Silversea introduces cruise-only Essential Fares

Luxury cruise line’s new pricing structure now offers three fare types

Last Updated

March 19, 2024

Silversea is now offering straight-out, cruise-only fares, expanding its pricing structure to three options. The ultra-luxury cruise line says the move provides guests with “varied preferences”.

Complementing its popular Door-to-Door all-inclusive fare, which provides guests with a seamless journey that starts and ends at their homes, Silversea has enhanced its Port-to-Port all-inclusive fare, which is now available on all voyages. Included in Silversea’s Fare Guarantee program, the Port-to-Port fare will henceforth be eligible for the same promotions and savings as the Door-to-Door fare.

Moreover, Silversea has introduced a new voyage-only Essential fare for time-pushed guests seeking experiential flexibility.

“We are delighted to offer our guests a broadened pricing structure to accommodate a more diverse array of preferences, providing the luxury of choice,” said Roberto Verdino, Silversea’s SVP of Revenue Management.

“We believe choice is at the heart of true luxury. Enjoying a more customised range of pricing options, guests can tailor their experience by opting for our Door-to-Door, Port-to-Port or Essential fare while still benefiting from the superlative service and the other hallmarks of luxury that they have come to expect from Silversea.”

The addition of the new Essential fare broadens Silversea’s pricing structure, which the brand refers to as ‘The Luxury of Choice.’ It provides Silversea’s discerning guests with the flexibility to book the experience that best suits their lifestyle, preferences, and priorities.

The three fares include:

  • Door-to-Door All-Inclusive Fare: Featuring a price guarantee, Silversea’s most popular fare option includes a seamless journey that starts and ends at guests’ homes. The Door-to-Door all-inclusive fare encompasses private executive transfers between home and airport, international flights with Business Class upgrades available at reduced rates, shore excursions, and more — making it one of the most competitive and comprehensive all-inclusive fares in the industry.
  • Port-to-Port All-Inclusive Fare: Introduced in December 2022, the Port-to-Port all-inclusive fare has been expanded to include all voyages and provides an ideal choice for those who prefer to make independent pre- and post-cruise travel arrangements but still want shore excursions included. As well as benefiting from the Fare Guarantee program, guests sailing on Silversea’s Port-to-Port fares will now be able to benefit from the same promotions and savings as those sailing on Door-to-Door fares.
  • Essential Fare: Silversea’s new value-rich, voyage-only fare option features all onboard inclusive amenities and services on a selection of soon-to-depart voyages, while offering guests the flexibility to arrange their own air, transfers, and shore experiences according to their schedule. With stricter terms and conditions, the time-sensitive Essential fare does not include shore excursions on ocean-going voyages, yet includes shore excursions, expedition gear, and charter flights when booked for expedition voyages.

All three unique fare options offer a comprehensive all-inclusive shipboard experience. Aboard Silversea’s ultra-luxury ships, guests benefit from such inclusions as butler service for every suite category; multiple restaurants serving diverse cuisine; an in-suite, 24-hour dining service; wines, spirits and beverages served throughout the ship; onboard gratuities; and unlimited, complimentary Wi-Fi.
