World Cruise Guests Can Explore Ancient and New Treasures
on Optional Overland Tours Featuring Luxury Hotel Accommodations
With the 2008 Olympic Games less than a year away, China is abuzz with excitement and activity as the country prepares to welcome the world. The host city of Beijing is already dressing itself up with brand new stadiums, hotels, restaurants, galleries and upscale shops that will accommodate the needs of an unprecedented influx of visitors -- meaning the months leading up to the Summer Olympics offer a unique opportunity for savvy travellers to explore China's greatest cultural and historic attractions amid the growing fanfare, but without the crowds.
Recognising the destination's special allure, ultra-luxury Silversea Cruises is offering guests aboard Silver Shadow's World Cruise 2008 a collection of optional overland adventures carefully tailored to showcase China's rich history and fascinating culture, while offering a glimpse of new attractions like Beijing's stunning new National Stadium and the iridescent National Aquatics Centre, known as the Water Cube, both specially constructed for the Summer Olympics.
"Our new overland programmes to Beijing blend together the ancient traditions and splendours of this legendary city with all the excitement and anticipation of a country revitalising itself as it prepares to host one of the most important global competitions in sporting history. It is an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness the past, present and future all converging on one great city," said Joseph Proto, Silversea's director of world cruise and business development.
The programmes are available on Silver Shadow's 21-day "Ode to a Peaceful Sea" segment (#3804), departing 8th February 2008 from Honolulu to Hong Kong, and "Harmonies of Legend and Legacy," a 14-day journey (#3805) from Hong Kong to Singapore that departs on 1st March 2008.
