Silversea Cruises has unveiled a collection of 246 voyages for 2017 that are now available for reservation.
These include itineraries for the cruise line’s current fleet of eight ships, which will collectively visit more than 800 destinations across seven continents.
“Every year Silversea strives to offer inspirational journeys that combine the luxury of intimate cruising with the thrill of making new cultural discoveries,” said Lisa McAuley, commercial director, UK and Ireland. “We believe our voyage collection for 2017, with its wealth of longer, port-intensive cruises, will accomplish just that. From the rainforests of South America to the castles of Europe and the temples of Asia, guests will enjoy experiences that will enrich their lives for years to come.”
