Silversea Hosts World Premiere of Steve McCurry’s Film


Silversea Cruises recently hosted the world premiere of “McCurry: The Pursuit of Color”, an intimate portrait of Steve McCurry, the brand’s longtime collaborator and one of the world’s most celebrated photographers, on its fleet.

The film played onboard the fleet’s 11 ships throughout June, inspiring travelers to love the authentic beauty of the world and to protect the planet and its people.

“McCurry: The Pursuit of Color” chronicles Steve McCurry’s rise to the pinnacle of his craft, revealing the untold stories behind his iconography and highlighting pivotal moments in his adventurous life.

“We are honored to work closely with Steve and to sponsor, co-produce and screen this film, directed by award-winning filmmaker Denis Delestrac, on our fleet of 11 ultra-luxury ships,” said Barbara Muckermann, President and CEO of Silversea Cruises. “Silversea Cruises views immersive travel as a form of self-enrichment that fosters a deep respect for the planet and the communities we visit. In this regard, Steve McCurry is the perfect ambassador for our cruise line. The film delivers powerful messages about diversity, respect and embracing differences. As one of the most iconic voices in photography for more than 50 years, his work inspires viewers and our guests, celebrating the authentic beauty of the world we all share with a distinctive quality.”

“I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Silversea Cruises and Barbara Muckermann, President and CEO, for presenting the documentary on my work and career on their fleet. I hope viewers will see the world as I have over the past five decades and understand how photography transcends language barriers and cultural differences, inviting us to reflect on the beauty and complexity of our planet.”

McCurry: The Pursuit of Color, produced by Intrepido Films and Polar Star Films, is written and directed by Denis Delestrac, a renowned documentary filmmaker and winner of more than 40 international awards.

“Steve is the creator of many iconic images in modern history for many people, but he is a reserved person,” says Denis Delestrac. “He prefers to let the images speak for him, but I was interested in going beyond the images to find out what has made his work so powerful and relevant for almost four decades. In the film, we go back to his childhood and life experiences to understand his unique vision. I will be forever grateful to Steve for opening up and sharing his life stories with me. I also thank Silversea for making our voyages to the world’s most rewarding destinations possible.”
