Silversea Cruises' Prince Albert II Expedition Ship Sails on Maiden Voyage from London

Earlier this week, Silversea Cruises' new expedition ship the Prince Albert II sailed under Tower Bridge on her maiden voyage from London. The Prince Albert II welcomed her first guests yesterday, as she set sail from London to embark upon an Inaugural Season of voyages of 10 to 22 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.

Sometimes the cabins on expedition ships are not as large or luxurious as other cruise ships. However, the Prince Albert II boasts the largest average size accommodations of any expedition ship. All 66 ocean-view accommodations feature luxurious living space and private marble bathrooms with bathtubs. Some suites even offer double private French balconies or large private verandas, and additional elite amenities including butler service. Doesn't sound like cruisers with be "roughing it" on the Prince Albert II!
