Silversea Cruises, the world\u2019s premier ultra-luxury cruise line, will today mark its healthy return to global operations with the maiden voyage of its new flagship, Silver Moon, from Athens (Piraeus). The launch of Silver Moon also represents the unveiling of S.A.L.T., the cruise line\u2019s much-anticipated culinary programme. The inaugural sailing of Silversea\u2019s new expeditionary vessel, Silver Origin, will depart from San Cristobal in the Galapagostomorrow, June 19. Silversea\u2019s first destination-specific ship will sail with all-new itineraries in the archipelago. Silversea\u2019s healthy return to service, fleet expansion, and enhanced cultural offerings reflect the company\u2019s commitment to international market growth, while meeting rising consumer demand for ultra-luxury travel, following a year-long travel pause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWith 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,\u201d says Silversea\u2019s President and CEO Roberto Martinoli. \u201cThese 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. I look forward to personally welcoming our guests aboard Silver Moon in Greece.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sailing out of Athens (Piraeus), Silver Moon will follow 10-day itineraries in the Greek Isles, offering guests luxury ocean-view suites, fine dining, and personalised service, with a nearly 1:1 crew-to-guest ratio. Silver Origin welcomes travellers to the Galapagos islands with year-round, ultra-luxury expeditionary voyages, offering balcony-only suites, the highest expert guide-to-guest ratio in the Galapagos (1:10), and the highest Zodiac-to-guest ratio (1:12.5) in the region, as well as Silversea\u2019s customary amenities. Silver Origin is the first-ever, destination-specific ship built by Silversea and one of the most energy-efficient ships in its class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The premier of Silversea\u2019s pioneering culinary programme Sea and Land Taste, or S.A.L.T.\u2120, invites guests to enjoy immersive culinary experiences for a taste of authentic cultures and traditions of each visited region. For more information, see Silversea\u2019s website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Building on Silversea\u2019s global healthy return to service, Silver Muse will set sail to Alaska from July 29, while Silver Shadow will sail on circumnavigations of Iceland from July 30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
