The company's managing directors of the UK & Ireland and of the Americas, respectively, will preside at events during the Dec. 10 Caribbean cruise.

Fresh from 'Musification'

Inspired by the look of Silversea’s flagship Silver Muse, Silver Shadow’s extensive renovation includes the creation of a new Atrium area on Deck 5, which will house the Arts Café, and major enhancements to many public spaces.

These include the remodeling and enlarging of La Dame restaurant, extensive renovation of cigars and cognac venue Connoisseur's Corner and a remodeling of the Observation Library. The suites will also be refurbished with the design and color palette of those on Silver Muse.

'I am delighted to be joining Peter on board this one-off sailing to spend time with our guests and witness them experiencing this elegant ship first-hand,' Conroy said.

'There really is no better way to enjoy Silver Shadow than in the warm waters of the Caribbean. Our knowledgeable shore experience team will ensure our guests can make the most of their time on these incredible islands and we look forward to welcoming them back on board to hear all about their experiences,' Shanks added.

The nine-night cruise sails from San Juan to Fort Lauderdale, calling at Basseterre (St. Kitts), Roseau (Dominica), St. George’s (Grenada), Castries (St. Lucia), St. John’s (Antigua) and St. John (US Virgin Islands).

Early booking offers

Fares start at $4,200 per person, including round-trip economy class air (as with all Silversea Caribbean voyages). Travelers who book and pay before Aug. 30 will get a one-category suite upgrade and $1,000 shipboard credit per suite. Plus, those who book by July 31 get a free shore excursion at each port, and Venetian Society members (Silversea loyalists) can save 10%.
