Silversea Cruises is out with a new promotion that will get you $1,000 in onboard credit when booking a new sailing.
The Suite Upgrades offer, as the luxury line calls it, can also give you a two-category cabin upgrade on select voyages for certain cabin categories.
All cabins on Silversea ships are suites, hence the name of the promotion.

The offer applies to more than 100 voyages departing this month through May 31, 2024. To qualify for the offer, bookings must be made by May 31.
Silversea offers two tiers of pricing: port-to-port fares and more expensive door-to-door fares, the latter of which are the only ones that are part of this promotion.
Port-to-port fares include accommodations on a ship, butler service, onboard meals, drinks, onboard gratuities, unlimited Wi-Fi, shore excursions and a complimentary city center shuttle service when applicable.
Door-to-door fares cover all the above, plus private executive transfers from home, international flights to reach the ship and the availability of business-class upgrades at a reduced rate. In-country air and hotels also are included in door-to-door fares when required by the itinerary.

In short, door-to-door fares include just about all the arrangements you’ll need for travel from the moment you leave for your cruise until the moment you return home.
Silversea’s door-to-door fares start around $3,500 per person for an entry-level suite on a seven-night Caribbean cruise. They can be much higher for more exotic and longer itineraries, and for stays in higher-level suites.
The fine print of the offer
The $1,000 credit available with the Suite Upgrades promotion is per suite, not per person. Specifically, you’ll receive a $500 per person credit that applies to a maximum of two people per room.
The credit can be used for a wide range of onboard amenities, including spa treatments, extra-charge dining experiences and premium wines and spirits that aren’t included in the fare. It also can be applied to the cost of optional extra-charge shore excursions.
