The newly refurbished Silver Cloud will be sailing a nearly identical sailing on March 29, 2005 (14 nites - from Dubai thru the Suez to Port Said) as being offered by the Radisson Voyager during her Grand World Cruise. Later on in the year, the Silver Shadow will will sail a similar 15 day itinerary starting November 7 2005. This itinerary offers a port of call in Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt featuring the historical Sinai peninsula, St. Catherine's Monastery, and some spectacular marine life snorkeling.

If you don't want to wait until 2005, the Silver Cloud will be there in October 2004.

All these itineraries in this part of the world sound interesting to me...Ron and I are definitely there in 2005!
