In celebration of its 30th anniversary, Silversea is exhibiting images taken by the renowned photographer Steve McCurry, who has spent decades documenting cultures around the world for National Geographic and other organizations – including as a longtime resident photographer with the luxury cruise line. 30 images that McCurry took during Silversea voyages are on view aboard the latest fleet of Nova Class ships. On 21-26 September, coinciding with the Contemporary Curated auction in New York, Sotheby’s highlighted 10 of the 30 photographs spanning Antarctica to Easter Island, Italy to Japan, Tahiti to Papua New Guinea.
