palladian Posted January 23, 2013 #1 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Has any one set their own itinerary? how does SS price this? We are interested in a section of the WC in 2014 for about 30 days. Thanks for any comments.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unfathomable Posted January 24, 2013 #2 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I could be out of date, but IIRC tailormade dates are available only close to departure (90 days ahead?), so that available space goes first to those taking the conventional start and finish dates (i.e. minimising vacancies); you pay undiscounted top dollar; it is cruise only; and there is an additional challenge in finding space on the WC. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seafairer Posted January 24, 2013 #3 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I suggest you contact Silversea directly, Palladian, to learn how this works and see if it meets your needs. Best to get this kind of info direct from them right at the outset. You (or your travel agent) can call their Ft. Lauderdale office at 800-722-9955 and they'll be glad to explain everything you need to know. Hope it works out for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palladian Posted January 25, 2013 Author #4 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Thanks I did call and they are not shy on the price it will be best to wait and see if they break it into segments like they have with this years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare RachelG Posted January 25, 2013 #5 Share Posted January 25, 2013 My TA inquired for me and was told that they are NOT going to break the 2014 world cruise into segments. I find that pretty hard to believe as I doubt they can fill the ship with those doing the whole world cruise and especially considering they are now offering smaller segments of other cruises. But that is what she was told very emphatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wripro Posted January 25, 2013 #6 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I agree. If they don't break the WC into segments they'll be sailing a ghost ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stumblefoot Posted January 25, 2013 #7 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I find that pretty hard to believe...I agree with you too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ging466 Posted January 26, 2013 #8 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I agree. If they don't break the WC into segments they'll be sailing a ghost ship. Not breaking the WC, but breaking much shorter voyages is just plain stupid. So who is coming up with these stupid ideas?:eek: Cheers Jennifer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TLCOhio Posted January 26, 2013 #9 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I agree. If they don't break the WC into segments they'll be sailing a ghost ship. Super cute phrase of a potential to be "sailing a ghost ship". Also, true!! Agree with Jennifer and others that they will need to break things up into parts. Too many other lines offers such World Cruises and not that many people with that large, large size of cash to put down for that long of a cruise. THANKS! Enjoy!

Rare RachelG Posted January 29, 2013 #11 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Alas they have broken it down to segments in the new brochure lust out:) Very interesting! Will have to check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stumblefoot Posted January 29, 2013 #12 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Alas they have broken it down to segments in the new brochure lust out:) Considering they told RachelG's travel agent that they were not going to do, what they obviously had plans to do (since a brochure had been sent to a printer), is really, really bad form IMHO. My TA inquired for me and was told that they are NOT going to break the 2014 world cruise into segments. I find that pretty hard to believe as I doubt they can fill the ship with those doing the whole world cruise and especially considering they are now offering smaller segments of other cruises.

Rare RachelG Posted January 29, 2013 #13 Share Posted January 29, 2013 It is still not broken into segments on the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
