3 Things I Didn't Know About Silversea's Silver Spirit

Guess what? We've just booked passage on the June 5th sailing of Silversea's new Silver Spirit from Venice, Italy to Athens, Greece. This is a ship we've been itching to try, but the itineraries just weren't meshing with our schedules. But, when we saw a small window in which we'd be available, we investigated the options and Silver Spirit's itinerary fit the bill nicely.

That being said, I now need to learn everything I can about the ship—quickly! I'm just scratching the surface, but here are some things I've discovered that surprised me:

3 Things I Didn't Know About Silver Spirit

1. Silversea Loves Fine Chocolate as Much as I Do!
   Finally, a luxury cruise line that leaves artisan chocolates on your pillow during evening turn-down service. I love chocolate far more than I should (I know, it's an addiction that I really should seek help to overcome) and Silver Spirit will cater to my sweet tooth. They purvey handmade chocolates from Pierre Marcolini of Brussels. These treats will eventually make their way to Silversea's other ships during select itineraries this summer in Europe.
   
   
2. Silver Spirit's Been on TV
   Plum TV reporter Alex Miranda filmed a short segment aboard Silver Spirit. Check out this Silver Spirit clip, which includes an interview with Silversea's VP of Sales, Stephen Tucker.
   
   
3. How the In-Room Mirror TVs Work
   I knew that this ship had installed unique mirrors that double as a TV. What I didn't know is how they work. Check out this video for the details.
   
   
   
   I'm excited to learn more about this beautiful new ship and I'm curious to match up what I've heard and read with my own personal experience. Just 39 days until we board Silver Spirit!
