Silversea Surveying Their Fans

If you're on Silversea's email list, you probably received a request recently to take a survey. If you haven't yet clicked on the link, do so. There are only seven questions and the survey will take just a minute to complete.

I tend to participate in these types of feedback requests because it's always interesting to find out what the cruise lines have on their minds. Question #2 in the Silversea survey was particularly thought-provoking:

2. Which offer would you most likely book for a 7-day Mediterranean cruise?
  • All-Inclusive - Brochure Fare $14,498 - Now Special 2-for-1 plus Free Air, Free Unlimited Shore Excursions, and Free One Night Luxury Hotel (estimated value $1,800) for $6,299 per person

  • All-Inclusive - Brochure Fare $13,095 - Now Special 60% off plus - Free Air (value $900), and a $500 per person shipboard credit offer $5,238 per person

It makes me think that Silversea may be entertaining the idea of going the way of Regent Seven Seas Cruises in offering complimentary shore excursions. Generally speaking, I'm not so wild about included land tours since we prefer planning our own days ashore. However, this option is ideal for many travelers. It will be interesting to see if these survey questions hint at things to come for Silversea.
