Go west to find gold. Where salmon run upstream through cascading falls, bears trundle from their deep forest home to feast, and at the end of the Tracy Arm fjord seals bask on the bergs of Sawyer Glacier. Misty Fjords National Monument is an unspoiled paradise of ice fields, glaciers and rugged mountains. From the Barbary Coast to Big Sur, savour 17-Mile Drives seaside vistas, towering forests of ancient redwoods and colonial Spanish mansions. Indulge in the gourmet delights of San Franciscos Chinatown and Fishermans Wharf, Napa Valleys lush vineyards or one of Seattles signature coffees. Reel in a magnificent catch or watch mighty whales on their annual migration along the coast of British Columbia. The treasures of the region bestow new perspective to the meaning of big, leaving those who pass this way with a precious sense of awed amazement.

Embark on a journey of discovery. Experience our passion for perfection. Relish the best the world has to offer.
Welcome aboard.
Since the earliest days of sail, there has been something special about traveling by ship. It's about fresh air and sunshine. Breathtaking vistas and 360-degree views. New cultures and delightful discoveries. It's unhurried and relaxing; the opposite of just getting from point A to point B.
It is this magical experience of discovering the world and enjoying the special ambiance of an immaculately run ship that drives everything we do at Silversea Cruises.
Since
our
inception
in 1994,
we've
dedicated
ourselves
to
creating
an
entirely
new
standard
in
cruising,
the
ultra-luxury
class.
Thoroughly
modern
ships
with
every
technical
innovation.
The most
sumptuous
furnishings
and
appointments.
Inspired
cuisine
and the
finest
wines
and
spirits.
But it
is more
than
these
things
that set
us
apart.
It's an
understanding
of what
it takes
to make
our
guests
feel at
home and
welcome.
Finding
just the
right
balance
to
create
an
atmosphere
of
easygoing
elegance
without
an ounce
of
pretension.
Granted
this is
the most
difficult
way to
run a
cruise
line,
but it's
the only
way we
know
how.
Welcome
aboard
the very
special
ships of
Silversea.

Money-Saving Tips
Form a Group. Save and sail to Alaska!
Did you know the
most overlooked way to stretch your dollar is to form your own
Alaska cruise group. Traveling with family or friends, can
lower costs enough so you can travel even when the economies not
that good. Of course, most of us don't have the time - or
inclination - to make the calls and do the research for an
entire group. It's
a big job. However booking a group
cruise is easy for a professional travel agent. Your agent can
create a package that works for you, while your group will
realize across-the-board savings from group discounts that your
agent discovers.
"We just finished another
incredible 14 day cruisetour itinerary for 2008. Now I'm
getting ready to help a couple decide which one of 68
cruisetours we offer. I've already heard exciting chatter
about our guests seeing more of Alaska and really getting
off the beaten path. And believe me, between glacier
trekking, biking through Denali National park, and a rail
tour on the Wilderness Express, these folks are going to be
impressed."
Plan Ahead:
2009 Alaska Cruises and Cruisetours are now on sale
Reserve the best staterooms, balcony views and tours now. Get
your best savings by booking early!
Timing Is
Everything: The wide array of cruise lines and Alaska
cruisetours that are available create an equally large variety
of prices. The lowest fares tend to fall during the months of
May, and September, while prices rise substantially in June,
July & August. If you are flexible, you can save money by
sailing during May and September.
Good Deals Go
Fast: There are Alaska
cruises in May as low as $649 per person for 7 days! Offered on
the ships of Princess and Holland America. Of course, they are
for an inside stateroom, but at these prices they will go fast.
The Layered
Look:
The weather in
Alaska is unpredictable, so dress like an onion! Go with the
“layered” look so you can peel. Standing in front of a Glacier
is much like standing in front of your freezer with the door
open. Tuck a pair of light gloves in your pocket!
