For the first time in its nearly 20-year history, a female captain is at the helm of a Silversea ship.
Capt. Margrith Ettlin assumed control of the 132-guest expedition ship Silver Explorer on August 7 in Reykjavik.
Ettlin is a Swiss national with extensive maritime experience in remote regions, including the Arctic and Antarctica, the company said.

“We’re very pleased and proud to extend this promotion to Captain Ettlin,” said Christian Sauleau, Silversea’s executive vice president of fleet operations. “Although we’re not the first cruise company to have a female captain, we hope Captain Ettlin’s achievement will inspire other women to pursue careers at sea.”
Prior to joining Silversea as a staff captain in March 2010, Ettlin worked for Germany’s F. Laeisz shipping group. Her maritime career also includes nearly nine years as a staff captain with the German shipping company Hapag-Lloyd.
