Silversea Cruise’s World Cruise 2023 set sail yesterday. Named “South Side Story” the cruise departed Sydney, Australia – the first time the company’s World Cruise has originated from the Southern Hemisphere.
“Under the leadership of Captain Macarone Palmieri, our entire onboard team is incredibly proud to reconvene our close-knit Venetian Society members for the World Cruise. Among our extended family, we have two guests from the U.K. who have accumulated over 2,500 days spent sailing with us before the start of the voyage”.
Barbara Muckermann, President and CEO, Silversea Cruises.
In the past Silver Whisper was synonymous with the World Cruise, but this year sister-ship Silver Shadow plays host to the voyage. The intimate, 388-guest vessel will sail from Sydney to Fort Lauderdale, USA.
