The 596-passenger ship joins a veritable armada of arrivals for extended 2019/20 extended seasons.

‘We are thrilled to welcome back our stunning flagship vessel, Silver Muse, to Australia and New Zealand,’ Silversea’s MD Australia and New Zealand Adam Armstrong said.

Maiden calls

‘This season Silver Muse will make maiden calls at ports in the South Pacific, Tasmania and New Zealand,’ Armstrong said.

‘We are absolutely committed to the growth of the Australia and New Zealand market, which we expect to soon become No. 2 for us globally.’

Silver Muse will remain in the region until she arrives in Auckland on March 17 next year and commences a 67-day ‘Grand Voyage 2020 Asia Pacific,’ calling at 10 countries and arriving in Vancouver on May 21.

Circumnavigation of Australia

During her third 2020/21 season, Silver Muse will depart Sydney on October 31, 2020, on a 50-day-plus circumnavigation of Australia. She will also visit ports in New Zealand and Indonesia, with overnights in Perth, Bali and Cairns.
