Sorry if this is getting a bit off topic.
The Silversea Dubai to Athens itinerary may be a bit less expensive than Navigator later in the year. I haven't run the numbers. My two bits is the Navigator itinerary is the better of the two sailings. Since it's part of the Discovery Grand Cruise, I'd expect there will be more special events on that sailing. Plus, let's not forget Crystal and Beth will be aboard! LOL!!
Were it not for ROAR2, I'd have changed my booking to the Navigator sailing. We can't go wrong either way, and I'm looking forward to trying Silversea and sailing on another great LCT escorted cruise.
I'm confident both cruise lines know what they are doing in the Middle East.
Cheers, Anne
