The Most Exclusive All-Inclusive Packages From Silversea

One of the advantages of an ultra-luxury Silversea Cruises voyage is that you rarely have to use your keycard for more than opening your suite door. To add more value, the already highly inclusive line is now offering a choice of the most exclusive all-inclusive fares available, as well as cruise-only fares on featured Mediterranean and Africa voyages in 2016. From the monuments of ancient Rome to the golden beaches of Cape Town, a multitude of ports with unique cultures and stunning scenery are available for the luxury cruise guests of Silversea to conveniently explore with the following all-inclusive package amenities:

--Roundtrip economy air travel and transfers
--2-night pre-cruise hotel stay (for Mediterranean sailings)
--3-night Safari (for Africa sailings)
--Free Silver Shore Select excursions
--Free Wi-Fi (for all 2016 sailings to all regions of the globe)

The all-inclusive air, land, and sea packages are available for new bookings made after Dec 16, 2015 on a trio of Silver Cloud voyages to Africa and the Indian Ocean, plus 30 Mediterranean cruises aboard Silver Cloud, Silver Wind, and Silver Spirit. They join the previously announced Silver Shadow Asia cruises, which also offer the all-inclusive package amenities on all sailings in 2016.

The most exclusive all-inclusive packages include a two-night pre-cruise stay at a deluxe hotel in the Mediterranean with transfers between airport, hotel and the ship (or for Africa voyages, a three-night safari in Kenya or South Africa), and roundtrip international economy airfare from over 50 gateways in the U.S. and Canada. Plus, a business class air upgrade is also available from $999 for transoceanic flights each way for Mediterranean voyages and from $2,749 each way for Africa.

The Silver Cloud Africa and Indian Ocean voyages, departing Nov 18, Dec 6, and Dec 21, 2016, also include a 3-night, pre- or post-cruise safari. From Mombasa, the safari includes air travel between Mombasa and Nairobi, one night at the Fairmont Norfolk hotel in Nairobi, and two nights at the Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club. From Cape Town, the safari includes one night at a deluxe hotel, two nights at a Kruger National Park lodge, and flight from Johannesburg to Cape Town. Game drives with safari guide, ground transfers, and some meals are also included. The all-inclusive package fare for the 18-day sailing from Dubai to Mombasa, departing Nov 18 also includes a post-cruise safari.

Guests may also take advantage of the flexibility of choosing their own airline and schedule with cruise-only fares on new bookings for these select voyages—and they will enjoy free Silver Shore Select excursions and free Wi-Fi.

"We want our guests to enjoy the flexibility of choice and Silversea is the only ultra-luxury line offering such an array of options," said Kristian Anderson, Silversea's senior vice president and general manager for the Americas. "Whether guests book cruise-only or opt for a seamless, tailor-made all-inclusive vacation, they will experience the highest levels of comfort, convenience, and value."

Guests who choose the most exclusive all-inclusive package option, as well as those booking cruise-only on these featured voyages, may enrich their travel experience with a choice of free Silver Shore Select excursions offered in every port of call. Whether it's discovering the architectural treasures of Barcelona, strolling back through time along the marbled lanes of Ephesus, or marveling at the magnificent sand dunes of Namibia, these small-group excursions present a destination's art, history, and culture in an intimate, authentic way, utilizing comfortable transportation and expert local guides. In addition to the free Silver Shore Select excursions, guests may purchase tours from a variety of land programs offering exceptional value, including the more-immersive Silver Shore Collection tours, as well as Silver Shore Privato, which provides a private car and driver for independent exploring.

The new air and land benefits join an array of included amenities that already features: open-seating gourmet dining; butler service for all suites; Champagne, select wines, premium spirits, specialty coffees, bottled water, juices and soft drinks; in-suite bar stocked with guests' preferences; in-suite dining and 24-hour dining service (from a formal dinner ordered from The Restaurant menu and served in-suite, to lighter fare served in attended lounges); lecture and enrichment programs; roundtrip transportation into town (in most ports); onboard gratuities (exclusive of spa treatments), and free Wi-Fi for each guest.
