Silversea Unveils New Winter 2019/2020 Itineraries
Silversea Cruises has unveiled its classic fleet’s winter 2019/2020 itineraries, comprised of 89 voyages to Australasia, Asia, South America, the Caribbean, and more – all available to book.
Building on the cruise line’s previously announced expedition itineraries for the same period, the new itineraries bring the total number of visited destinations to approximately 900 for 2019/2020. Carefully curated to expand the cruise line’s geographical footprint and unlock new experiences in the world’s most spectacular destinations, the winter 2019/2020 itineraries include a full program in Australia and New Zealand, a circumnavigation of South America, and increased capacity in Asia, among other highlights.
Ten inaugural calls will be made in such places as Fiji’s volcanic Dravuni Island, the lushly forested Cayman Brac in the Cayman Islands, and the picturesque city of Timaru in New Zealand, with its botanical gardens and bluestone buildings.
“We are excited to unveil our new range of culturally enriching, port-intensive winter itineraries for 2019/2020,” said Silversea CEO Roberto Martinoli. “Aboard our fleet of spacious yet intimate ships, we continue to unlock a wealth of authentic experiences for our guests across the world, from the most cherished cities in each region to new far-flung destinations. Our characteristic 6-star hospitality, uncompromising service, and exquisite cuisine will enrich the onboard experience for our guests.”
