Silversea's Silver Links Golf Program Welcomes Celebrity Hosts VerneLundquist and John O'Hurley
-- Famed CBS Sports Announcer and Seinfeld's J. Peterman
To Host Silver Links Voyages --
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Jan. 18 -- Golfers of all ages and
handicaps know that a good round is not always measured by the number of
strokes, but by the number of laughs. This being the case, what better way to
spend a day on the course than listening to the anecdotes of sports announcer
Verne Lundquist and actor John O'Hurley? Silversea guests will have that
chance aboard two of the line's 2001 Silver Links Golf Cruises and special
pre-cruise golf packages featuring Lundquist and O'Hurley as celebrity guest
hosts.
Lundquist's years as a play-by-play sports announcer for three Olympic
Winter Games, the NFL, the NBA, college basketball, including the NCAA Men's
Basketball Championship, and of course, the Masters, will certainly capture
any sports fan's attention. Broadway, television and film star John O'Hurley,
commonly known for his work as the impeccably groomed mail-order mogul, "J.
Peterman," on the hit series, Seinfeld, will make an excellent fourth with
stories from his stints as an actor, a golfer and an outdoorsman.
Silver Links golf hosts play each round with the guests, participate in
putting and chipping contests, and attend dinner and cocktail parties. Both
Lundquist and O'Hurley will entertain other guests traveling on these voyages
as well. Lundquist will give a lecture on his coverage of the Masters and his
stories about some of the greatest golfers of all time, and O'Hurley will call
on his Broadway talents by performing a Cabaret show.
O'Hurley will be the featured Silver Links golf host aboard "Around
Britain," a 12-day journey aboard Silver Cloud from Edinburgh to Dublin,
August 26 through September 7, 2001. Silver Links golfers aboard this voyage
will have the opportunity to tee off at the revered courses of England and the
Emerald Isles including Wentworth Golf Course, Royal Guernsey, Royal
Portrush-Dunluce Links, Royal County Down Golf Club and The K Club.
All-inclusive air/sea fares for "Around Britain" range from $9,795 to $21,695
per person, double occupancy. The complete Silver Links golf program is an
additional $2,395 per person including five full rounds of golf.
Lundquist will be the featured Silver Links golf host aboard "Castles and
Vines," a 12-day journey aboard Silver Cloud from Dublin to Lisbon, September
7-19, 2001, featuring calls in Ireland, Belgium, France, Spain and Portugal.
All-inclusive air/sea fares for "Castles and Vines" range from $8,998 to
$19,895 per person, double occupancy. Those taking swings as part of the
Silver Links package aboard this voyage will play at the venerable K Club,
Waterford Castle Golf Club, Golf de St. Malo, Chateau des Vigiers and Club de
Golf La Coruna. The complete Silver Links golf program is an additional
$2,195 per person including five full rounds of golf.
Golf enthusiasts aboard these voyages have the opportunity to create the
ultimate golf escape by adding a pre-cruise program to their voyage. Featuring
some of the most prestigious courses in Scotland and Ireland, Silversea's
pre-cruise golf programs include deluxe hotel accommodations, and range in
price from $2,995 to $3,995 per person. O'Hurley will host the three-day
"Around Britain" pre-cruise excursion in Edinburgh including rounds at St.
Andrews Old Course, St. Andrews New Course and Carnoustie Golf Course prior to
meeting the ship. Lundquist will host the three-day "Castles and Vines"
pre-cruise package to Dublin including rounds at The K Club, Portmarnock Golf
Club and Royal Dublin.
The Silver Links golf program makes playing in the world's most challenging
and coveted courses in Australia, New Zealand, the British Isles, the
Mediterranean and North America as easy as teeing off at a neighborhood club.
Silversea goes to extraordinary lengths to remove the hassle for traveling
golfers by including all greens fees, cart and caddie fees, transfers between
the ship and the courses, afternoon meals while golfing, competitions and
prizes, and onboard club storage in the conveniently all-inclusive price of
the program.
Aboard Silversea, the tangibles of ultra-luxury travel -- Moet & Chandon
house champagne, Christofle silverware, Bvlgari bath amenities, Frette bed
linens and soft down pillows -- are subtly blended with an intangible
at-your-service atmosphere that caters to satisfying a guest's every desire,
24-hours a day.
