Venetian value club

[friedgard]

Has Silversea started this program? I just signed up, and am wondering if any upcomming cruises are available under this program.

[A Tucson Guy]

I signed up over a year ago and never got one email offer. I also emailed SS many times and finally received a response. They said that there have not been any offers in the past few months. Don't hold your breath. Has anybody else out there gotten any email offers regarding this?

[PBfromDC]

We received about 6 or so emails over the past year regarding these discounted cruises. No telling when they'll come or what cruises are being offered. They tend to be last minute and obviously SS is trying to fill the ships. Given this time of year when the ships are pretty full, it's not surprising they've not sent out any recently.

We do receive e-mails from time to time. Apparently, Silversea takes a while after you register before you become actually "on line". Give them at least a year! Hope this helps.

Dear friends:

 

Silversea is terrible at sending the Venetian Value offers via e-mail. However, if you call the reservations department 30 days or prior before a sailing date and specifically use the words "Venetian Value" -- the fares are indeed there and they are excellent.

 

This past Spring, I sailed the Silver Whisper transatlantic from San Juan to Las Palmas and paid $4,000 TOTAL -- as a SINGLE traveler (my wife was already in Barcelona and I was in the States on business) in a mid-ship verandah cabin. That was a fantastic deal for a single traveler on a 12 night cruise.

 

We also sailed on a Baltic cruise at the beginning of August (yes, folks, high season) for $2895 per person (this time my wife did join me), mid-ship verandah.

 

Don't trust the e-mails, but do call them and insist on the specific wording of the fare (Venetian Value).

 

Kind regards,

 

Gunther and Uta

Good info, CruisinGerman, & many thanks. The "catch," of course, is that many folks can't plan for a 12 night cruise within a 30 day window.

[friedgard]

Gunther: How long was the Baltic cruise? When did you go? We may have been on the same ship.

[meow!]

We got an e-mail from Silversea that one of their Sydney to Auckland 15 day voyage is at 64% discount, at around $3500 for late January. This sounds fantastic. However, we have been to those places before, and the prospect of sitting in economy for some 2 x 16 hours is not enticing, and business class is just out of reach. Any of you interested better grab the chance by calling Silversea directly. It is for registered Venetian club members "last minute rate" only. Hope this helps.

If you have signed up for the Venetian Values emails but are not receiving them, you might want to check your spam filter. These emails used to go into my bulk mail folder until I noticed and added the following address to my address book. The Venetian Value Club emails are sent from:

 

silversea@silversea-email.com

What is the Venetian Value Club and can any SS member join or is it for the higher tier members.

Anybody who has cruised on SS can sign up. They are really bad about sending out the emails. I signed my wife and myself up and only she gets an occasional email. Must be a message there.

Good morning all, home from the Cloud yesterday and miss the service and smiling faces already! We have recently received a few Venetian Value Club offerings, even for the one we just sailed on! Too bad we had already paid for it. Go to the website, access the Venetian Society section and sign up. It really is sporadic since the ships are fairly full.

[A Tucson Guy]

I'm going to guess that as the economy continues to tank, six months from now there will be more specials. Maui tourism is way down for the summer and this is high season. As airfares are killing Maui travel, it will eventually affect cruising and even some luxury cruise lines. It the economy.

Thanks lapeter! Where is the sign up? I did a search on their website and it came up blank.

Thanks Pat

Can you take advantage of these offers using a TA? Must you book directly with SS?

You can book these value cruises with your TA. I checked. You can also book with SS.

We are just off the cloud, first time with Silversea. What number are you referring to. Where might I find this number?

grrr - has anyone had one recently? I re-checked that I'm signed up and my spam filter lets EVERYTHING through (and I use my apple mac junkmail to sort it out for me) and I check and I've not seen one of these recently.

 

We're actively looking for a VV cruise right now, we can go at the drop of a hat, we're not great planners and the ships are in, or heading over to, Asia.
