(Monaco, November 17, 2008) Silversea's latest addition to the fleet, M/v Prince Albert II, which was originally scheduled to reposition from Antarctica to French Polynesia for the 2009 spring and summer seasons, will now sail back to its inaugural destination - the Arctic - on June 1st. Prince Albert II will operate 9 expeditions in the Arctic before heading south. The 2008-09 (and 2009-10) winter voyages will remain unchanged, exploring the Antarctic Peninsula as well as the remote islands of South Georgia and the Falklands.
In July and August this year, M/v Prince Albert II operated four expedition voyages to the Arctic. "I am confident", declared Silversea President & CEO Amerigo Perasso, "that her revised 2009 deployment will meet a great success given the overly positive response of our Arctic cruisers and the strong market demand for this type of product. With her ice-strengthened hull, Prince Albert II is quite naturally associated with polar sea ice regions, rather than other attractive, exotic destinations. Operating our vessel in close reach of our three leading markets (United States, United Kingdom and Continental Europe) is all the more justified in the present economic conjuncture."
