Silversea Cruises announces, via its website, preliminary dates for the resumption of its cruises. The first scheduled cruise would be on the Silver Muse from Hong Kong to Sydney on October 10, 2020.

But Silversea will resume cruises even before this sailing. Silver Spirit will depart from Marseille, where it has been laid up, for a short season of Red Sea in conjunction with Saudi Arabian travel company Gozahid, which is now selling and marketing 3- and 4-night short cruises in the Red Sea. The first 3-night cruise is scheduled to take place on August 27 followed by first 4-night cruise on August 30. The last departure would be on October 22.

Three-night sailings will depart from the King Abdullah Port and call in Yanbu, while the 4-night sailing will call also at Neom.

39,519 gross ton Silver Spirit was built in 2009, but stretched and refurbished extensively two years ago. The ship has capacity for 608 guests.

The news first broke on the Silversea Passengers Facebook page.
