Italian Luxe
The Silver Spirit
2-9 October 2010
Nice, France, Portofino, Italy, Livorno, Italy
Portovenere, Italy, Sorrento, Italy, Rome, Italy ...
The Silver Spirit, Silversea’s flagship, debuts December 2009 and will thrill you with the level of space, privacy and world-class amenities.
Silversea makes giving guests space and privacy a priority. Their ships are like intimate and exclusive resorts. When you retreat to your suite, you'll be amazed at the space, privacy and fine appointments. Crisp bed linens, plush bathrobes, European toiletries and personalized stationery; nothing has been overlooked. Intimate public rooms aboard ship are conducive to meeting your fellow guests. The atmosphere is relaxing and inviting, much like that of a fine private home.
Is it any wonder that year after year Silversea receives the highest awards from authoritative guidebooks and prestigious publications on both sides of the Atlantic? Among the many awards and accolades consistently received, Silversea has been named number one in Condé Nast Traveler’s Readers’ Choice Awards, received a coveted “Six Stars” from Fielding’s Guide to Worldwide Cruises and was named “World’s Best Small Ship Cruise Line” by Travel + Leisure.
And while these awards reaffirm Silversea’s commitment to providing an onboard experience that knows no rival, the greatest reward comes from their guests, who return to them again and again. And remember, all beverages and gratuities are included.
Silversea: the art of travel. The art of good living.
Your Voyage
2 October: Nice, France
Embark for a week of luxe. We sail at 11 PM.
3 October: Portofino, Italy
Tiny Portofino, on the Gulf of Rapallo, owes its fame and popularity to its spectacular setting, balmy climate and lush, luxuriant vegetation. Long a favorite with the glitterati and cognoscenti who have come to appreciate the unsurpassed charm and intimacy of this cliff-lined port.
4 October: Livorno, Italy
Gateway to Tuscany and the great cultural centers of Florence, Lucca, Pisa and Siena. The gently-rounded hills, accented by clumps of slender cypresses, have been immortalized in numerous paintings. Lush vineyards are the source of the famous dry, dark-red Chianti wines.
5 October: Portovenere, Italy
Portovenere, overlooking the Gulf of La Spezia, is built on different levels; enjoy strolling through the narrow streets, delighting in the town’s unique ambiance. From here it is possible to explore the ruggedly beautiful villages of Cinque Terre
6 October: Day at Sea
While we're at sea, enjoy wine tastings, designer boutiques, language and dance classes. Take in a matinee movie, check the market or your e-mail in the Internet Point, slip away with a novel from the library to a sunny chaise or with a movie to your suite. Or just take in the sun pool side. The choice is yours.
7 –8 October: Sorrento, Italy
Set high atop the cliffs, Sorrento is a town of extraordinary beauty that has endured as a favored resort for centuries. Sorrento is also known as a popular gateway to Pompeii, Italy’s most celebrated classical ruins. They offer a look at the finest example of a Roman town and its way of life, presented to modern eyes by excavation. Capri is just a jetfoil ride way.
9 October: Rome Italy
Disembark for your return to the “real” world - or stay on in Rome, or join Jerry and Brian for the Balkan Bazaar in Bucharest and Sofia; and then Berlin Golden Jubilee.
