First Class Journey
With Silversea Cruises it's first class all the way!
Even a Bloody Mary for the flight makes for happy travelers.
Look out LA, they're heading your way!!

A good night's sleep?
Some people are more jittery than others about flying, but for me the hassle of getting to the airport on time and making sure you didn't forget anything is much more stressful.
Luckily for Bev, her luggage had proceeded her to the ship taking off on its own flight the day after Christmas. Too bad Bob only got to take a carry-on....just kidding!
And imagine just getting up in the morning, having breakfast served, and then walking out of your hotel lobby into the terminal without even getting wind-blown or seeing a bus or automobile?
Looks like the Hyatt Regency Orlando International still has it's holiday decor along with the Florida palms!

Bon Voyage at Village of MacClenny
Never one to miss her regular girl's day golf outing, Bev was on the course before sharing a last post-golf champagne toast with some of the MacClenny gals.
Wish we were ALL going with you!

Interesting Speakers and Land Adventures
Here's the line-up of guest lecturers and speakers for the World Cruise 2015.
Click here for the profiles and tour segments > Twelve Renown Guest Speakers on your cruise.
While you're in the Area, you may as well choose one of these 17 short land trips:
Click here for the descriptions > Land adventures along the way These are 1-5 night land-stay trips. You'll rejoin the ship at the next destination. Prices are to be sent to me for our review. These adventures require a minimum number of participates to operate. Once made, reservations are non-refundable if cancelled within 90 days of the voyage.
* Reservations begin 7 October for the Over Water stay in French Polynesia.
* There are two Australian adventures with a decision date of 1 November.
* The Bali to Java escapade requires reservations by 14 November.
* There are two Vietnam and two Thailand adventures with decision dates of 25 November.
* Another Thailand departure leaves for the Taj Mahal and Jaipur. Even though it sounds enticing, please note this journey is 4 nights each in 4 different hotels, and drives as long as 3-3.5 hours utilizing local transportation, plus inter-country flights of 1.5 and 4.5 hours. Reservations required by 6 December.
* There are 4 adventures in Kenya, so you will want to review the safaris. Reservations close on 6 December.
* Finally, there are 4 South Africa adventures with reservations required by 23 December.
First Safari:
Look closely at the 1 night Phinda Private Game Reserve with luxury stay at Forest Lodge. There are 16 glass-enclosed separate guest suites. Here is the main lobby.
This is a Forest Lodge suite:
Second Choice: The 2 day Pumba Private Reserve safari begins with a 3 hour drive to the Safari Lodge. Both nights' accommodations are at the Pumba Water Lodge. At the journey's end, you travel 2 hours to the airport at Port Elizabeth, take an 80 minute flight then a one hour drive to rejoin the ship near Cape Town.
Pumba Water Lodge
Third Choice for South Africa:
This is the Escape to Etosha adventure in Namibia (you know the country where Brad & Angelina stay) which departs from Cape Town by a 2 hour private charter and stays 2 nights/3 days at the Onguma Safari Camp, aka The Fort due to the architecture style. Return to meet the ship is also a charter flight.
4th Choice: Gorillas in South Africa is the final offering. It is a longer land getaway at 6 days/5 nights beginning with a flight from Cape Town to Entebbe via Johannesburg. The first and last nights are spent at the Lake Victoria Serena Resort, with the middle 3 nights at Sanctuary Gorilla Forest Camp in a luxury tent with en suite bath.
Over half of the 600 mountain gorillas are found here and this could be an incredible experience if you select this adventure. Two flights with a change of planes met by a Silversea representative to assist you return you to the ship.

Guests for dinner?
On this adventure once the gorillas are located, you are allowed to spend one hour with them before departing. The time for the guide to locate the group can vary from 1-9 hours, so it could be a long 2 days.

Wondering What to do During those first Seven Days at Sea?
Oh my, could this be The Villages on the ocean?
Here's what Silversea has in store for you!
Ahh … those heavenly days at sea, when time, at last, is finally on your side. Especially when there are so many stimulating activities to discover on board your all inclusive cruise.
Silversea offers an enrichment programme of the highest calibre. There are wine tastings and cooking demonstrations so that you can savour the flavours of the lands you visit. Take a dance class. Sit in on a lecture by an eminent guest speaker. Watch a wine video customised for your destination. Or devote your time to more active pursuits — jogging, swimming or an exercise class at the Fitness Centre. Or perhaps you prefer shopping in the boutique, indulging in a massage, or soaking in a warm whirlpool. On board Silversea all inclusive cruises, the choices are many and they’re all yours.

An Ocean Of Options
The ocean views and soothing sound of the surf can be quite intoxicating at sea, so it’s not surprising that daydreaming on deck is one of the most popular pastimes. However, every Silversea all inclusive cruise also includes a considerable number of more active pursuits — some for the body, some for the mind … and some just for fun.
