SILVERSEA Cruises director
of expedition cruises, Conrad
Combrink, made a fleeting visit
to Australia earlier this week to
update the industry on the latest
developments within Silversea.
Big news for the company is
the pending debut of Silver Muse
which will join the company’s
Classic fleet in 2017.
Muse will carry 596
passengers and offer a range of
enhancements including 34 of the
popular Silver Suites as well as
connecting rooms, reflecting the
rise of intergenerational travel.
Combrink also showcased
the expansion of Silversea’s
expedition fleet, which will
see the the classic Silver Cloud
undergo a transformation into an
ice-class vessel.
Carrying a maximum of 200
passengers into the polar regions,
the refreshed Silver Cloud will join
Silver Explorer, Silver Discoverer
and Silver Galapagos to offer
passengers the opportunity to
explore the world’s remotest
regions in luxury.
MEANWHILE it’s been
confirmed that the Silversea role
formerly held by Steve Odell
(President, Europe & Asia Pacific)
will not be replaced, following
Odell’s return down under as
head of Norwegian Cruise Line
Holdings for Australia/NZ.
Silversea’s revised structure sees
the company’s senior managers
around the globe report to its
chief operating officer.
