Silversea Cruises has returned to global operations with the maiden voyages of Silver Moon from Athens, Greece, and Silver Origin from San Cristόbal in the Galápagos Islands.
Silver Moon will operate two alternating 10-day itineraries in the Greek Isles, each of which will stop in different destinations. Silver Origin, meanwhile, will sail year-round expedition voyages roundtrip from San Cristόbal to destinations in the Galápagos, with visits to Sullivan Bay, Santa Fé and Fausto Llerena Breeding Center in Santa Cruz.
“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 personalised service,” says Roberto Martinoli, Silversea’s president and CEO. “These initial sailings will transport guests to our most sought-after destinations in the Greek Isles and the Galápagos 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.”
The debut of the new ships will also mark the launch of Silversea’s new S.A.L.T. culinary programme, with destination-specific dishes on offer at the S.A.L.T. Kitchen restaurant, locally inspired cocktails and drinks at the S.A.L.T. Bar and cooking demonstrations with local chefs at the S.A.L.T. Lab.
Silver Moon and Silver Origin will be joined by Silver Muse when she sets sail to Alaska from 29 July, while Silver Shadow will sail on circumnavigations of Iceland from 30 July.
