusing on enhanced healthcare delivery. He has also been the lively and often provocative anchor/commentator for a World Affairs T.V. show.
Dr. Elovitz has lived in both Europe and the Mideast. As a United States Air Force Officer, he was a liaison to the American military stationed throughout England, Europe, and North Africa. In that role, he received the U.S.A.F. Commendation Medal for “Exemplary Pedagogic Skill.”
Additionally, Dr. Elovitz served in Washington during the Carter and Reagan Administrations as a government advisor on public policy. Dr. Elovitz has testified before the U.S. Congress’ Committee on Foreign Affairs. He has also been a participant in the U.S. Naval War College’s Current Strategy Forum. Currently, Dr. Elovitz is Director of the Centre For Strategic Geopolitics, a world affairs think tank.
Dr. Elovitz is recognized for his penetrating insights into and astute assessments of world affairs. His distinctive careers, extensive worldwide travels, and diverse international contacts produce presentations with uncommon depth and unique understandings of world affairs. He deftly provides the unjaded content and context that are often sadly absent from the print and broadcast media. As a result, Dr. E’s dynamic presentations are colorful, illuminating, and decidedly thought-provoking.

MEET ENRICHMENT LECTURER PROF. GEORGE LOSEY
George S. Losey, Jr., Professor Emeritus, Department of Zoology and Hawai’i Institute of Marine Biology, University of Hawai’i.
Professor George Losey was entranced by the ocean growing up with diving mask and plywood body-surfing board on the S.E. Florida coast. When first introduced to the fledgling sport of SCUBA diving at age 14 in 1954, he was literally “hooked.” Exploring and spear fishing throughout Florida and the Bahamas convinced him that this had to be his future. He received his Ph.D. in 1968 from Scripps Institution of Oceanography working on reef fishes of the E. Pacific. His studies introduced him to Ethology, a largely European discipline relatively new to the USA that concentrates on study of the natural behavior of animals and their social interactions. He left La Jolla in 1968 for the warmer waters of the University of Hawai’i and remained as a Professor and Researcher in the Department of Zoology and the Hawai’i Institute of Marine Biology. His research projects, mostly funded by the National Science Foundation, concentrated on cleaning symbiosis in fish and sea turtles, aggressive and territorial behavior of reef fishes, sex change in reef fishes, learning and instinctive behavior in freshwater and marine fishes and, most recently, ultraviolet vision and coloration in reef fishes and how these fishes cope with UV radiation. He lived underwater as an Aquanaught in Puerto Rico, dove in purse seines of the E. Pacific fishing fleet with dolphins and tunas and has visited marine labs from Israel to Australia.
Dr. Losey first started cruise ship speaking in 1996 on the QE 2 and was, once again, hooked. He decided that this was a far more civilized way to enjoy the ocean than sailing in rough Hawaiian waters in his 30 ft. sloop. Since then he has given talks on various ships with topics in oceanography and climate change, coral reefs, marine biology, Hawaiian natural history, Hawaiian legends and “nature vs. nurture” of human and animal behavior. He often combines research with lecture cruises: In the Caribbean, he converted part of his stateroom into a traveling laboratory to study aspects of ultraviolet vision in fishes purchased in each port. If you are curious, stop George to further pursue the topics of his talks and find out just what he is up to on this cruise. He is always happy to sit and enjoy a “tall cool one” in relaxing conversation.
MEET OUR NEW CAPTAIN – MICHELE MACARONE PALMIERI
Michele was born in Sorrento, South Italy. He completed his nautical studies in the ‘Istituto Nautico Nino Bixio’ in Piano Di Sorrento 1976. In the same year he joined the Italian cargo line ‘Lloyd Triestino’ as a cadet for a period of 18 months.
He then went on to become an Officer on many different cargo ships, including gas tankers, chemical and bulk carriers. In 1987, with the Ocean Quest cruise line he had the opportunity to join a passenger ship for the first time with the rank of Second Officer until 1989. Roughly two year later he moved to the Renaissance Cruise Line where he covered the position of Chief Officer until 1994.
Silversea Cruises offered him the position of First Officer on the Silver Wind. He was on board during the building and construction of the ship and for the maiden voyage. For his second contract, on the Silver Cloud, he was promoted to Chief Officer Navigator and since 1998 in the position of Staff Captain, or Second in Command. Captain Macarone Palmieri was appointed Master of the Silver Cloud for the first time in the early 2002. During the last few years he has been in Command of all Silversea’ s ships.
In his recent appointment as Master of the Silver Whisper, Captain Macarone Palmieri is responsible first and foremost for the safety of the vessel and all guests and crew on board, as well as the navigation and the actual maneuvering in and out of port. He conducts weekly meetings with all department heads to ensure the smooth operation of the ship. Presently living in South Africa, during his vacation, he enjoys to spend quality time in Italy and South Africa with his sons, daughters and dogs.

Today’s Schedule – On the Spice Route
This full-day tour provided an excellent introduction to the southern end of Mahe, Seychelles. Golden beaches stretch beneath spectacular granite peaks covered in dense tropical vegetation from which there are breathtaking views over turquoise seas. The tour began with a guided visit to Victoria the world’s smallest capital. From the antique clock tower and the modern National Library Building to the bustling market Victoria possesses a special charm. We explored the town with time for shopping before going to the Botanical Gardens.
Botanical Gardens
At the southern edge of Victoria lie some lovely gardens that are protected from development by their status as a national monument. Our guide showed you a delightful variety of rare and colorful plants including the endemic coco de mare. Next we drove up Bel Eau Road for an excellent panoramic view of Victoria, including the port, yacht basin, and the main buildings of the capital.
Mission Lodge Ruins
After driving up the spectacular Sans Souci Road where we saw some of the island’s cinnamon plantations and arrived at the Mission Lodge. Originally known as Venn’s Town the site was established as a school for children of freed slaves. Ruins blanketed with tropical greenery and a magnificent avenue of endemic trees are the only reminders of the school.
From here a short drive brought us to a local Tea Factory for refreshments. We continued the scenic drive along lower Sans Souci Road with views of mountain slopes covered with tea shrubs. Our sightseeing drive continued through picturesque fishing villages to the Hilton Allamanda Restaurant where we savored a delicious Creole lunch featuring local specialties served by the beach.
Eden Island
On our return we stopped by Eden Island which was entirely made from reclaimed sea beds. It reminded us of a small version of Palm Jumeirah in Dubai, UAE. The island was created artificially during the 2000s. It belongs to the Mahe Port Islands, which are mostly artificial islands created by funds from Dubai when the Dubai dredger was placed in Seychelles. It was invested and built by the King of the United Arab Emirates.The island is home to a group of wealthy villas and supporting business districts, restaurants and a shopping mall. The luxury marina is full of large yachts and is now a yacht club.

MAHE, SEYCHELLES – LARGEST ISLAND OF THE SEYCHELLES
Few places on Earth can claim to have been as blessed by nature as Mahe. Set in the remote Seychelles archipelago over 1,500 kilometres east of Mombasa, Mahe is largest of the 115 islands and is home to so many stunning attractions you won’t know where to begin.
For many the Seychelles are the destination of a lifetime. Cerulean seas, miles and miles of beach, lush, tropical jungle and surreal, natural beauty as far as the eye can see.
Not only does Mahe boast 68 pristine beaches, it is dominated by the towering peaks of the Morne Seychellois National Park. This splendid National Park takes up over 20% of the island and is home to a vast amount of endemic flora and fauna, including the ultrarare Seychelles Scops-owl.
Unsurprisingly, the crystal clear waters are a diver’s heaven, promising a colourful cornucopia of underwater life, regardless of how experienced you are.
Despite the island being visited in 1609 by the British, Mahe did not feature on any maps until 1742, when Frenchman Lazare Picault explored the as yet unnamed islands. However, it took a further 14 years for the French to lay claim to the islands, with the arrival of naval ship Le Cerf, captained by Corneille Morphey who christened the archipelago after Vicomte Moreau de Sechelles. He did this by setting down a Stone of Possession, which is on display in the National Museum.
The first settlers arrived in 1770 and 15 years later the population had swelled to 130 – 7 Europeans and 123 slaves. Today, there are 80,000 Seychellois.
BOTANICAL GARDENS
At the southern edge of Victoria, the Botanical Gardens host some of the most representative species of local flora and fauna. You will also have a chance to see the colony of giant tortoises, a rare species of fruit bat and the Coco-demer, the largest seed in the world, and one of the symbols of the Seychelles.
SIGHTS
• Mission Lodge Ruins
• Botanical Gardens
• National Museum of History
• Craft Village

• Anse Royale Beach
Today’s Schedule – A Moment in Time Excursion
Today we enjoyed the highlights of one of the world’s smallest capitals. Our tour began with the drive past Independence House which adjoins a large roundabout. A winged sculpture to commemorate Victoria’s bicentennial 1770-1970 is in the center. The town’s central point is the silver-coloured clock tower erected in 1903 as a replica of the tower at London’s Vauxhall Bridge. Around the clock tower cluster bank buildings, the colonial-style law courts, and the Anglican Cathedral. We passed the National Museum constructed in 1911 with an endowment from the British-born steel magnate Andrew Carnegie. After driving up the spectacular Sans Souci Road we discover some of the island’s cinnamon plantations.
Mission Lodge Ruins
Originally known as Venn’s Town the site was established as a school for children of freed slaves. Ruins blanketed with tropical greenery and a magnificent avenue of endemic trees are the only reminders of the school. While the children received a basic education the adults worked as labourers in the surrounding plantations. A brief walk through exotic trees with massive roots and forest like environment was a beautiful setting. At the end of the gathering were lookout points with visas of the island below. One notable lookout was built for Queen Elizabth’s visit in 1972. Afterwards a short drive brought us to the Tea Tavern where refreshments are served overlooking the mountainside tea plantation. We continued the scenic drive along lower Sans Souci Road with views of mountain slopes covered with tea shrubs and the ocean in the background. We pass through the coastal villages of Port Glaud and Grand Anse on the south coast and traveled through dense vegetation of the La Misère Mountain Pass enjoying more spectacular views of Victoria and the inner islands.
Botanical Gardens
On the return trip we visit these lovely gardens located at the southern edge of Victoria. The gardens are protected from development by their status as a national monument. Our guide showed us a remarkable variety of rare and colourful plants including the endemic coco de mar as well as giant land tortoises and fruit bats.

SHARENE
THE SHOW LOUNGE
Sharene began her musical training as a classical pianist at the age of 5. However, when she discovered the chromatic harmonica a few years later her true musical obsession began.
Drawn to the instrument’s beautiful sound Sharene set out to take harmonica further than any female artist before. Her mastery has become evident to her peers as well; Sharene was the 2017 runner-up in the harmonica World Championships.
At the young age of 25, she is already considered to be one of the greatest female harmonica players in history.
