Silversea Cruises has “shattered” its bookings records with its 2023 World Cruise.
General sales for the arts-inspired circumnavigation, named ‘South Side Story – All the World’s a Stage’, opened on March 17.
The luxury line, said the 139-day voyage on Silver Shadow, calling in 66 destinations in 34 countries across five continents, fully sold out on the first day.
Silversea said this followed the “most successful pre-sale in the cruise line’s history”.
President and chief executive Roberto Martinoli said: “This triumph pays testament to the strong demand we are seeing in the market, particularly from affluent, sophisticated travellers.
“I strongly advise our travel partners to be quick in adding their interested clients to the voyage’s waitlist, as Silver Shadow is sure to embark upon this remarkable itinerary at capacity.”
Silver Shadow is due to depart Sydney on January 10, 2023, and arrive in Fort Lauderdale on May 28. The itinerary includes Papua New Guinea, Mauritius, Réunion Island, and Cape Verde; 20 overnight calls; 10 days in Tasmania and New Zealand; three days in Myanmar; a week in South Africa; and sailing on the Amazon river.
