Silversea CruisesSilversea Cruise Line is the ultimate in Luxury Cruise LinesSilversea is a cruise company reflecting generations of maritime and travel experience. In the early 1990s, the Lefebvre family of Rome, former owners of Sitmar Cruises, conceived and organized a unique cruise company pledging to build and operate the highest quality ships in the ultra-luxury segment. The name "Silversea" was chosen because it connotes quality and luxury as well as capturing the romance and special sensations of the sea. Silversea Cruise Line launched its first ship, Silver Cloud in 1994, followed by Silver Wind in 1995, Silver Shadow in 2000 and the newest ship Silver Whisper in 2001. The fleet was purpose-built for the ultra-luxury market, establishing a new class of smaller, intimate vessels that could slip into more exotic ports off the beaten path. These elite vessels were specifically designed for fewer guests, more space and the highest levels of personalized service, delivered by Italian officers and European staff. All-ocean view suites, most with private veranda, and open seating dining options so guests dine when, where and with whom they desire, add to the very special ambiance created onboard. But what is also unique is that they incorporate the favorite amenities found on larger ships, such as an elaborate show lounge featuring nightly entertainment, casino, spa and state-of-the-art fitness facility. As an innovator in the ultra-luxury segment, Silversea quickly became the favorite among modern affluent travelers with its all-inclusive pricing, and unmatched onboard product enhanced by partnerships with the world's most respected luxury brands – Acqua di Parma, Davidoff, Loro Piana, Relais & Châteaux and Viking Range. Today, Silversea Cruise Line is recognized as the defining elite luxury experience and is regularly lauded by leading consumer and trade publications. The list of accolades constantly grows: Silversea has been voted "World's Best" by the readers of Condé Nast Traveler eight times (1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, and 2004), and the readers of Travel & Leisure consider Silversea to be the very best small ship cruise line as well (1997, 1998, 2000, 2002, 2003 and 2004). Silversea was rated The Best Cruise Company by the Telegraph Travel Awards, U.K., (2000, 2001 and 2003). And the line's exceptional product has consistently garnered the highest possible accolades from leading guide books including: Six Stars, Fielding's Guide to Worldwide Cruises (1996 – 1999) and Six-plus Ribbons, awarded by Stern's Cruise Guide for nine consecutive editions (1997 – 2005). Taking the company into the future is Albert Peter, Silversea's Chief Executive Officer. Since taking the leadership reins in June 2001, Mr. Peter has steered the company to a steady course of high customer satisfaction, financial stability and new product innovation. Shortly after his arrival at Silversea, Mr. Peter rolled out a number of new initiatives and programs tailored to the most discriminating world traveler seeking highly personalized and enriching experiences. Looking toward the future, Mr. Peter remains squarely focused on delivering the highest rated elite luxury experience for guests while also ensuring successful financial results for the company’s private shareholders.
