I'm married to Silversea's singles' offer

Silversea rules the waves with its great cruise offers.

If there's a better cruise company than Silversea, I certainly haven't found it.

And now the best cruise line on the sea is offering single travellers like me a deal that's hard to pass up - passage on five of Silversea's more popular cruises in 2012 with a single supplement that's just 10 per cent above the per-person, double occupancy fare.

Don't tell Silversea but I'd pay 20 per cent extra to sail on one of that line's luxury vessels that feature the best of everything.

With a crew-to-guest ratio that is almost one-to-one, single guests sailing on Silversea ships enjoy highly personalized service, warm hospitality, and an ambiance that makes them feel right at home. Also, exclusively for solo guests, a welcoming champagne reception is hosted aboard every Silversea voyage, and select voyages are escorted by Gentlemen Hosts. These interesting, amiable and distinguished men are available as dance partners or dinner companions for single female guests, and will often participate in other shipboard activities as well as escort shore excursions.

Okay, how about us single guys?

The following 2012 voyages offer a 10 per cent single supplement on a Vista Suite (25 per cent on a Veranda Suite), plus the added perks of: a $500 U.S. "Passport to Luxury" Onboard Spending Credit for single travellers; included round-trip economy airfare (from select gateway cities); and included transfers between airport and pier on embarkation and disembarkation days.
