Silversea has released a brochure dedicated to its range of 2013 Africa voyages aboard the luxurious 296-guest Silver Wind.
With six voyages of 10-18 days departing in January, February and December 2013, fares start from AU$4,899 per person, double occupancy for a 10 day round-trip voyage from Cape Town in January 2013, taking in highlights of South Africa, as well as Maputo, Mozambique.
Also on offer are 18 day sailings in February and December 2013 between Las Palmas in the Canary Islands and Cape Town, covering Africa’s spectacular and little known west coast, with calls in Cape Verde, Senegal, Ghana and Namibia. Fares start from AU$5,899 per person, double occupancy.
Karen Christensen, General Manager and Director Sales and Marketing Australasia for Silversea, commented: “We are seeing a growing demand for luxury cruises to more off-the-beaten-track destinations such as Africa, especially amongst seasoned travellers who have already explored popular destinations like the Mediterranean and south-east Asia.”
“With its stunning landscapes, rugged coastline and unparalleled wildlife, Africa is hugely appealing and these cruises will sell fast. Advance bookings are essential.”
Guests on these African voyages can enhance their experience by taking part in a mid-voyage Land Adventure departing from Richards Bay, South Africa to Phinda Private Game Reserve, featuring Africa’s Big Five and more than 415 bird species.
Silversea’s fares include all-suite accommodation with butler service; gourmet meals with menus designed by Relais & Châteaux; complimentary wines, Champagne and spirits served throughout the ship, and all gratuities.
