  • Welcome to CLIA’s Specialty Cruise Collection!

    I am very pleased to introduce you to the wonderful world of specialty cruising by way of CLIA’s 13 amazing small, river, coastal, luxury, adventure and sailing ship members. The CLIA Specialty Cruise Collection encompasses ves-sels, of all sizes and cruises experiences in spectacular and exotic destinations and at almost every price level, including ultra-luxury.

    Using the theme “Experience the World in a Different way,” members of the Collection, while distinctly differ-ent, offer guests the experience of interacting intimately with the world, its landscapes, cultures and people. I have personally been extremely impressed with the remark-able success, growth and popularity of specialty cruising

    and the highly favorable reputation these lines widely enjoy.

    We created this briefing document as a reference guide and resource tool to the Collec-tion and I hope you find it interesting and informative. Please do not hesitate to contact us if we can be of any additional assistance.

    Meanwhile, Happy Sailing!

    Christine DuffyPresident & CEO Cruise Lines International Association

    Company ProfileSilversea is a cruise company reflecting generations of maritime and travel ex-perience. In the early 1990s, the Lefebvre family of Rome, former owners of Sitmar Cruises, conceived and organized a unique cruise company pledging to build and operate the highest quality ships in the ultra-luxury segment. The name “Silversea” was chosen because it connotes quality and luxury as well as capturing the romance and special sensations of the sea. Silversea launched its first ship, Silver Cloud in 1994, followed by Silver Wind in 1995, Silver Shadow in 2000, Silver Whisper in 2001, and the newest ship Silver Spirit, in 2009. The fleet was purpose-built for the ultra-luxury market, establishing a new class of smaller, intimate vessels that could slip into more exotic ports off the beaten path. These elite vessels were specifically designed for fewer guests, more space and the highest levels of personalized service. All oceanview suites, most with private veranda, and open seating dining options so guests dine when, where and with whom they desire, add to the very special ambiance created onboard. Silversea has been voted “World’s Best” by the readers of Condé Nast Traveler (nine times), Travel & Leisure (seven times), and awarded “Best Small Ship Cruise Line” by Global Traveler (2013). The company’s first expedition ship, Silver Ex-plorer (formerly Prince Albert II), debuted in June 2008, heralding the beginning of a new mode in exploration cruising — where an ultra-luxurious ambience is just as important as an exotic and enriching itinerary.

    Company ProfileTauck has been named the “World’s Best River Cruise Line” and the “World’s Best River Cruise Line for Families” by the readers of Travel + Leisure magazine, the “Best Luxury River Cruise Line” by the editors at CruiseReport.com, and the company’s river cruises and riverboats have been honored with five Magel-lan Awards from Travel Weekly magazine. Tauck operates a fleet of four elegant riverboats on the major rivers of Europe, including the Danube, Rhone, Rhine, Moselle, Saone, Main and Maas. Tauck’s riverboats accommodate just 118 passen-gers each (vs. up to 160 on other ships of the same size) and have a much high-er-than-average percentage of suites, ensuring an intimate, relaxing and club-like atmosphere. Tauck guests are further pampered with roomy public areas, a second onboard dining venue, and tasteful cabin amenities ranging from Molton Brown toiletries and terry bathrobes and slippers, to pillow-top beds outfitted with 400-thread count satin bed linens and goose down or hypoallergenic pil-lows. Tauck’s ships are also staffed to ensure the highest levels of service, with a dedicated Tauck Cruise Director and three Tauck tour directors (or “Tauck Directors”) on-hand to attend to guests’ every onboard desire, and ensure an au-thentic, in-depth and enriching experience ashore. Every Tauck itinerary lever-ages the company’s 88 years experience as a leader in premium-quality land tours, and is highlighted by “insider access” to unique and exclusive experiences, from guided market visits and cooking classes in Provence, to a special “Imperial Evening” featuring dinner and classical music, opera and dance performances in a private Viennese palace.
