LUXURY CRUISING ON SEABOURN, SILVERSEA AND
RADISSON SEVEN SEAS
We’ve all seen the ad. An elegant waiter wades through crystal clear water and
delivers caviar to a lucky woman lounging on a float. Here’s a little known
secret. That woman could be you. And for less money than you’re paying for a
contemporary cruise now.
If you’re tired of being “nickel and dimed” to death, which seems to be the
norm on most cruises today, consider a luxury cruise where everything is
included in the fare. No more $3 a bottle for water, $6 for wine and mixed
drinks, $25 and up for reservations in the “specialty restaurant”, extra fees for
exercise classes, etc. These charges can total several hundred dollars,
resulting in shock upon receipt of the final bill.
LUXURY CRUISING
When considering a luxury cruise, look at the value and costs of all of the
extras included in the cruise rate. Add them up and luxury cruises are an
excellent value. The following three luxury cruise lines, Seabourn, Silversea
and Radisson Seven Seas, are where you’ll find the most for your money.
Each line is unique, but all three offer the following complimentary amenities:
personal bar setup upon embarkation with bottles of your favorite wine and
premium spirits, designer soaps and toiletries, daily newspaper, daily fruit
basket, robes and slippers, Italian linens, twice daily suite service, all non-
alcoholic beverages, fine wine with dinner, open seating at all restaurants,
gourmet meals to rival any 5-star land-based restaurants and all gratuities.
SEABOURN CRUISE LINE
Seabourn’s 208-passenger all-suite cruise ships visit unique ports that are
inaccessible to larger ships. The rooms with private balconies or 5-foot-wide
picture windows measure a large 277-575 feet or more. On Seabourn, fine
wine is included for lunch and Heidsieck champagne flows freely throughout
the day.
Seabourn also offers a complimentary shore excursion on every cruise. Often
the cruise highlight, the shore excursion might include the famous “caviar in
the surf” and silver service beach barbeque, a gala dinner at St. Peterburg’s
Yusopov Palace, or a tropical garden party in Nevis. Free wine tastings are
offered on sea days by the wine sommelier. Guests lounging on-deck receive
complimentary mini-massages, frozen towels and fresh fruit sorbets.
