“We’re very excited about this acquisition, as it means we’ll be able to further tap that segment of the luxury travel market that is adventure driven,” said Manfredi Lefebvre, Silversea’s chairman.
According to Lefebvre, they have been looking into this for some time.
With the addition of World Discoverer, Silverseas’ current fleet increases to five ships and to six from 2009, and will enable them to offer a more-expansive cruise schedule that encompasses all seven continents.
After the planned refurbishment, World Discoverer will have the capacity to accommodate around 140 guests, in ocean-view staterooms, including Owner’s Suites, Grand Suites, and 12 yet-unnamed suites that will be similar to the line’s popular Silver Suites – offering a club-like ambiance that will deliver an expedition cruise experience consistent with Silversea’s award-winning luxury standards.
The ship will maintain the line’s reputation for intimate yet spacious ships. And the vessel’s crew of 106 will ensure the highest level of service with a crew-to-guest ratio that will equal or exceed that of Silver Cloud and Silver Wind ; therefore being among the highest in this niche market.
