Silversea introduces three new categories of all-inclusive fares
Silversea has unveiled three new types of all-inclusive fare. The new categories are the All-
Inclusive Plus Fare, All-Inclusive Fare and Last-Minute Fare. The All-Inclusive Plus Fare
offers a fully refundable deposit in addition to an excursion credit. The All-Inclusive Fare is
available only for ocean voyages and requires a non-refundable deposit. It allows passengers to purchase excursions either before the cruise or while on board. The Last-Minute Fare is
available for selected ocean and expedition voyages within five months of departure, and provides “favourable savings”. The deposit is non-refundable and the total payment must be paid in full at the time of booking. Silversea’s all-inclusive
onboard offering will remain the same on ocean and expedition ships, regardless of a passenger’s chosen fare.
