Silversea offers up free shore excursions
I love writing about good cruise deals, and ultra-luxury line Silversea has a great one right now.
New bookings made between now and Nov. 31 of this year on select voyages to the Caribbean in 2018 are eligible for a free shore excursion in every port of call.
Departures with this offer are available on select Caribbean cruises aboard the elegant 296-guest Silver Wind, as well as Silversea’s newest ship, the 596-guest Silver Muse.
An entire list of complimentary excursions is available, including snorkelling and swimming with turtles in Bridgetown, Barbados; exploring the nutmeg plantations and waterfalls of St. George’s, Grenada; and a half-day tour of Fort-de-France, Martinique.
“We invite winter travellers to take advantage of this special offer to enjoy a warm-weather luxury cruise to the beautiful islands of the Caribbean, which are ready to welcome our guests with the region’s signature warmth and hospitality,” said Mark Conroy, Silversea’s managing director for the Americas.
“With these carefully selected shore excursions, our guests can immerse themselves deeper in each island’s remarkable culture and heritage.
Silversea’s Caribbean cruises are already value-priced, particularly when you consider the extras Silversea gives you.
Across its all-suite fleet, guests are treated to inclusions such as butler service, complimentary alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, a pillow menu with nine different choices, and three types of toiletries — Bulgari, Ferragamo and hypoallergenic — to choose from.
Silversea’s onboard atmosphere is relaxing and soothing, reinforced by the line’s friendly crew members, who take pride in remembering your name and your preferences. Many lines promise this; few deliver like Silversea does.
The real pleasure comes with your second, third or even tenth voyage, as crew members greet you by name the second you step onboard. You’re less of a guest, more of a cherished friend, when you sail with Silversea.
To sweeten the deal, Silversea is also offering round-trip economy-class airfare from a number of Canadian gateways for $199 per person on select 2018 Caribbean voyages. As with the shore excursions, these have to be new bookings made between now and Nov. 31 to qualify.
Most of the voyages that qualify for this promotion set sail between February and March, and range from seven to 13 days in length.
If you’ve been thinking about cruising to the Caribbean this winter, however, this is the most all-inclusive way to do it.
