(June 24, 2010) Ultra-luxury Silversea Cruises has just sweetened the deal for single travelers by reducing the single supplement to a mere 10% (above the per-person, double-occupancy fare) for Vista, Veranda and Midship Veranda Suites on 4 voyages this year. Plus, 9 new sailings have a single supplement of just 25%.
Recognizing that a growing number of men and women are traveling alone today, either by choice or necessity, the luxury cruise line is rolling out new Solo Traveler fares that make independent travel a most affordable and enticing option. This is the perfect time for single travelers to treat themselves to a luxurious Silversea cruise, visit fascinating destinations, and make friends along the way.
"These special rates make it easier for our single guests to make vacation plans without having to worry about finding a travel companion to keep the costs down," said Steve Tucker, Silversea's vice president of field sales for North America. "And what makes our new solo fares most attractive is Silversea's unrivaled all-inclusive value combined with other great incentives such as savings of up to 60% off published fares and free roundtrip air packages that include transfers."
With a crew-to-guest ratio that is almost one to one, single guests enjoy highly personalized service, warm hospitality, and an ambiance that makes them feel right at home. Also, on several voyages, Social Ambassadors will be on board, which is a real plus for single female guests looking for a dining companion or a dance partner.
All-inclusive fares include a spacious, ocean-view suite (most suites feature a private veranda), attentive butler service, complimentary wines and spirits, fine dining, sophisticated enrichment and entertainment programs, and all onboard gratuities.
