Silversea Cruises has created 13 new "Elegant Explorations," which are extended voyages of 24 to 92 days in 2009. These voyages combine visits to must-see traditional ports with exotic destinations that are off the beaten path.
"Our Elegant Explorations are all-inclusive extended escapes perfectly suited to those guests who have the time to indulge their wanderlust at a leisurely pace, in unabashed luxury and comfort," said David Morris, Silversea's executive vice president of worldwide sales and marketing.
"You can explore the most desirable ports of the Mediterranean for 24 days, sail for 46 days around South America and the Caribbean or take a diverse 53-day voyage that spans from Tokyo to Barcelona."
Highlighting the program are savings incentives and onboard spending credits of $500 per suite (based on double occupancy) for guests sailing 40 to 57 days and $1,000 per suite for guests sailing 58 to 91 days.
For the Grand Pacific Voyage, guests who sail the full 92 days will receive an onboard credit of $2,000 per suite. Complimentary business-class air upgrades are also available with the purchase of the optional Silver SKY Air Program on voyages of 50 or more consecutive days.
The company's first-ever Grand Pacific Voyage is timed to coincide with prime regional seasons of the Pacific Ocean.
Departing Los Angeles on March 7, 2009, Silver Shadow will visit 45 ports in 15 countries and two hemispheres, with overnight stays in Bora Bora, Sydney, Singapore, Ho Chi Minh City, Hong Kong and Tokyo. In addition to the $2,000-per-suite spending credit, other amenities for full-voyage guests include complimentary hotel accommodations in Los Angeles on the eve of departure, plus transfer and baggage handling between airport, hotel and ship. Fares start at $55,170 per person, based on double occupancy.
