CND Headlines - Striking While the Iron Is Hot

Many times in business, when an opportunity presents itself, you need to move quickly to capitalize on it, or it is lost. That's just what luxury operator Silversea did, and as a result, in about six months, the line will find itself in the expedition cruise business. And not just in the expedition cruise business, but more or less creating a whole new category along the way.

Silversea today announced the purchase of the former World Discoverer, which they purchased within days of learning of its availability, according to Manfredi Lefebvre, the company's chairman.

Details are in today's edition of Cruise News Daily.
