Lauderdale, FL - (August 22, 2000) - The ballots have been counted, the praises have been recognized, and the readers have declared Silversea Cruises the "World's Best Small Cruise Line." After being surveyed on their opinions about food, accommodations, activities, destinations, and value, the readers of Travel & Leisure have awarded the ultra-luxury line the highest score among all 15 cruise lines included in the survey, large and small. According to President and C.O.O. Bill Smith, "Silversea guests are discerning travelers who enjoy unique vacation experiences and look for impeccable service. To know that they consider our staff and crew to be the best in the industry is an incredible honor. We will continue to dedicate ourselves to providing our guests with the attention to detail that has earned Silversea the distinction as the number one cruise line." Heralded internationally as one of the best travel experiences in the world, Silversea welcomes travelers into an ambiance of refined elegance and sophisticated comfort. Aboard sister ships Silver Cloud and Silver Wind, the tangibles of ultra-luxury travel ñ Christofle silverware, Frette bed linens, Bvlgari bath features and MoÎt & Chandon champagne ñ are subtly blended with an intangible at-your-service atmosphere that caters to satisfying a guestís every desire, 24-hours a day. The line is further distinguished by its all-inclusive fares, by far the most comprehensive in the industry, which feature all ocean-view suite accommodations (most with private veranda); round trip air transportation with upgrades to First and Business Class available; deluxe pre-cruise hotel accommodations; all beverages, including wine, spirits and champagne; all gratuities; all port charges; all transfers and porterage; and the Silversea Experience, a special shoreside event on select itineraries.

Approximately 28,000 grt and accommodating a mere 388 guests, Silver Shadow and Silver Whisper, set to debut in July 2001, are the smallest ultra-luxury ships currently under construction. A deliberate decision was made to keep the ships small to maintain the continuity of the lineís award-winning fleet. The unique size of Silversea's sleek vessels enables them to navigate some of the world's more exclusive and intimate waterways, while their ocean-view suites and private verandas offer guests spectacular views of exotic destinations. The line's imaginative itineraries to all corners of the globe include voyages to the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, Africa and India, the Far East, Australia and New Zealand, South America, the Maritimes of Canada and New England and America's colonial coast.
