In 1994, Silversea Cruises set a course of pampered luxury with the launching of the 296-passenger sister ships Silver Cloud and Silver Wind. Targeting the ultra luxury segment of cruising, the company hired experienced European staff and chartered an exotic course of itineraries. While yacht-like, all-suite luxury ships already had their place, Silversea upped the stakes by adding private verandas to 75% of all staterooms and made the experience as all-inclusive as it gets today. Silver Cloud and Silver Wind were so successful that the line built the larger, 28,000-ton 388-passenger Silver Shadow, which entered service in September 2000. She was followed by Silver Whisper in July, 2001. On Silver Shadow and Whisper, a standard cabin with private balcony is 360 sq. feet (vs. 295 on the existing ships), with most of the added space going into bathrooms and closets. Silversea recently introduced a series of Silversea Expeditions, allowing Luxury clients to experience destinations off the beaten path. Silversea guests can now explore the far corners of the earth while living in luxury accommodations. more

Featured Destination: Bahamas
Some years ago, Holland America went looking for an island in the Caribbean for the exclusive pleasure of its guests. In the middle of the Bahamas, 17 miles from the nearest neighbors, Holland America found it: uninhabited, idyllic, the choicest island in the archipelago -- Half Moon Cay. The line kept it largely untouched, so all its guests could discover an island of their own. Nine miles of beach stretch out in a great, smooth crescent, rimmed in blue. You can walk the whole distance and still only cover a portion of this unspoiled, private island. Half Moon Cay is an island destination featuring a comprehensive high-quality development that offers more facilities, services and activities than any other cruise line's private island. Half Moon Cay became operational in January, 1997. The island is shared with Holland America's sister company, Carnival Cruise Lines, for a select number of Carnival Caribbean sailings. Half Moon Cay is located on 2,400-acre Little San Salvador Island, Bahamas. more |
