Leslie, I think this may be a great reason to have a "first" BK group cruise on Silversea if the itinerary is right! Actually, today at work when I did a brief per diem comparison it was probably 30-35 per day more for Regent (not a deal breaker), but they include those wonderful segment excursions and whatever goes along with being a WC'er. In the end, it is itinerary, and in this part of the world, I have no idea the difference, unfortunately. There are great differences in the itinerary. Like Ngaire said, we need more information, but it is something to look forward to!
