Silversea Offer: Free Airfare and $1,000

On many cruise lines, the fare is just the beginning of the charges, as drinks, gratuities and other incidentals add up to a surprisingly high bill. With all-inclusive lines such as Silversea, however, the only surprises are pleasant ones. On 40 departures throughout 2011, Silversea now offers a $1,000 per-suite shipboard credit, as well as free airfare from certain cities (some airports incur a relatively minor surcharge).

Every accommodation on the Silver Cloud, Wind, Shadow and Spirit also includes complimentary butler service. The brand-new Silver Spirit spends the summer and autumn cruising the most beautiful ports of the Mediterranean. Many of these voyages feature the inclusions noted above, as well as fares reduced up to 60%.

For those unfamiliar with Silversea, one of these cruises would be a wonderful introduction. For more information, contact the Andrew Harper Travel Office at (800) 375-4685 or [email protected].
