Travellers can explore the Mediterranean this summer aboard the four award-winning ships of Silversea, the highlights of which are front-row seats for America’s Cup and access to the artistic treasures in Northern Italy
Silversea’s guests can experience the 32nd America’s Cup regatta when Silver Whisper drops anchor in the Mediterranean harbour of Valencia. This 8-day voyage from Barcelona to Barcelona departs on June 22, 2007. All-inclusive, cruise-only fares start from £4,070 per person, including all port charges, government fees, taxes and special event fees, and a 10% Early Booking Incentive.
The ship will anchor alongside yachts in Portofino and Monte Carlo’s harbors or traverse the Aegean and into the Black Sea by way of the Dardanelles, giving the small ship the freedom to visit the less-travelled destinations.
