Following the hugely successful promotion on 2010 voyages, Silversea are again offering Silver Saving Fares on all voyages in 2011 and Free Flights and Transfers on over 100 voyages. Cruise fares will rise as demand for the voyage increases. The Free Flight and Transfer initiative has been expanded and is now available from 7 UK gateways: London Heathrow, Manchester, Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Newcastle and Jersey. In addition, specially priced Business and Economy flights are also available from a number of UK gateways.
Itinerary highlights include Silver Spirit's 119-day Inaugural World Cruise and 7 new Silversea destinations: Brindisi, Italy; San Sebastian on the Canary Island of La Gomera; Ballycastle, Northern Ireland; St. Helier on the British Isle of Jersey; Matarani, Peru; Cooktown in Queensland, Australia; and South Australia's Port Lincoln.
"It's always our goal to provide unique and enriching travel experiences at the best possible value," said Ken Watson, Silversea's COO, "Our 2011 schedule and pricing has been carefully designed to offer a broad range of travel choices and to reward guests who book earlier'.
SILVER CLOUD
The 296-guest Silver Cloud starts the year with a series of Caribbean voyages and two crossings of the Panama Canal before spending a month in the Mediterranean. Silver Cloud then travels northward to summer in Iceland, Scandinavia, Britain and Ireland. An overnight visit to remote Archangel, Russia, is one of the season's highlights. Autumn in the Mediterranean precedes a stylish return to the warm Caribbean waters and explorations in the Amazon.
SILVER WIND
2011 itineraries aboard the 298-guest Silver Wind begin in fascinating Dubai, visit India and exotic Oman, slip into the seductive Seychelles and trace Africa’s coastline from Mombasa to Cape Town to Morocco. Mediterranean destinations, including the Holy Land and a Black Sea cruise fill the idyllic days of spring and summer, followed by two more cruises to the Holy Land and an encore of Arabian ports and Seychelles islands to close out the year.
SILVER SHADOW
As the 382-guest Silver Shadow opens the year with explorations of Oceania, spectacular New Zealand fjords and a first-ever, 30-day circumnavigation of Australia are among the season's highlights, followed by extraordinary Far East wonders during spring. Alaska cruises fill the entire summer season before a return to China, Japan and Vietnam. Popular holiday sailings in Australia and New Zealand are again on the calendar for 2011.
SILVER WHISPER
Aboard the 382-guest Silver Whisper, 2011 arrives in the majestic Chilean fjords, setting the tone for a year of spectacular experiences in South America, the Caribbean and Northern Europe. Fulfilling the requests of Silversea's valued guests, itineraries include three days in St. Petersburg, Norwegian fjord cruising, and autumn foliage season in Canada and New England. The year concludes as it began with Caribbean and South America voyages.
SILVER SPIRIT
For 540-guest Silver Spirit, 2011 features a 119-day Inaugural World Cruise spanning from Los Angeles to Southampton. This epic journey takes in the tranquillity of French Polynesia, Australia's untamed landscapes, the unique customs and cultures of Asia, Egyptian wonders and favourite Mediterranean ports from Italy and Monaco to Spain and Portugal. Throughout summer, special Mediterranean sailings focus on the Greek isles or the flavours of Italy. Exclusively for Formula One racing enthusiasts, Voyage 5112 overnights in Monte Carlo during the Grand Prix. Late autumn months are celebrated beneath the warmth of a Caribbean sun.
