Silversea’s Top Three Summer Mediterranean Cruises

Vacation Planning

Big boat or small? While large ocean liners offer more facilities, amenities, services, and options, they can’t explore the tiny islands and rocky coastlines that smaller vessels can.

While that might not be an issue on long distance transoceanic voyages, it does make a difference when sailing through areas such as the Mediterranean, with its spectacular vistas.  

Wouldn’t you rather get up close and personal?

Silversea Cruises will offer a series of voyages through the Mediterranean aboard its luxury cruise liners in the summer of 2013. Passengers will be able to explore many locattions that simply cannot be reached by larger ships.  

“We are offering the best of Europe this summer,” says Steve Odell, President of Silversea for Europe and Asia-Pacific.

“With our Italian heritage, we are excited to show guests these destinations as only an insider can.”
