The ultra-luxurious cruise line Silversea Cruises is introducing the New Year with an enticing new collection of 11 Wine Series voyages for 2009. Each wine themed cruise will offer the discerning travelers with a passion for fine wines the chance to sample great vintages and to learn about the tradition and art of winemaking with special lectures hosted by wine professionals, vineyard owners, winemakers and other epicurean specialists. On many of the Silversea Cruises voyages guests will also get the opportunity to explore some of the world’s most celebrated wine regions with guided shore excursions.
Famous contributors include California's Justin and Wente wineries, Italy's Castello Banfi and Chile's Santa Alicia Winery, to name a few. Of special note is the participation of Salvatore Ferragamo, grandson of the Italian fashion visionary. Renowned for their signature handbags and footwear, the Ferragamo family also owns Il Borro, an acclaimed wine-producing estate in Tuscany. Ferragamo is set to host Silver Wind's July 6 wine-themed sailing from Lisbon to Monte Carlo.
"Our Wine Series cruises are a great way for guests to broaden their understanding and appreciation for one of life's most cherished luxuries – fine wine," said David Morris, Silversea Cruise's executive vice president of worldwide sales and marketing. "We've invited top experts from some of the world's most acclaimed vineyards and wineries to visit and interact with our guests, guiding them through entertaining tastings and lectures that add a unique and enriching dimension to their cruise experience."
