The Silversea Cruises vessel arrived at Ocean Terminal January 18. Hong Kong’s nightly light and sound show, ‘A Symphony of Lights,’ was projected across Victoria Harbour as the ship made its departure on January 19.
Silver Spirit is the first of ‘many more international cruises’ to return to Hong Kong in 2023 and beyond, according to the Hong Kong Tourism Board.
Commented Adam Radwanski, MD Asia Pacific, Silversea Cruises, ‘Cruising in Asia could not be completed and fully satisfying without calling Hong Kong. It would probably be one of the most anticipated sailings in the region for us.
‘Throughout 2023, Silversea is going to offer another seven voyages that will return to Hong Kong.’
