Muse inspires Wellington

SILVERSEA celebrated the inaugural arrival of flagship Silver Muse into Wellington on Wed, as part of her second season in the region.

The ceremony was welcomed by Wellington Mayor Andy Foster, Tourism New Zealand acting GM New Zealand & Government Relations Billie Moore, CentrePort Chief Executive Derek Nind, CentrePort Marine Manager Charles Smith and CentrePort Cruise Manager Victoria Hodson.

In the midst of a 15-night Sydney to Auckland itinerary, the ship will overnight in New Zealand’s capital, before heading to Napier, Tauranga, and arriving at her final port of call.

Muse will call Wellington again on Tue, and remain in the region until the end of Mar.

Since her inaugural season in the region last year, Muse has upgraded its culinary offerings, now providing Ars Italica caviar, the largest complimentary wine list at sea, and chilled champagne in all suites prior to departure.

In Wellington, Silversea offers guests a number of optional excursions, such as nocturnal wildlife spotting and guided walking tours of the Zealandia Eco-Sanctuary.

“We are continuing to increase the range of unique destinations on offer to our guests and we are thrilled to add Wellington to Silver Muse’s itineraries,” said Managing Director Australia New Zealand Adam Armstrong.

“I have no doubt that our guests will be delighted with everything that Wellington has to offer as we showcase the very best of our region.

“We are absolutely committed to the growth of the Australia and New Zealand market.”
