Silversea ratchets up its inclusivity for 2022/23

Silversea Cruises will soon reveal its new 2022/23 program with enhanced inclusions, offering guests at least one complimentary shore excursion in every port of call.

Silversea’s all-inclusive offering was already one of the most comprehensive at sea. But now all cruise fares will also include round-trip airfares and transfers, providing even more value and convenience for guests.

The bonus will be available across Silversea’s entire fleet of 10 ships.

“We are enhancing our already comprehensive all-inclusive offering for the convenience of our guests, while leveraging on our destination leadership to take travellers deeper into over 900 of the world’s most amazing destinations on included shore excursions,” said Roberto Martinoli, Silversea’s President and CEO.

“Our expansive new collection of itineraries for 2022 and 2023, which will be the largest itinerary launch in Silversea’s history, features inspired voyages that have been carefully curated by our destination experts. With the inclusion of roundtrip air and transfers, we are further enriching our all-inclusive offering, which is among the most broad-ranging in the ultra-luxury cruise sector.”

Setting sail between March 2022 and May 2023, the new collection represents the cruise line’s largest-ever itinerary release, with almost 12 per cent more itineraries than the previous launch. It features 315 voyages across all seven continents, with stops at 669 destinations in 114 countries, including 61 maiden calls.

Travellers booked on these voyages will be able to reserve included shore excursions – as well as bespoke ‘Silversea Selected’ shore excursions (available for an additional charge) – from 180 days before sailing. To book go to my.silversea.com. The cruise line’s Venetian Society members will enjoy an additional 30 days to make their selection, reserving their chosen experiences from as early as 210 days ahead of sailing.

The inclusion of roundtrip air and transfers on all voyages will be a huge drawcard for travellers. Business class upgrades are also included in selected destinations and on selected voyages, such as the cruise line’s World Cruises and Grand Voyages. Special savings in the form of ‘non-use air credit’ are available to guests who wish to make their own travel arrangements or to those travelling from excluded regions. Depending on Silversea’s air program flight schedule, guests may also enjoy one or two hotel nights, or the use of a dayroom, included in the cruise fare.

In addition to some of the most spacious suites at sea (90 per cent of which offer verandas), guests travelling aboard Silversea’s ships enjoy personalised service provided by nearly one crew member for every guest, onboard entertainment and the following inclusions:

On top of these, as part of the most comprehensible all-inclusive expedition offering at sea, Silversea’s guests will also enjoy the following inclusions on expedition voyages:

• In-country flights on selected itineraries
• Highly qualified Expedition Team who are experts in their field
• Guided Zodiac, land and sea tours, as well as shore-side activities
• Enrichment lectures by our Expedition Team
• Complimentary expedition parka in cold-water regions
• Complimentary use of wetsuits and snorkelling equipment on selected voyages
• Complimentary backpack and water bottle

As Silversea’s cruise fares will now reflect the inclusion of shore excursions and roundtrip air, travel partners will be eligible for a higher overall commission per booking.

Part of an exclusive pre-sale, Silversea’s new 2022/2023 itineraries will go on sale to the cruise line’s Venetian Society members from 1 December. General sales will open on 10 December 2020.

Travel partners are invited to attend live webinars on 30 November/1 December to learn about the highlights of Silversea’s new 2022/2023 itinerary collection. Sign up here.
