Such is the popularity of world cruising nowadays that cruise lines are launching their 2008 voyages before the 2007 cruises have even departed. Having just enjoyed a thoroughly decadent week of spectacular food and wine and impeccable service on Silversea’s Silver Cloud, I must say that the prospect of a full 110 nights on Silver Shadow, its larger sister, is highly appealing!
The ultra-luxurious Silver Shadow is to circle the globe in 2008, starting and finishing in Fort Lauderdale. The cruise is themed ‘The Rhythms of the World’ and sets sail carrying 382 privileged and pampered guests on January 16, 2008 on a 110-day voyage to 50 ports of call in more than 25 countries.
Silver Shadow will sail through the Panama Canal and along the Mexican Riviera, to four tropical Hawaiian hideaways and intriguing island destinations like Majuro in the Marshall Islands, Pohnpei in Micronesia, Apra Harbour on the island of Guam, and historic Iwo Jima, all previously unexplored by Silversea.
Other highlights will include extended overnight calls in Hong Kong, Ho Chi Minh City, Bangkok, Mumbai and Barcelona.
Guests who book the full 110-day cruise will enjoy exclusive shoreside events, including a hosted event on the eve of departure with hotel accommodation and private transfer and baggage handling between airport, hotel and ship; onboard
spending credit; escorted shore excursions to exotic sites in select ports of call; a gala farewell event; and special commemorative gifts. For more information, visit www.silversea.com.
