anyone for a cruise?


Silversea calls itself a six-star cruise line. There are at most 382 passengers per sailing. Everyone travels in luxury. You will not get stuck in a claustrophia-inducing inside cabin without a view, because there are no inside cabins. Everyone gets a suite. Everyone gets an ocean view. Fully 80% of the cabins have private teak verandahs.

And look at what's included: All beverages are complimentary throughout the ship--including fine wines, spirits, and champagnes. The in-suite beverage cabinet is stocked daily with Silversea's compliments. All dining is open-seating. There is 24-hour complimentary room service. Silversea also includes entertainment, onboard enrichment programs, and all onboard gratuities.

Silversea is having a sale (for bookings made through April 30). Double-click on the image below to see the details. But three sailings in particular represent extraordinary values:

July 15, Lisbon to Copenhagen. An eight-day cruise starting from $2,428, all-inclusive.

September 20, London to Bridgetown, Barbados. A sixteen-day cruise starting from $3,438, all-inclusive.

December 9, Mumbai, India to Singapore. An eleven day cruise starting from $2,638, all-inclusive.

If you're a fan of ocean cruising, these Silversea sailings are something to consider. These fares are capacity controlled, cruise-only, per guest based on double occupancy in a Vista Suite.
