Silversea has confirmed that its entire 10-ship fleet has now re-entered service.
Since pausing operations in March 2020, the cruise line has continued on its trajectory of growth, taking delivery of three new ships and hosting an ultra-luxury world cruise in 2022.
“I am incredibly proud to see all of our ships now welcoming guests around the world – with 10 ships in operation for the first time in our cruise line’s history – after what’s been a challenging period for the global travel industry,” said Roberto Martinoli, Silversea’s President and CEO.
“After leading the global return of ultra-luxury cruising, we have come back stronger than before with the support of Royal Caribbean Group, with a more all-inclusive door-to-door service, three news ships, and various product enhancements.
“It is especially gratifying to have our beloved Silver Wind embark on her first voyages as an ice-class expedition vessel, complete with Zodiacs and kayaks – offering our guests unforgettable encounters with nature and wildlife, and, in due course, expanding our industry-leading polar offering.”
Setting sail after the pandemic, Silversea’s new ships Silver Moon and Silver Origin® departed on their maiden voyages on June 18 and June 19, 2021 in Greece and the Galápagos, respectively.
The following month, Silver Muse® became the first ultra-luxury ship to sail in Alaska, while Silver Shadow℠ welcomed guests in Iceland.
Silver Spirit® headed to Northern Europe in September, while Silver Explorer® and Silver Cloud® returned to Antarctica in November, and Silver Whisper® in the Caribbean from the same month.
The cruise line’s newest ship, Silver Dawn℠, embarked on her inaugural season in the Mediterranean in April 2022.
After departing from Athens on May 28, the 274-guest Silver Wind is now devoting 14 days to sailing the Mediterranean before arriving in Lisbon on June 11.
The ship will then sail Northern Europe and the British Isles, before reaching Reykjavík to begin a summer of Arctic explorations that will include a crossing of the famed Northwest Passage in August.
In October, Silver Wind will trace a path along the Pacific Coast of the United States, Central America, and South America, leading to the frozen wonderland of Antarctica for her inaugural season in the White Continent.
