Muse Q&A with the Silversea Heirarchy.

[Host Jazzbeau]

Silversea (or anybody else) can't afford to replicate the luxury of Endeavour, so any new expedition ships they build would look like poor relations.

The talk on the Explora boards has often mentioned the supposedly unlimited deep pockets of the MSC ownership.

 

They have bitten off a lot with Explora, so I don't forsee an excursion operation there.

 

There can be high margins in the expedition segment - along with high costs, both fixed and variable.  Who's gonna roll the dice?  I suspect that there may be some shaking out in this market segment, with some hardware available at attractive pricing.  But who will be doing the selling and the buying?  Your guess is as good (or better) than mine).
