Who Would Try Silversea Cruises?
Being working on cruise boats for several years as a photographer gave me the chance to meet many different people. Something that not many people seem to understand is that living in a boat is very different to living in a flat or a house and it has a big impact on people’s social behaviour. New friendships can be developed, new love stories can take place, couples can divorce, babies may be conceived or even born and some may even pass away!
A luxury boat that is moving into the seven seas is like a small floating city. One thing to remember is that apart from the passengers there are hundreds of employees for whom the boat is the place where they work, live, socialise and sleep 24/7. It is strictly forbidden for those people to develop social relationships with the passengers but sometimes it is inevitable.
A common person to find in a luxury boat is about 60 years of age, wealthy and usually retired. They all come from a wide range of different professions but with a few exceptions most of them were very successful professionally. Doctors, lawyers, publishers, editors, journalists, and civil engineers coexist with wealthy shop owners, entrepreneurs and tradesmen. That signifies that high education is not really one of the main factors, although a high income is.
Of course there is a small part of passengers who although they don’t make enough to be afford a luxury, they are happy saving hard in order to make their dream come true cruise. Those are people who have read about those luxury cruises and are really curious to find out how the experience is like. Even though I gained most of my experiences on Silversea Cruises boats where I worked, other colleagues that used to work on Oceania Cruises and Cunard Cruises have had similar experiences.
When it comes to sports, golf is definitely the number one while cricket and polo are also popular. Taking up a luxury cruise for many people could be a ‘once in a lifetime’ experience but it is definitely worth it..
