Silversea issued a press release on June 24, as well as an email sent from Fernando. The email Camillus112 references today is just a repeat of the exact same email Fernando sent in June. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herman The Cat Posted August 24, 2021 #8 Share Posted August 24, 2021 It always seems these cruises are in shoulder season — which is difficult to sell. Sometimes interesting ports, sometimes not. It’s just labeled Venetian Society sailings to market it. Probably another email today because it’s not selling… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emtbsam Posted August 25, 2021 #9 Share Posted August 25, 2021 On a Venetian Society cruise several years ago, Andrea Bocelli gave a concert on aboard followed by a very special dinner where they served Tignianello as the free pour. It was lovely. we are considering the 2022 VS cruise on the Shadow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, these are not the standard “Venetian Society” sailings, but rather two special “Reunion” voyages. We’re very interested in the BCN to LIS sailing based on what Emtbsam said.

AtMaui Posted August 26, 2021 #11 Share Posted August 26, 2021 A friend and I booked this cruise after we got the first email from Fernando. Even tho we've been to all the ports, it sounded like it would be special. And we'll spend a couple of nights in Lisbon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseej Posted August 26, 2021 #12 Share Posted August 26, 2021 So these are "special" cruises, but there's no advance information about what will make them special? They are described as having "an array of benefits, one-of-a-kind events, and exclusive experiences ashore" and "exclusive receptions and once-in-a-lifetime events". It sounds nice, but it's so vague that it's hard to know what is marketing hype ends and what is truly unique about of these voyages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As time moves on, details are firmed up and announced in order to sell remaining suites at much, much higher per diems. As Emtbsam said, on their VS reunion voyage Andrea Bocelli performed on board. I remember his performance was announced a few months in advance, not when the reunion voyage was released for sale. And, to think the Super Tuscan Tignanello was the free pour is just mind boggling. So, maybe this Spanish reunion voyage will include Placido Domingo and Ferran Adrià. Who knows? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm booked I paid final payment today for the Mediterranean 7 night ... Enjoyed a reunion cruise ( last one before UK lockdown) sept 2019 on silver spirit and had a fabulous time ..also it was our 100 day plus so got the certificate & free laundry yep hee ...😊 There were lots of goodies delivered to the suite. Throughout the trip ... It was great to see so many guests with 1000 of days and the mix of passenger base was very interesting... It had a little upbeat vibe the panaroma Lounge was good fun most nights ( if you like that sort of thing) I do !! it will be fun 🚢 look forward to meeting new friends 🍹 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camillus112 Posted August 26, 2021 #15 Share Posted August 26, 2021 As I said, I have bookmarked this "Spanish" cruise, although I will probably be paying through my nose, since I will have to wait to book. My last cruise was on Regent, ending early March 2020. My DH is overly cautious, and I just want to rush in...not only fools do that...So excited!!

Emtbsam Posted August 28, 2021 #16 Share Posted August 28, 2021 We are actually considering the Asian one and extending it to the 28 day voyage they have advertised. The one in the Med is too short for us and the b2b cruises aren’t what we want. Of course by then we might be so anxious to get back on SSea that we would go anywhere. one day at a time while we see how Bob’s recovery progresses. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
