Silversea Cruises has revealed that due to popular demand it is to extend its services within the UK. Revealing their biggest ever portfolio for cruise holidays which either depart or arrive in British ports the 2011 offerings will provide a host of new opportunities for holidaymakers.

With its newest cruise liner to the fleet, the Silver Spirit, to be included in the programme the decision by Silversea Cruises to extend their UK services follows a successful UK portfolio in 2010 which boasted double the number of cruises from 2009. Offering a number of both one way and return trips 15 voyages will be available to those looking for cruises around the world next year. Whilst four return voyages will operate from Leith, Portsmouth, Southampton and Tower Bridge ports those such as the Southampton to New York cruise will provide free return flights with cruise deals.

Talking of the decision to include more UK based ports in their programme the UK and Europe marketing director of Silversea Cruises, Anil Swarup, said “ Next year we will have even more sailings, including three round-Britain voyages and more varied itineraries. UK cruises just used to be the Baltic and around Britain, but we have ships that sail from the UK to places like Monte Carlo and Barcelona, with passengers flying back.” And with the company's success so far this year and the multitude of new holidays on offer in 2011 it looks as if Silversea Cruises is set to become a competitive firm within the British cruise industry.
