Ultra-luxury Silversea Cruises today announced its support of two organisations dedicated to the preservation of works of art and architecture in Venice: Save Venice and Chorus. One of Italy's - and the world's - most romantic and magical cities, Venice is featured on no less than ten Silversea itineraries this summer. On each of these mostly seven-day voyages, guests will enjoy an overnight stay aboard Silver Wind or Silver Whisper docked in Venice.

Save Venice, an American non-profit group based in New Yorkand Venice, with chapters in Bostonand California, is dedicated to preserving the city's artistic heritage and has restored over 350 works of art and architecture in Venice. It publishes a colourful, 24-page book of hunts and puzzles designed to enhance visits to Veniceby encouraging the visitor to focus on various architectural details and art objects that might otherwise go unnoticed.

Through Silversea's cooperation with Save Venice, the books are available for sale for €25 on all voyages calling in Venice this summer. Proceeds from the sale go to support the various projects of Save Venice. In addition, when guests purchase one of Silversea's optional pre- or post-cruise land programmes featuring at least a one-night stay in Venice, they automatically receive a copy of the "Save Venice Hunts & Puzzles" book in their hotel room.
