We got a letter form Silversea today. It offers, along with cruises discounted between 20% and 60% - higher discounts for people who've sailed with them before - an additional $1000 off the fare (per stateroom or $500 per person) as a Welcome Back promotion. It covers trips all over the world. It's for "Venetian Society members who have sailed only one time in the period between 1998 and 12/31/03 and hold no future booking on a Silversea cruise." It's a promo designed to bring back one time SS cruisers who have stayed away - in our case because the value is SO much better on RSSC for essentially the same product.

There are a couple of trips that might be feasible for us later this year. Just to give you an idea of how attractive this offer is - a 7 night San Diego round trip stopping at Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Vallerta and Mazatlan with three sea days lists at $4295 pp for a Veranda Suite and can be had through this deal for $1500 pp. Amazing! I always say that it would take an awesome deal to get me back there and this might be too good to pass up.

Worth exploring if you qualify.
