Silversea Resumes Ultra-Luxury Cruising With Two New Ships

Silversea Cruises is the world’s leading ultra-luxury cruise line, which has been operating since 1973. As the operator of the world’s largest fleet of luxury cruise ships, Silversea Cruises offers spectacular, authentic cruising experiences that are second to none.

Silversea Cruises, the world’s first ultra-luxury yacht line, announced today that it has resumed its ultra-luxury cruise service, with the addition of two new vessels. The new ships will join three previously-launched ships in the Silversea fleet, which are now operating seven-night transatlantic and seven-night Mediterranean cruises to the Mediterranean and the Caribbean.

Luxury cruise line Silversea Cruises celebrates its return to global operations today with the maiden voyage of its new flagship Silver Moon from Athens, Greece. Silversea’s other brand new ship, the Silver Origin, a 100-passenger, balcony-only expedition ship built specifically to sail to the Galapagos Islands, will also launch tomorrow, the 19th. June, from San Cristobal for its maiden voyage. The line’s first ship will sail on a series of new routes around the equatorial archipelago. Current trend With the inaugural voyages of these two magnificent ships, we invite our guests to rediscover exotic destinations, cultures and cuisines with our signature comfort and impeccable personal service, said Roberto Martinoli, president and CEO of Silversea, in a statement. These first flights will take customers to our most popular destinations, namely the Greek islands and the Galapagos archipelago. We look forward to expanding our offerings further in July when we resume flights to Alaska on the Silver Muse and Iceland on the Silver Shadow. I look forward to personally welcoming our guests aboard the Silver Moon in Greece. The recently launched flagship Silver Moon will make 10-day voyages around the Greek islands and Cyprus. This 596-passenger ship is one of the most spacious in Silversea’s fleet, but retains the intimacy characteristic of the company’s smaller ships. Guests can enjoy luxurious ocean-view suites, gourmet cuisine and personalized service with a near 1:1 crew-to-guest ratio.

Silver Origin was designed specifically with the unique and fragile biodiversity of the Galapagos Islands in mind and is one of the most energy efficient units in its class. The ship will make ultra-luxurious seven-day expedition voyages around the archipelago throughout the year. The ship has 100 balcony suites, the highest number of expert guides per guest in the Galapagos (1:10) and the highest number of Zodiacs per guest (1:12.5) in the region.

This unique and immersive culinary concept offers guests a rich gastronomic experience and allows them to sample the authentic cultures and traditions of the places they visit. Silversea’s highest priority remains the health and safety of guests, crew and the communities visited. Cruise Line’s general return to wellness is supported by recommendations from medical experts and public health authorities around the world. Silversea has a comprehensive, multi-layered set of science-based protocols in place to protect its guests, which are also approved by the Healthy Swimming Group. This includes ensuring that all guests and crew members are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 prior to departure.
