Silversea has announced summer voyages in Alaska and Iceland, starting this July.

With the passage of the US Alaska Tourism Restoration Act, which enables cruises to Alaska without required stops in Canada, Silver Muse will resume sailings from Seattle, starting 29 July, for a series of 10 and 11-day itineraries.

The line said these voyages will enable guests “to journey to some of Alaska’s most breathtaking ice structures, including the Sawyer Glacier and the Mendenhall Glacier”.

Silver Shadow will circumnavigate Iceland with the launch of new all-Icelandic itineraries, returning to Northern Europe with three 10-day voyages from Reykjavik, beginning 30 July.

Voyages will call at Grundarfjordur, Isafjordur, Siglufjordur, Akureyri, Husavik, Seydisfjordur, and the island of Heimaey.

Silversea also plans to resume Mediterranean sailings from 18 June. Silver Moon will depart on 10-day itineraries to the eastern Mediterranean from Greece.

New ship Silver Origin will also operate in the Galápagos Islands from 19 June.

Silversea president & CEO Roberto Martinoli said: “We proudly continue to lead the ultra-luxury cruise industry’s healthy return to service and commend the leadership of Alaska and Iceland for taking steps to advance the safe resumption of global travel.

“The return to service is fast gaining momentum and we’ve seen exceptional demand for travel in Alaska and Iceland.

“We’re eager to welcome back our guests to unlock unforgettable experiences aboard Silver Muse and Silver Shadow while contributing to the local economies of the incredible communities we visit.”

All guests and crew will need to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 before embarking Silver Muse in Alaska and Silver Shadow in Iceland.

Guests who book before 31 August 2021 will be able to cancel their cruise up to 30 days prior to departure for all voyages (except world cruises) until 30 April 2022, without penalties when selecting a future cruise credit.
