Dubai, visit India and exotic Oman, slip into the seductive Seychelles
and trace Africa�s coastline from Mombasa to Cape Town to Morocco.

cruise fill the idyllic days of spring and summer, followed by two
more cruises to the Holy Land and an encore of Arabian ports and
Seychelles islands to close out the year.
SILVER SHADOW
As the 382-guest Silver Shadow opens the year with explorations of
Oceania, spectacular New Zealand fjords and a first-ever, 30-day

cruises fill the entire summer season before a return to China, Japan
and Vietnam. Popular holiday sailings in Australia and New Zealand are
again on the calendar for 2011.
SILVER WHISPER
Aboard the 382-guest Silver Whisper, 2011 arrives in the majestic
Chilean fjords, setting the tone for a year of spectacular experiences
in South America, the Caribbean and Northern Europe. Fulfilling the
requests of Silversea's valued guests, itineraries include three days
in St. Petersburg, Norwegian fjord cruising, and fall foliage season
in Canada and New England. The year concludes as it began with
