The line launched its Legends of Cruising voyage last month to a “marked” increase in early interest - its strongest for five years.
Over 140 days, Silver Whisper will become the first to visit all seven continents during a single cruise, taking in some 60-plus ports across more than 30 countries.
Already, the ship’s Owner’s Suites, worth £380,000 per booking, have sold out, Silversea told TTG this week. Bookings start from £49,000pp.
The voyage is unique in so much as it is the first to offer Antarctic expeditions in the itinerary. It will also be the first to traverse the Northern and Southern fjords.
“With larger cruise lines significantly reducing their capacity on world cruises – Silversea is becoming the prime choice for world cruisers looking for real in depth destination experiences” said Peter Shanks, Silversea managing director UK and Ireland.
He added bookings so far showed the growing demand for “once-in-a-lifetime luxury travel experiences”.
Silversea has also announced its 2018 and 2019 itineraries will feature 40 new destinations.
