SILVERSEA DETAILS NEW 540 PASSENGER SILVER SPIRIT'S ITINERARIES
A new choice for high end incentive groups and full ship charters will soon be available. Silversea Cruises' new Silver Spirit will operate a 91-day "Grand Inaugural Voyage" departing on Jan. 21, 2010. The long voyage follows an 11-day "Holiday Spirit" maiden voyage sailing from Barcelona on Dec. 23, 2009, to Lisbon, and a 16-day "Maiden Crossing" departing Lisbon on Jan. 3 to Fort Lauderdale. After completing its inaugural season, Silver Spirit will spend the summer in the Mediterranean and then reposition to the Caribbean for fall and winter cruises. The "Grand Inaugural Voyage" will sail from Fort Lauderdale to Los Angeles and twist back to New York. The ship will visit Rio de Janeiro in time for Carnaval, journey around the Cape Horn, explore the Mexican Riviera, transit the Panama Canal and conclude with a Statue of Liberty event in New York Harbor. The voyage will visit more than 45 ports in over 20 countries and island destinations across two continents, with overnight stays in Fort Lauderdale, Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, Punta Arenas, Lima, Acapulco and Los Angeles.
The 36,000-ton Silver Spirit will accommodate 540 guests. Ninety-five percent of the suites will feature a private veranda. The ship will boast one of the highest space-to-guest ratios at sea today, 67. The onboard décor will lend a sophisticated 1930s Art Deco ambience to the public spaces, highlights of which include an indoor/outdoor spa measuring 8,300 square feet, three whirlpools, and six dining venues including Seishin, a Japanese restaurant, and the Stars Supper Club, featuring live music, dancing and nightclub-style entertainment. A new full-color, 36-page brochure showcasing Silver Spirit's inaugural season will be available in the coming weeks. For more information, call 866.377.2228 or e-mail Info@SevenSeasEvents.com
