SILVERSEA ENHANCES 2005 SCHEDULE WITH DISTINCTIVE
COLLECTION OF NINE “SILVER ODYSSEY” CRUISES

Silver Shadow to Sail from San Diego to Venice
on Grand 100-Day Voyage to 60 Intriguing Cities

Generous Savings Incentives, Shipboard Credits, Private-Car Transfers
and Complimentary Business Class Air Upgrades Highlight Program

(Ft. Lauderdale, FL - May 26, 2004) Silversea Cruises today unveiled
its unique collection of nine Silver Odyssey cruises for 2005. On
January 12, 2005, the ultra-luxury 382-guest Silver Shadow departs San
Diego on a 100-day epic journey visiting 60 of the world’s most
exciting destinations in 20 countries before the adventure concludes
in Venice on April 22, 2005.

Highlighting the Silver Odyssey program are generous savings
incentives, shipboard credits, and private-car transfers.
Complimentary Business Class air upgrades are also available with
purchase of optional air and hotel program.

“This spectacular Silver Odyssey collection features the best of
Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Mediterranean, plus
new exotic destinations like Robinson Crusoe Island and Dakar,” said
David Morris, Silversea’s Senior Vice President, North America Sales.
The Silver Odyssey collection appeals to the different lifestyles and
time constraints of today's affluent travelers. It’s perfectly suited
to those guests who have the time and sense of adventure to go
exploring on a grand scale. It can also be enjoyed in smaller segments
and is ideal for guests who need greater flexibility and prefer to
customize their journey."

Added Morris, “Depending on the number of days reserved, our Silver
Odyssey guests will enjoy generous savings incentives and exclusive
services and amenities designed to create the ultimate luxury-travel
adventure - packed with exceptional opportunities for in-depth
cultural exploration and personal enrichment.”

Silver Shadow’s nine consecutive Silver Odyssey voyages begin on
January 12, 2005, as the all-suite, all-inclusive elite ship sails
south from San Diego, visiting ports along Mexico’s beautiful Costa de
Oro, before continuing on a course that will give guests a chance to
explore ancient Mayan ruins in Guatemala and witness the spectacular
scenery and unspoiled nature of Costa Rica.

After crossing the equator, Silver Shadow’s journey is highlighted
with calls in Callao (Lima), Peru, where guests can examine the
legendary ruins of Machu Picchu during an optional two-and-a-half-day
overland shore excursion, and the new port of Robinson Crusoe Island,
an isolated and pristine botanical paradise situated off the coast of
Chile, where Alexander Selkirk was marooned, providing the inspiration
for Daniel Defoe’s famous novel.

Silver Shadow will circumnavigate South America and transit the
Atlantic Ocean en route to West Africa’s Dakar, another brand-new port
for Silver Odyssey guests to discover. The ship then heads north to
wrap up its incredible journey cruising the aquamarine waters of the
Mediterranean and Adriatic seas, visiting some of the most popular and
exciting ports in Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Malta, Yugoslavia
and Croatia. Finally, Silver Shadow visits the romantic city of Venice
for two full days before guests disembark from their unforgettable
voyage on April 22, 2005
