Silversea Cruises announced its return to global operations with the inaugural sailing of its new flagship, Silver Moon, from Athens (Piraeus).
Sailing out of the same port, the ship will follow 10-day itineraries in the Greek Isles, offering guests ocean-view suites, fine dining, and personalized service, with a 1:1 crew-to-guest ratio.
The launch of Silver Moon was combined with the unveiling of “Sea And Land Taste,” or SALT, the cruise line’s pioneer culinary program. SALT gives guests the opportunity to taste and experience the authentic culinary cultures and traditions of each region that the ship visits. More information about the program can be found here.
The inaugural sailing of Silversea’s new expeditionary vessel, Silver Origin also took place, departing a day later from San Cristobal in the Galapagos on 19JUN. Silver Origin is the first-ever, destination-specific ship built by Silversea, and will sail year-round with all-new itineraries in the archipelago. The ship will also offer balcony-only suites, and a 1:10 guide-to-guest ratio.
“With the maiden voyages of these two beautiful ships, we welcome guests to rediscover exotic destinations, cultures, and cuisines in our trademark level of comfort, with impeccable personalized service,” says Silversea’s President and CEO Roberto Martinoli. “These initial sailings will transport guests to our most sought-after destinations in the Greek Isles and the Galapagos Archipelago, and we look forward to the further expansion of our offering in July with resumed service to Alaska on Silver Muse and Iceland on Silver Shadow.”
Silver Muse will set sail to Alaska from 29JUL, while Silver Shadow will sail on circumnavigations of Iceland from 30JUL.
