SILVERSEA UNVEILS 2012 VOYAGE ATLAS


Silversea has unveiled its new full-colour, 200-page 2012 Voyage Atlas. The visually captivating picture-book details over 200 itineraries exploring seven continents, over 100 countries, and more than 450 destinations.

The 2012 Voyage Atlas opens with an easy-to-read, voyage-by-voyage summary followed by a section revealing the hallmarks of Silversea's unique luxury lifestyle. The balance of the brochure provides detailed worldwide cruise itineraries by region, including highlights of shore excursions, descriptions of land programs, deck plans and general information.

New for 2012 is a pricing summary booklet inserted into the back cover pocket.

Plus, for the first time, the brochure features a Microsoft Tag 2D bar code on its back cover that enables smartphone users to view The World of Silversea, the company's exciting new video that invites travellers to step aboard and experience the award-winning luxury and pampering ambiance of Silversea.

"We're delighted to be able to offer travellers an engaging interactive experience by incorporating the latest mobile tagging technology in our new brochure," said Karen Christensen, Silversea's director of sales and marketing and general manager for Australia and New Zealand.

"Not only will you be able to read about the rewards of an all-inclusive, ultra-luxury cruise holiday, but by accessing our new video from your mobile phone, you will get to see the experience come to life."
