Silversea has revised its fare structure to offer guests greater flexibility with the introduction of three new fare types with immediate effect.
These options allow guests to personalise their travel with pre- and post-cruise add-ons, including air travel, hotels, transfers and land experiences. The all-inclusive onboard offering will remain unchanged.
The new fares include the All-Inclusive Plus Fare, which provides a refundable deposit and coverage under the Fare Guarantee Program. Guests on oceangoing voyages can apply a shore excursion credit, determined by the length and region of the sailing, to the experiences of their choice. Expedition voyages will continue to include shore excursions, Zodiac tours, expert lectures, in-country flights, pre- and post-cruise hotel nights as required, and other customary inclusions.
The All-Inclusive Fare is available on oceangoing voyages and allows guests to purchase shore excursions à la carte, either before the cruise or on board. This fare requires a non-refundable deposit.
The Last-Minute Fare, available on select oceangoing and expedition voyages within five months of departure, offers savings for guests. The deposit is non-refundable and the full payment is required at booking.
All fare types allow guests to purchase air travel, pre- and post-cruise hotels, transfers, shore excursions and land experiences through Silversea, tailored to their preferences.
Silversea is also expanding its shore excursion offering to allow greater personalisation. New experience types include Highlight Experiences, providing seamless tours of iconic sites; Signature Experiences, smaller curated tours; Private Experiences, exclusive to a group of guests; Custom Experiences, tailor-made tours; and Overland Experiences, two- or three-day mid-cruise inland tours available on select voyages.
The brand has also launched City Stays by Silversea, offering pre- and post-cruise hotel stays in locations such as Copenhagen, Rome, Barcelona and Athens. These stays provide central accommodation with personalised service, giving guests the opportunity to explore local life, dining, historical and cultural insights, and interactions with the community.
“The Luxury of Choice reflects our deep commitment to delivering on the feedback of our guests,” said Bert Hernandez, president, Silversea. “Our guests consistently tell us that they value flexibility in their travels. With our new fare options, we’re empowering them to personalise every aspect of their journey – from start to finish – while continuing to enjoy our signature all-inclusive onboard experience, which is one of the most comprehensive at sea.”
