Silversea Cruises buys expedition ship World Discoverer
SINGAPORE – Silversea Cruises Group Ltd has purchased the expedition ship World Discoverer, which will undergo a multi-million dollar refurbishment before it begins service in spring 2008.
After the planned refurbishment, World Discoverer will accommodate around 140 guests (reduced from current 175) in ocean-view staterooms, including Owner’s Suites, Grand Suites, and 12 yet-unnamed suites that will be similar to the line’s popular Silver Suites.
Other guest amenities are an elegant single-seating main dining room, a specialty restaurant, library (with desktop computers and Internet access), boutique, beauty salon, fitness centre, sauna and whirlpools. The ship will also feature several lounges for enjoying drinks, music and entertainment, including a cigar lounge like the Humidor on the line’s other ships.
Silversea’s Chairman Manfredi Lefebvre believes exploration cruises can combine extremely well with the exclusive product offered by the company. “With the addition of World Discoverer, our current fleet increases to five ships and to six from 2009,” he said.
