Top-of-the-line
company, all-suite, elegant small cruise ships sailing
worldwide. The cruise line is targeting the ultra luxury
segment of the market. Passengers are very similar to
those on Seabourn Cruise Line, Radisson Seven Seas Cruises
and Crystal Cruises - very high income, refined and
sophisticated travelers, they know and understand very
well quality, they have very high expectations and rough
judgment. Most of them are North Americans, plus a solid
European presence, particularly British and Germans. Owned
by the Lefebvre family of Rome (former owners of Sitmar
Cruises) Silversea Cruises has shown clearly that it
belongs with the best of them in the ultra-luxury cruise
market. Although it is not an inexpensive travel product
Silversea's all-inclusive pricing offers guests value for
money. Gratuities, port charges and alcoholic beverages
(including wine at lunch and dinner) are folded into the
cost of the cruise. The company even provides one
complimentary shore excursion on many of its voyages. That
outing is called the Silversea Experience and it
invariably features something other than the
run-of-the-mill tour ashore. In 2005 the Fort
Lauderdale-based cruise line introduced a new option for
its passengers called Personalized Voyages. In essence the
plan allows cruisers to choose their own
embarkation/disembarkation ports, regardless of the cruise
lengths and itineraries shown in the brochure. Each of the
four cruise ships is the result of the work of two
different Italian shipyards. The hulls were laid in the
Francesco Visentini yard near Trieste after which they
were floated and towed to their final outfitting in the T.
Mariotti yard in Genoa. All were designed by the Oslo,
Norway-based marine architect team of Petter Yran and
Bjorn Storbraaten. The ships' officers are Italian and the
service staff international.
On the employment side - the same
story as Seabourn Cruises, Regent Seven Seas Cruises and
Crystal Cruises. Requirements
are very high when it comes to selecting new employees.
Whoever has the qualities and experience needed though,
will enjoy the highest salaries, the most prestigious
working conditions and the most interesting itineraries in
the cruise industry. As the other lieder in the
ultra-luxury cruise market (Crystal Cruises, Radisson
Seven Seas Cruises and Seabourn Cruise Line), Silversea
Cruises is one of the most highly recommended for
employment.
