Silversea Cruises Adds Another "Touch of Luxe"
 One of the world's leading deluxe cruise lines, Silversea Cruises, recently introduced "Silver Shore Concierge" Service that enhances the concept of personalized service that has long been a trademark of the Silversea experience. "A concierge aboard each of our five ships along with his team of destination experts will arrange onshore experiences that accommodate our guests' particular interests and/or assist them in designing their own one-of-a-kind excursion," noted Darius Mehta, Silversea's director of land programs.
For example, arrangements can be made for behind-the-scenes or after-hours access to exclusive designer shops, museums, and cathedrals. Other possibilities might include a champagne picnic and hot air balloon ride over Tuscany, access to a designer's exclusive atelier in Venice, or a catamaran cruise through Juneau's glacier-carved fjords.
Guests can also call upon the concierge to plan precruise and postcruise land programs that include accommodations at some of the world's best hotels along with booking flights, ground transportation, and guided tours of historical sites and other attractions.
This new Concierge service is the centerpiece of an array of new Silver Shore tour and hotel offerings designed to make the destination experience more personal and authentic, including:
* Silver Shore Privato -- guests experience the destination at their own pace on full or half-day excursions by private car or van that can be reserved on board or in advance of sailing via www.silversea.com/MyVoyage.
* Silver Shore Expedition -- adventurous and educational tours for the active explorer.
* Silver Shore Collection -- unique and exclusive in-depth explorations of local history and culture.
* Silver Shore Excursions -- intimate and rewarding small-group touring.
* Silver Shore Land Adventures -- multiday excursions that head inland to explore the region in depth. Offered before, after or during select voyages, they include accommodations, all transfers, sightseeing and some meals.
* Silver Shore Simply Hotel -- single-night programs that feature a 4.5- or 5-star hotel stay before or after the cruise at hotels such as as the Inter-Continental Athenaeum in Athens, the Park Tower in Buenos Aires or Rome's Bernini Bristol.
* Silver Shore Grande Hotel -- two-night programs that enable guests to extend their vacation at Claridge's in London, the Peninsula in Bangkok and other landmark hotel or boutique properties around the globe. Full breakfast and private transfer between the pier and hotel are included.
All Silver Shore tours are available for guests to prebook online as early as 120 days prior to sailing. Silver Shore Land Adventures and hotel options can also be reserved as add-ons to the cruise vacation by calling the dedicated phone line 1-800-968-9518, or by e-mailing concierge@silversea.com to request assistance in making individual arrangements.
