Silversea Cruises opens exclusive pre-sale on its World Cruise 2024, entitled ‘Far East-West’

Amid unprecedented demand for extended voyages, the leading ultra-luxury cruise line today opened an exclusive pre-sale for its 132-day World Cruise 2024 with a cinematic extravaganza

Miami, FL, 2021-Jul-16 — /Travel PR News/ — Silversea Cruises today (July 14, 2021) opened an exclusive pre-sale on its World Cruise 2024, entitled ‘Far East-West.’ Responding to a burgeoning demand for extended voyages, the 132-day journey was designed by Silversea’s destination experts to broaden the horizons of even the most well-heeled travelers, connecting many immersive experiences throughout the Pacific Ocean. In total, guests will visit 65 destinations across 14 countries, including 40 new destinations for a Silversea World Cruise. Plus, 23 overnight stays will unlock deeper cultural immersion.

Hosted aboard the 388-guest Silver Shadow, the voyage will depart San Francisco on January 15, 2024. Travelers will journey from east to west, from one of the planet’s extremes to the other, on a round-trip itinerary that will encompass most of the Pacific Rim, from Hawaii and remote Pacific isles, to Australia and New Zealand, through Southeast Asia, China, Japan, and the Russian Far East, and back across the Pacific to Alaska, Canada, and California. The remote, volcanic Russian Far East and America’s wildly beautiful Alaska will feature for the first time on a Silversea World Cruise.

“Ultra-luxury travel is well and truly back and our guests have expressed a strong desire for longer cruises to faraway destinations, exemplified by the resounding success of our World Cruise 2023, which sold out on the day of its general opening,” says Roberto Martinoli. “Building on that momentum, our World Cruise 2024, ‘Far East-West,’ is designed to bring together some of the world’s most interesting and far-flung destinations in a meaningful way that lets guests experience the true joy of exploring the world again, while enjoying superlative comfort and luxury, and making lifelong friends.”

A CINEMATIC PREMIERE

Silversea today hosted an exclusive, virtual premiere of its World Cruise 2024 for selected guests and Travel Partners. Shot over three days at the famous Villa Arconati near Milan, a cinematic production, hosted by Fernando Barroso de Oliveira, Silversea’s President’s Ambassador to the Venetian Society, preceded a live Q&A session with Roberto Martinoli, President and CEO, Barbara Muckermann, Chief Commercial Officer, and Fernando.

“I am fortunate to have the privilege of coming together virtually with our world-cruising guests as we announced the array of unique discoveries that awaits them on the World Cruise 2024,” says Fernando. “It will be my pleasure to share this remarkable adventure with our extended family of returning Venetian Society members, as well as those curious travelers joining us for the first time.”

“We decided to unveil our World Cruise 2024 to members of our Venetian Society and Travel Partners by way of a cinematic extravaganza, in which our beloved Fernando took center stage to showcase this incredible itinerary, presenting the voyage’s highlights to a holographic version of himself,” says Barbara Muckermann, Silversea’s Chief Commercial Officer. “In a nod to our Italian heritage, we hired a beautiful, historic villa in the Italian countryside to surprise our guests and to emulate the elegance in which they will travel while on the World Cruise 2024.”
