EARN 25% COMMISSION O N S I LV E R S E A C R U I S E S Today’s trying economy has touched all of us, and as Silversea executives, we knew we needed to find a way to help our valued agents. We have increased your earning potential to 25% Commission for new bookings on all voyages departing on or before March 31, 2009 (including Silversea Expeditions aboard the Prince Albert II). Since we also recognize that, even amongst your most affluent clients, there is an increased demand for value, we have extended this incentive programme to include our special Silver Sailings that offer up to 50% savings off the published fare. From left to right: David Morris, Executive Vice President, Sales & Marketing Worldwide Marilyn Conroy, Senior Vice President, Sales & Marketing-Americas Amerigo Perasso, President & CEO The 25% Commission Programme is effective October 16, 2008 and expires December 31, 2008. This offer is only available on new bookings (bookings that are cancelled and re-booked do not qualify) and will be combinable with any/all other consumer offers in the marketplace, including, but not limited to, tactical promotions and concessions.
