Silversea brings back 'Silver Select' choice of three savings

For ocean voyages, the promotion offers $1,500 per suite in on-board spending credit or a two-category upgrade or 50% off the price of a second suite. For expeditions, travelers can get a two-category suite upgrade or 50% off the second suite fare.

'For today's traveler, it's all about choice,' said Mark Conroy, Silversea's managing director for the Americas.

'You might treat yourself to a larger suite, or indulge in personal pampering at the on-board spa. Plus, the option of a second suite at 50% off provides incomparable savings and the opportunity to invite family and friends to vacation with you, almost anywhere in the world, sharing in the extraordinary benefit of a separate suite at half price,' he added.
