PORT ST. MAARTEN:--- Silversea Cruises, another boutique cruise luxury cruise line, returns to the destination with Silver Wind on Thursday, January 11 during the evening hours and staying until January 12. Port St. Maarten Management welcomes the commitment by Silversea Cruises to the destination and welcomes its return since the September 2017 hurricanes.
Silver Wind, a small sized-ship has a passenger capacity of 296, and a crew complement of 222. The vessel received a refurbishment in 2017.
Since its inception in the early 90s, Silversea Cruises has been recognized as the gold standard in luxury cruising, acclaimed both for its legendary European lifestyle and global reach of destinations. The cruise line was the brainchild of Antonio Lefebvre d’Ovidio, a respected Italian jurist and maritime law professor.
His idea was to create a new class of elite vessels designed with more space for fewer guests and with the highest levels of personalized service. Lefebvre’s maritime background led to his involvement in shipping and eventually the cruise industry.
Today, Silversea Cruises owns and operates eight luxury cruise ships from 100 to 540 guests, along with a global portfolio of itineraries to all seven continents and over 900 destinations worldwide. The cruise line’s headquarters are based in Monaco, and the company maintains branch offices in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, and Australia.
With the debut of luxury cruise ship Silver Explorer in 2008, Silversea introduced expedition cruising — Silversea style, adding yet another unique niche in the luxury cruise market. Now more intrepid travelers could experience adventurous voyages to the most remote regions of the planet while enjoying Silversea’s brand of signature distinctions, including ocean-view suites, a superb culinary experience, and an incomparable level of service with a crew to guest ratio of nearly one to one.
Along with both polar extremes, Silversea’s three expedition ships sail to the islands of Oceania, Southeast Asia, the Russian Far East, Australia’s remote Kimberley Coast, Central and South America (including the Galápagos Islands), and the exotic western coast of Africa.
