SILVERSEA REVEALS THE AWESOME BEAUTY OF ALASKA ON ELEVEN LUXURIOUS
VOYAGES IN 2006

Highlights Include Specially Tailored Pre- and Post-Cruise Land
Extensions and Cruise Savings of up to 40%

Ft. Lauderdale, FL November 30, 2005
Next summer Silversea Cruises is offering the well-heeled,
sophisticated traveler eleven opportunities to explore the unspoiled
beauty of Alaska from the comfort and incomparable luxury of its
all-suite, 382-guest Silver Shadow, the only ultra-luxury cruise ship
scheduled to call in Alaska in 2006. From the beauty of snowcapped
volcanoes and ice-blue glaciers, to the rugged grandeur of Misty
Fjords, the privileged guests of Silversea will explore one of the
world's last great untamed frontiers, as they sail in the pampering
luxury of their intimate, six-star ship on voyages ranging from nine
to 14 days.

"Designed to provide a truly exceptional travel experience, our Silver
Shadow is the perfect option for the discerning world traveler who
wants to be pampered in luxury and comfort while exploring Alaska's
spectacular scenery," said David Morris, Silversea's senior vice
president of sales for North America. "There are a number of
mainstream mega-ships calling in Alaska next year, but only Silversea
offers an exclusive alternative for the affluent consumer seeking an
award-winning, all-inclusive and intimate shipboard experience."

In addition to savings of up to 40%, guests will enjoy spacious,
all-suite, ocean-view accommodations, most with private veranda,
award-winning gourmet cuisine, personalized service, warm Italian
hospitality, and Silversea's unmatched selection of all-inclusive
shipboard amenities, including complimentary beverages, wines and
spirits served throughout the ship, 24-hour room service, stocked
in-suite beverage cabinet and all gratuities. Plus, complimentary
Butler Service is now available in the Grand, Royal, Rossellini and
Owner's Suites.

Silversea guests can extend their Alaska voyage with optional pre- and
post-cruise land programs featuring deluxe accommodations, all
transportation, transfers, guided sightseeing and some meals. Prices
start from $1,395 per guest. Highlights include:

** From Tokyo, the four-night "Imperial Japan" program offers an
in-depth exploration of Kyoto, famous for its more than 2,000 temples,
shrines, palaces and gardens. Visit Nijo Castle, with its floors that
squeak like nightingales, Kinkakuji Temple, brilliantly covered in
gold leaf, and the treasures of Kyoto National Museum.

** From San Francisco, "A Taste of Napa Valley" offers a three-night
exploration of one of the world's premier wine regions. Sample superb
vintages from such established cellars as St. Supery Vineyard and
Winery, Jarvis Winery, Neibaum-Coppola winery and Domaine Chandon.
Enjoy a gourmet dinner at the Relais & Châteaux Auberge du Soleil
restaurant.

** From Anchorage, the three-night "Denali -- Nature at Her Grandest"
program features a journey to Denali by luxury rail, crossing the
magnificent vista of Hurricane Gulch. Denali National Park, one of the
world's greatest wildlife sanctuaries, offers the chance to spot
grizzly bears, caribou, moose and wolves. The park rests under the
shadow of spectacular Mount McKinley, North America's highest
mountain.

** Also from Anchorage, the six-night "Land of the Midnight Sun"
offers the ultimate Alaskan experience, combining the grandeur of
Denali National Park with a journey of over 300 miles above the Arctic
Circle to Barrow, the largest Eskimo settlement in Alaska. Here in the
land of the midnight sun, stand on the northernmost tip of the
continent, encounter the unique traditional lifestyle of the Eskimo
and explore the white wilderness of the tundra, where you may spot a
polar bear. The program includes a scenic riverboat adventure from
Fairbanks.

** From Vancouver or Calgary, "The Majestic Canadian Rockies" four- or
five-night program explores the breathtaking peaks and valleys of the
Canadian Rockies from the comfort of your railcar. Enjoy two nights in
Banff visiting its many attractions, including the Columbia Ice Fields
and the Banff and Jasper National parks. Join the Rocky Mountaineer
for a two-day journey by rail through the snow-capped Canadian
Rockies, past the Continental Divide, the Spiral Tunnels and Kicking
Horse Canyon to Kamloops for an overnight stay. Continue your rail
adventure past the Cascades, lush Fraser River Valley and Hell's Gate,
then on to Vancouver and the Pacific Ocean.

Silversea Cruises is recognized as an innovator in the luxury segment,
offering guests large-ship amenities aboard four intimate vessels,
Silver Cloud, Silver Wind, Silver Shadow, and Silver Whisper, all
designed to offer an atmosphere of conviviality and casual elegance.
