Silversea Advocates is Silversea’s agent reward and recognition programme. Every month, the Silversea Sales Team nominates an individual who has gone above and beyond to support Silversea. Whether it is sales performance, a marketing promotion or event, or you are a patron of Silversea, there are many reasons you could be nominated. Each agent nominated receives 100 Silversea Agent Rewards points, which equates to £100 worth of vouchers, and a plaque recognising them as a Silversea Advocate. And in early 2025, all our Advocates will be invited to a prestigious event where one agent will be awarded a suite for two on a Silversea voyage.

This month, we catch up with Hannah Vincent, from Select World Travel, who became a Silversea Advocate in August.
Why did you win last month’s Silversea Advocate Award? I won for going above and beyond with my social media content while on board Silver Ray and continuing to do so after.

I believe this really brings the product to life and is more personable, so helps with sales.

You recently returned from a sailing on Silver Ray, the latest Nova Class ship – what did you think of it? It’s elegant, spacious and luxurious. I really enjoyed the feel of this class. My favourite new dining area is the Marquee Grill. It’s a beautiful restaurant with an alfresco concept.

While on board, you were invited to experience both the S.A.L.T. Chef’s Table and the S.A.L.T. Lab Class, which are part of Silversea’s immersive culinary programme.
