silver spiritThis week, the Peter Greenberg Worldwide Radio Show travels to Venice, Italy to broadcast from the Silversea Cruises ship the Silver Spirit. Joining us will be Richard Bangs, the father of modern adventure travel, to talk about the hottest new (and a few barely discovered) spots for 2016, including a camel caravan through Sub-Saharan Africa. Pilot Patrick Smith, author of Cockpit Confidential, talks about the growing air safety danger with drones. Ship Historian Peter Knego weighs in on some of the great ships of the past, including the Normandie, and talks about the benefits of small ship cruising.

We’re also joined by Silver Spirit captain Alessandro Zanello and Executive Chef Anne Mari Cornelius—who details the fine art (and science) of sourcing local food on a cruise ship and integrating the different regions’ spices and flavors. Peter talks about the surprising reasons why a growing number of five star hotels in China are doing the unthinkable—asking the government to reduce their quality ranking to four stars. There’s all of this and more as the Peter Greenberg Worldwide Radio Show broadcasts from the Silversea Silver Spirit in Venice, Italy.
