Silversea Rewards Solo Travellers
Silversea Rewards Solo Travellers. Solo cruisers can now experience the luxury of Silversea without paying a hefty single supplement. Their single rates on select sailings are among the most generous at sea at only 5% – 25% over the double occupancy fare. An exclusive champagne reception allows passengers to mingle with fellow travellers and there are even gentlemen hosts escort some departures. OK, that looks after single ladies, what about the single men?
Lets face it, there are usually more single ladies onboard most sailings, so guys, one will never be short of a dance partner. My wonderful wife Sandra has always said, if anything happens to her, I should get a job as a dancing hosts onboard a luxury liner.
I believe 2012 will see some great single supplement offers across the board, due to recent events. So start thinking about where you want to take your next cruise.
In this writers opinion, 5 star ships offer incredible value. Many include tips, beverages and onboard credits. Many offer no cost shore excursions. Add to this superior dining options, usually at no additional cost and you have really great value packages. John Pond.
Silversea Sydney Swimsuit Parade
When ultra-luxury Silver Shadow berths at the Overseas Passenger Terminal Circular Quay on Friday morning she will be gearing up for a major lunchtime fashion launch onboard of the Kiargo Swimwear Collection.
The launch is aimed at fashion media (not cruise media) and the ship’s guests onboard. The 2012 Kiargo Swimwear catalogue was shot aboard Silversea’s flagship Silver Spirit.
The swimwear collection is designed by Australian Jessica Holmes for “real women” who enjoy cruising and travelling. The swimsuits will reflect a strong nautical influence, with everything from itsy bitsy bikinis, to the Kiargo Retro look.
Silversea sails for Auckland on this Friday evening with an almost totally full ship and returns on 12 February, as part of a 19 day Auckland to Fremantle cruise to end her annual summer South Pacific sojourn.
Silver Shadow will be positioned again in Australian waters from December this year to February next year.
JP: Now I am not sure what “real women” means, perhaps there will be no men in the parade? Or does it mean “larger women”, not quite sure? Anyhow the model and swimsuit look very good. John Pond.
Silversea Cruises is recognised as an innovator in the luxury cruise line industry, offering guests large-ship amenities aboard its intimate vessels, Silver Cloud, Silver Wind, Silver Shadow, Silver Whisper and the new Silver Spirit.
My FEETS TOO BIG
The Captain of the Costa Concordia allegedly told an investigating judge that he was assisting passengers but they were “pouring on to the decks” and “taking lifeboats by assault”.
“I didn’t even have a life jacket because I had given it to one of the passengers,” he is said to have explained to investigators.
“I was trying to get people to get into the boats in an orderly fashion.
“Suddenly, since the ship was at a 60 to 70 degree angle, I tripped and I ended up in one of the boats. That’s how I found myself there.
“Suspended there, I was unable to lower the boat into the sea, because the space was blocked by other boats in the water.”
This statement is due to go down in history, along with “the cheque is in the mail” John Pond.
