Featured Cruise Line: Silversea Cruises
|
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: Pan America
|
Windstar Cruises calls the Central America and Costa Rica area, " A small jewel, where nature is the show . . . blessed with more butterflies and birds than most continents . . . where dolphins and turtles swim in startlingly clear seas." Whether you're in search of adventure in a tropical rainforest, or are looking for an endless supply of surf and fun, Central America cruising has become an ideal cruise destination. It's an area that offers a wealth of diversity as a nature lover's paradise where it's easy to find as much action or relaxation as one could want. You can hike through a jungle, climb a volcano, lounge on a pristine white sand beach, or seek adventure in a natural paradise - from scuba diving, snorkeling, whitewater rafting, and bird-watching. Most of the time, ships stop in Central American ports as part of a Panama Canal or Western Caribbean Itinerary; however, there a few cruises that are exclusive to Central America and Costa Rica. more
