Only a week after launching one of the most ambitious onboard enrichment programs in the industry, Silversea Cruises announced on Monday that they are expanding their $1,000 Onboard Credit offer to include an additional 25 sailings for 2011.

The line, which specialises in ultra-luxury voyages aboard its six intimate, yacht-like ships, is already known for its almost all-inclusive features.  Gratuities and nearly all beverages are included in the cruise fare, and many sailings feature free economy-class airfare from a number of US and Canadian departure gateways.  With the addition of 25 Northern Europe and Mediterranean sailings offering an onboard credit of $1,000 per suite, the total number of sailings featuring this offer rises to 38 for 2011.

An additional 25 sailings include an onboard credit of $500 per suite.

What can you use your onboard credit on?  Anything - it can be applied to shore excursions, spa treatments, premium selections from the line's Connoisseur's List of wines and spirits, specialty dining fees, Internet packages and the ship's onboard boutiques.

This latest addition makes these sailings an incredible deal for those looking to get the most out of their cruising dollar, and offers the piece of mind and total relaxation that comes with not having to pay for every little thing once onboard.

Here's three of our favorite voyages offering the $1,000 Onboard Spending Credit in addition to Silver Savings fares and free economy class airfare from select gateways.  Be sure to visit Silversea's website, though, for the full rundown of voyages featuring both onboard credit options.
