Change of Plan For Silversea's Prince Albert II

Silversea Cruises have revealed a change of plan for the location of newest addition, Prince Albert II. It was originally scheduled to reposition from Antarctica to French Polynesia for 2009 spring and summer seasons, but will now sail back to the Arctic on 1^st June, and operating nine cruises there before sailing southwards. The 2008-09 and 2009-10 winter cruises will not change.

Silversea president and CEO Amerigo Perasso commented that, “I am confident her revised 2009 deployment will meet a great success given the overly positive response of our Arctic cruisers and the strong market demand for this type of product. With her ice-strengthened hull, Prince Albert II is quite naturally associated with polar sea ice regions, rather than other attractive, exotic destinations. Operating our vessel in close reach of our three leading markets (US, UK and Continental Europe) is all the more justified in the present economic conjuncture. “Sailing out of Hamburg, Arctic-bound, with a bilingual (English/German) expedition team underlines our commitment to our German-speaking clientele”.
