Watch the America’s Cup up close and personal
Travellers can explore the Mediterranean this summer aboard the four award-winning ships of Silversea, the highlights of which are front-row seats for America’s Cup and access to the artistic treasures in Northern Italy
Silversea’s guests can experience the 32nd America’s Cup regatta when Silver Whisper drops anchor in the Mediterranean harbour of Valencia. This 8-day voyage from Barcelona to Barcelona departs on June 22, 2007. All-inclusive, cruise-only fares start from £4,070 per person, including all port charges, government fees, taxes and special event fees, and a 10% Early Booking Incentive.
The ship will anchor alongside yachts in Portofino and Monte Carlo’s harbors or traverse the Aegean and into the Black Sea by way of the Dardanelles, giving the small ship the freedom to visit the less-travelled destinations.
On culinary arts sailings, guest chefs display their exceptional talents during informative and entertaining cooking demonstrations. Guests can taste and learn firsthand the secrets of enticing signature dishes created by award-winning international chefs. Sample cruises include:
Silver Whisper’s 7-day “Realms of Myth and Legend” cruise from Athens to Venice, 3rd to 10th August 2007 (Voyage 4727). Guest Chef: Gale Gand, Tru, Chicago, Illinois. Early Booking Incentive fares start at £3,316 per person.
