Silversea launches Alaska Cruise Promotion

Silversea Cruises is offering special savings on twelve of its all-inclusive Alaska cruises departing between May and September 2009.

On the cruises, passengers will be able to discover the unspoiled paradise of glaciers, rugged mountains, ancient forests and abundant wildlife from the comfort of the all-suite Silver Shadow as it cruises in and out of small and off-the-beaten path ports that larger ships cannot access.

Enjoy a 10 day voyage departing 1 August 2009 from San Francisco, calling at Ketchikan; the historic gold mining town of Juneau, and picturesque Sitka, before cruising spectacular Tracy Arm Fjord and Sawyer Glacier. Silver Shadow then visits Wrangell in the heart of the Tongass National Forest, Victoria in British Columbia and Vancouver. The all-inclusive cruise only fares start from US$4,497 per person, double occupancy – a saving of 40%.

Alternatively choose a 9 day roundtrip voyage from Vancouver departing 25 August 2009, with ports of call including Sitka; Juneau; Skagway, which retains the flavour of the Gold Rush era; Wrangell, and Victoria BC. All-inclusive fares start from US$3,397 per person, double occupancy – a saving of 50%.

Port and fuel charges, government fees and taxes are additional to the fares quoted above.

A team of expert Alaska Cruise Lecturers will be aboard all twelve voyages to enlighten and entertain guests with onboard commentary, slide lectures and personal insights into the history, nature, wildlife and people of the region.

Shore excursions are also available to complement the cruise, and well as pre and post-cruise Silver Sights programmes in deluxe hotels and Land Programmes to destinations such as the Canadian Rockies and Denali National Park.

Silver Shadow is a luxurious yet intimate base at sea, with a crew of 295 looking after a maximum of 382 guests. Silversea’s fares includes all-suite accommodation; gourmet meals; complimentary wines, Champagne and spirits, and all gratuities.
