Silversea Cruises Trumpets Details of America’s Cup Voyage
Silversea, the worlds leading ultra-luxury cruise line, has announced details of the itinerary and special activities planned for the six-star rated Silver Whisper’s presence at the 32nd America’s Cup regatta.
The prestigious yachting tournament is scheduled to be held this summer in Valencia, Spain, marking the first time Europe will host the race for the oldest trophy in sport.
Switzerland’s Team Alinghi, the defenders of the title, swept the last competition in five straight wins, and Silversea guests will have the best seats in the house from June 23 to 29 for what is shaping up to be another amazing contest.
On June 23 and 24, the intimate, all-suite ship will be positioned in Valencia Bay directly alongside the race course, giving guests a front-row seat to experience all the drama and excitement of this most celebrated global event.
June 25, a rest day for cup competitors, provides the chance for Silver Whisper’s 382 privileged and pampered guests to take in new sights and go exploring as the ship journeys to Algiers, North Africa.
Optional escorted shore excursions will reveal the culture and history of this fascinating destination before guests return to Valencia to enjoy the next exciting race days of the America’s Cup competition (June 26 and 27).
On June 28, the second scheduled rest day for race competitors, guests will have ample time to explore Valencia, one of the most historic cities in Spain.
Throughout this extraordinary 8-day voyage there will be top sailing officials and experts on board Silver Whisper providing guests with background knowledge on the America’s Cup history and rules, professional insights on the teams taking part, and full commentary on every race as it happens live in front of the ship.
