Exciting Expeditions October 01, 2008 Silversea Cruises introduces French Polynesia itineraries for new vessel
By Jeanie Casison
Exploring the high seas instills tremendous fascination in many incentive travelers. Silversea Cruises is inspiring even more individuals to discover new destinations aboard its latest luxury expedition vessel, the Prince Albert II. The Fort Lauderdale, Florida-based company recently announced that the regal ship will spend a large duration of 2009 in the waters surrounding French Polynesia.
"The ship is ideal for a full charter at 66 suites, which is just over 130 guests. It is a perfect size for a corporation to take exclusively for themselves, coupled with the fact that it is in French Polynesia most of the year, which is a destination that has long had great appeal for corporations in North America, Asia and Australia," says Sean J. Mahoney, vice president of worldwide charter and incentive sales for Silversea Cruises.
While all itineraries stray from a definitive structure, passengers of the Prince Albert II will get to visit the less traveled regions of the Austral Islands, the Tuamoto Archipelago and the Marquesas Islands. The vessel features ocean view suites, all-inclusive amenities and a fleet of eight Zodiac boats that are ideal for impromptu excursions.
