Silversea Cruises has confirmed its return to cruising in Asia, for the first time since March 2020.

The luxury cruise line will have four ships in the region  – Silver Shadow, Silver Whisper, Silver Spirit, and Silver Muse.

The 596-guest Silver Muse will be the first to set sail, departing Singapore on 2 December 2022.

Other itineraries include the Mumbai to Singapore cruise on Silver Spirit, departing 20 December, and a Hong Kong to Singapore voyage in early 2023.

Highlights of the line’s season include calls in Sri Lanka, Hong Kong, and Vietnam, among others, “combining opportunities for deep travel to both iconic cities and lesser-visited destinations”, Silversea said in a statement.

Asia an ‘important region’ for Silversea

Silversea chief commercial officer Barbara Muckermann said: “We are delighted to confirm our return to Asia from December 2022, offering guests the luxury of choice with four ships sailing in the region.

“Asia has long constituted an important sailing region for Silversea Cruises and our guests are eager to return to this enriching, rewarding continent with us.

“Including calls to destinations in Sri Lanka, Hong Kong, Vietnam, and more, with convenient departures, many overnight calls, and late departures maximising opportunities to experience the soul of each, our upcoming Asia season represents one of the final pillars in our global return to service.”

In September, Silversea boosted its trade team with the appointment of Megan Saunders as business development manager.
