In this episode, Rodney is joined by a special guest, Joe Leon, from Silverseas Cruises. Together, they dive into the world of luxury cruising, sharing insider tips and stories that will inspire your next vacation. Joe shares Silverseas’ commitment to taking customers deeper into destinations than they would travel with anyone else. This promise is evident in every aspect, from the design of their ships to the innovative programs on board, like the culinary program Sea and Land Tastes (SALT). With their new ships, Silver Ray and Silver Nova, dubbed “ships of light” by the U.S. media, guests can enjoy stunning views, with 93 percent of public areas offering vistas of the outside destinations.
