They were our first introduction to luxury small-ship cruising. In fact, it was Silversea that convinced us that we needn’t ever sail on a big cruise ship ever again. We were hooked on small-ship cruising.
We enjoyed the inclusive approach to Silversea’s sailings. We are now excited to see that they are becoming more all-inclusive than ever by adding a complimentary shore excursion in every port and included roundtrip air.
All of this will commence on Silversea’s new 2022 and 2023 itineraries launching next month.
For now, let’s take a peek at their press release:

“We are enhancing our already comprehensive all-inclusive offering for the convenience of our guests while leveraging on our destination leadership to take travelers deeper into over 900 of the world’s most amazing destinations on included shore excursions,” says 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.”
