Silversea Cruises is offering a collection of 13 Elegant Explorations for 2009, aimed at giving guests the opportunity to see the world at a "slower pace." The cruises last between 24 and 92 days and include the line's first-ever, 92-day Grand Pacific cruise (departing March 7, 2009, on Silver Shadow), which will visit a combined 45 ports in 15 countries. Passengers who book the voyage will be handed a $2,000 per-suite shipboard credit. But they'll be paying fares starting at $55,170 per person for the trip. Visit www.silversea.com. (DE)
