WHERE SUCCESSFUL ADVERTISING MEETS LGBT EQUALITY

Silversea Cruises, Nothing Excluded

Members:

This print ad appeared in Travel & Leisure and made many people wonder if they were depicting a lesbian couple.

In fact, the ad stars actress Isabella Rossellini ("Blue Velvet," "Wyatt Earp," "Wild At Heart," "Big Night" and others) and her daughter, Elettra, who are both unidentified. A company spokesman said they've gotten questions about the nature of the women, but said their celebrity endorser will be identified in future ads.

"In the initial stages of launching the campaign we didn't want to do a hard sell with Isabella," explains Brad Ball, Silversea spokesman.

Incidentally, lesbian cruise line Olivia Vacations uses Silversea line for its trips.
