Alaskan Cruises

 

 

 

Why Silversea?
 

Most luxury brands began in Europe, and even today Italy is universally acknowledged as the world-centre of style, design, and that intangible allure called la dolce vita. There are the world’s leading fashion designers from Armani to Ferragamo, the temptations of la cucina Italiana, the Chiantis and Brunellos of Tuscany. And in the ultra-luxury travel market — there’s the polished perfection of Silversea.

While most cruise ships keep getting bigger and bigger, there is something uniquely satisfying about Silversea’s smaller ships. The intimacy. The close-knit camaraderie. The excitement of exploring secluded, rarely seen harbours where true adventure lies. That is why Silversea Cruises continues to sail against the trends with intimate ships that offer not only a richly abundant and highly personalised onboard experience, but also a meaningful and life-enriching travel experience for their guests.

Along with landmark destinations, the Silversea cruise ships call at smaller harbours inaccessible to larger ships. And they can dock right in the heart of a city while mega-vessels must anchor off shore. Which means less tendering and more time for Silversea guests to go exploring.

A Most Alluring Lifestyle

Step on board a Silversea luxury cruise ship and sense how time pauses – letting you breathe. Now imagine a schedule free to fill with all that is close to your heart, a world of earthly delights at your fingertips and a crew dedicated to your every whim. Each new day presents a personal canvas to fill with broad brush strokes of bright possibilities.

Inspired by each moment of unexpected bliss, share your prevailing sense of good fortune with like-minded, fellow guests, those new-found friends from across the globe who share your love of travel.

Then decide to join the daily happenings or decide to do nothing at all. Distinct among luxury cruise lines, Silversea personalises a variety of “big-ship” activities with small-ship ambience for an onboard experience as diverse and unique as you.

Who said Alaskan cruises would not be fun!

This is it - the world's largest zip-line at 5,330 feet long, 1,300 foot vertical drop, 60 mph maximum speed, soaring 300 feet above the ground! If you are looking for true adventure then the ZipRider is for you. Unlike anything you've seen before the ZipRider cable ride at Icy Strait Point is truly a "once in a lifetime experience".
 

  

 

 

Top 10 Reasons to take a Cruise

 

  1. Choose to cruise for VALUE. One price buys your cabin, dining, entertainment and more.

  2. Choose to cruise for ROMANCE. Secluded beaches, en suite dining on a balcony overlooking the ocean and spa services for two are just some of the romantic pursuits available.

  3. Choose to cruise for CUISINE. Tantalize your taste buds with gourmet fare that showcases exotic ingredients, old standbys like pizza and ice cream or spa cuisine for a healthy alternative. Depending on your mood, dine in a traditional ballroom setting, a small bistro or a casual eatery.

  4. Choose to cruise for VARIETY. With over 200 distinctive ships, 3000 ports-of-call and an unbelievable array of places to see and things to do, there is a perfect cruise for you. For even more choice, consider a pre- or post-land tour.

  5. Choose to cruise for ACTIVITIES. Fill your days with sightseeing, sports activities, cultural lectures, educational tours led by naturalists and historians or simply lounge by the pool and relax. At night, enjoy dance extravaganzas, musical revues, gaming or a quiet evening gazing at the stars.

  6. Choose to cruise for SIMPLICITY. Don't come back from your vacation needing a vacation. Planning a cruise is simple; your CLIA-affiliated travel agency can handle all of the details. Once you're on board, nearly all expenses are pre-paid... talk about hassle-free.

  7. Choose to cruise for NEW HORIZONS. Fall asleep in one destination and awake to a new horizon... and you only have to pack and unpack once!

  8. Choose to cruise for FAMILY. Families love cruising. Children's programs, kid-friendly menus and tours of the ship will keep your children happy, while affording you some time alone.

  9. Choose to cruise for PAMPERING. Regardless of your budget, all cruise lines pamper their guests with first-class service around the clock.

  10. Choose to cruise for SATISFACTION. It's a fact that cruises have a higher percentage of satisfied customers than any other vacation experience.
