Silversea offers free flights to boost European cruise bookings
Silversea Cruises is offering British travellers free roundtrip economy flights from the UK to kick start bookings.
The free flights are being offered from London and selected regional airports on 28 voyages to Europe and the Mediterranean this summer.
The free Air Programme also includes complimentary transfers from airport to ship on day of embark and disembark.
Business Class fares now start at just £199 for selected European voyages and £1,999 for Alaskan and Caribbean voyages – representing savings of over 50%.
“We’ve created these new programmes to make it as attractive as possible for guests, who may have been holding back, to move ahead with their travel plans for 2009,” said managing director for UK and Ireland Trudy Redfern.
The special air incentives are being offered subject to availability.
