FT. LAUDERDALE — Taking into account the unsettled situation in *******, Silversea Cruises has modified the itineraries for four Black Sea voyages originally scheduled to call in Yalta, Sevastopol, or Odessa this year.
Silver Spirit’s July 21 seven-day sailing will remain entirely a Black Sea itinerary with Trabzon replacing Odessa, while three new nine-day voyages will focus on destinations in Greece and Turkey, and also retain the original Black Sea ports of Constanza and Nessebur.
The new nine-day voyages, Silver Cloud’s Oct. 13 sailing and Silver Spirit’s voyages of Aug. 20 and Sept. 29, have been enhanced with an added perk.
Departing from Constanza, guests can enjoy a complimentary full-day Silversea Experience in Bucharest, renowned as the Paris of the East for its tree-lined avenues, elegant architecture, and vibrant atmosphere.
Highlights include a scenic drive through Romania’s countryside, a delicious Romanian-style lunch, and an enriching exploration of the capital city’s Palace of Parliament, Patriarchal Hill, open-air Village Museum, and Revolution Square. Alternatively, guests may opt for a US$200 per guest onboard credit.
Following are details of the modified itineraries:
