Iconic photographer Steve McCurry—Silversea Cruises’ valued, long-term ambassador—has published previously unseen photographs in his new book, In Search of Elsewhere: Unseen Images. Of the work’s 102 captivating shots, 18 were taken during McCurry’s travels with Silversea, as the celebrated storyteller ventured deep into countries such as Benin, Madagascar, Mongolia, Papua New Guinea, Togo, and others.

First released in Italian, then in US English on November 24—and since translated into French, German and Spanish—In Search of Elsewhere takes readers across the globe, revealing the diversity of human life. From India, Myanmar and Cuba, to Togo, Ethiopia, Macedonia and the monasteries of Tibet, McCurry offers a new perspective on many of the world’s most fascinating destinations. McCurry is known for creating some of the most iconic images of recent times; his newest compilation reveals the incredible depth of his work. Lauded travel writer Pico Iyer, who is also a long-term collaborator of Silversea Cruises, penned the book’s foreword.

“This book documents my travels over the past 40 years, but more importantly, it records the ways in which people live out their everyday lives, no matter the joys and difficulties,” says Steve McCurry. “The overarching theme of this collection is that no matter how divided our world is, there are more things that bind us together as humans than divide us. […] My collaboration with Silversea has been one of the most fruitful of my career. I’ve been able to photograph such remote, far-flung communities. The respect that they have shown me and my work and the freedom to take pictures in my own way has been a gift.”

“We congratulate Steve McCurry on his beautiful new book, In Search of Elsewhere: Unseen Images,” says Barbara Muckermann, Silversea’s Chief Marketing Officer. “McCurry’s remarkable images perfectly capture the wonder of travelling, which is experienced by our guests as they journey deep into more than 900 of the world’s most inspiring destinations. We are very proud of our ongoing collaboration with Steve McCurry; through his lens and with his unique eye, our guests can experience the authentic beauty of the world in vivid colour.”
