Combrink, who is on a whirlwind sales tour covering Noosa in Queensland, Melbourne and Perth, said Australia had slipped back to No. 3 position after a resurgence in bookings from the United Kingdom.
The source markets now line up as the US, Australia and the UK.
Expedition ships galore
Combrink, who recently moved from Cape Town to Silversea’s Miami office, said never before have there been so many global expedition ships in the water and on order.
However, he said, Silversea was the first to offer luxury expedition cruising and is now offering a 167-day expedition voyage aboard the ice-class Silver Cloud, departing Ushuaia on January 30, 2021, for Tromsø.
167 days of complimentary laundry
He said the all-inclusive voyage, which will travel to 107 destinations in 30 countries, will even include complimentary laundry for the entire 167 days.
‘Our guests will travel around the world like no others before them,’ Combrink said.
As earlier reported, Cruise West had begun operating a 335-day world expedition voyage in 2010, but the company ceased operations before it was completed.
