After departing Athens on 28 May, the 274-guest vessel is currently undertaking a collection of voyages to northern Europe and the British Isles, before reaching Reykjavik to begin a summer of Arctic sailings which includes a crossing of the Northwest Passage in August.

In October, Silver Wind will trace a path along the Pacific Coast of the US, Central America and Latin America, leading to Antarctica for its inaugural season in the White Continent.

Peter Shanks, the line’s UK and Ireland managing director, said: "I am incredibly proud to see all of our ships now welcoming guests around the world and in particular to see Silver Wind here in London in all her splendour.

"After what has been a challenging period for the global travel industry we are delighted to be leading the global return of ultra-luxury cruising. We have come back stronger than before with a more all-inclusive door-to-door service, three new ships and various product enhancements.”
