Rocco Forte Hotels and Silversea Cruises announce a partnership that unites the two private Italian hospitality companies for the first time, offering guests an ultra-luxury experience both on land and at sea. Silversea's elegant and intimate ships are small enough to navigate narrow canals, right through the heart of a city, at the doorsteps of Rocco Forte hotels.
This partnership provides guests of both companies with unique benefits. Silversea offers exclusive perks to guests of Rocco Forte hotels, including discounted fares, VIP embarkation amenities, a private culinary event for two, and an invitation to dine at the captain's or senior officers' table. Silversea guests staying at any Rocco Forte hotel will enjoy booking upgrades, hotel transfers and unpacking services, and VIP amenities.
This fantastic union perfectly blends Silversea's warm Italian hospitality with Rocco Forte's Anglo-Italian style, offering unparalleled comfort and personalized service. Like the impeccable rooms and suites at Rocco Forte Hotels, Silversea's suites are spacious and beautifully appointed with quality furnishings. All Silversea suites feature ocean views and butler service, and most offer a private terrace.
Sir Rocco Forte, Chairman of Rocco Forte Hotels, states: “Having known Manfredi Lefebvre d'Ovidio for many years, it is a special pleasure to form an alliance with a company with roots similar to our own. Together we will share the best of the land and sea while providing our guests with the exceptional personalized service that is common to both houses.”.
“I am delighted to welcome Rocco Forte Hotels as a partner of Silversea,” said Mr. Lefebvre, Chairman of the cruise line. “Sir Rocco Forte and I share a long-standing personal friendship. Now, with our shared values, we are cooperating to provide exceptional service to our guests.”.
