Silversea: 340 ports, 116 countries, 140 itineraries
Luxurious Silversea Cruises announced its 2008 worldwide schedule with ships set to visit over 340 different ports in 116 countries with over 140 itineraries. Cruises range from six to 110 days.
Silver Shadow kicks off the year with its second World Cruise, departing Fort Lauderdale in January.
Other highlights include return visits to Alaska and Hawaii, plus 29 new destinations, including first-ever visits to Taiwan, Okinawa, Guam, the Marshall Islands, Pohnpei, the Marquesas and Northern Mariana Islands in the Pacific; The Gambia and Mozambique in Africa; and Saudi Arabia.
”It’s our goal to blend a luxury lifestyle with exciting and enriching travel experiences,” said David Morris, Silversea’s executive vice president of sales and marketing for North America.
He added:
“Our 2008 schedule has been carefully designed to offer a broad range of travel choices, including multiple-day calls and overnight stays showcasing some of the most historically and culturally significant destinations in the world, as well as myriad opportunities to explore the most exotic regions.”
The year will also mark the 382-passenger Silver Shadow embarking on its second World Cruise, a 110-day voyage encircling the world and embracing the cultures of more than 25 countries and over 50 different ports of call.
Departing from Fort Lauderdale, the intimate Silver Shadow will sail through the Panama Canal and along the Mexican Riviera, following a route of enchantment to no less than four tropical Hawaiian hideaways — marking the company’s first visit to the 50th state in five years. Intriguing island destinations like the tranquil Northern Mariana Islands, the Marshall Islands, Pohnpei, Guam, Okinawa and historic Iwo Jima, all previously unexplored by Silversea, will host inaugural calls.
