Silversea Announces Its New Expedition Ship to be Named HSH Prince Albert II

Silversea Cruises has announced its new expedition ship (originally acquired as World Discoverer II) will be renamed HSH Prince Albert II, in tribute to Prince Albert of Monaco. Silversea acquired the ship last year, and she has been undergoing a significant refurbishment. After the ship's refit, the ice-class vessel will carry just 132 guests in 66 ocean-view accommodations, many featuring private verandas.

Silversea's expedition ship will set sail June 12 from London on an Inaugural Season of voyages of 10 to 21 days focusing on polar adventures. Sailing first to the Arctic Circle, Svalbard, Iceland and Greenland for the summer, the ship will then reposition to South America and Antarctica for autumn and winter voyages. From mid-August to November 2008, HSH Prince Albert II will journey from the east coast of North America through the Panama Canal to Los Angeles before heading south to Ushuaia. Pricing starts at $3,867, per person, double occupancy, and includes shore excursions as well as Silversea's all-inclusive amenities.
