Silver Nova - November 2024 - Post 1

Silver Nova at Semarang, Indonesia on 3rd November 2024.

On 30th October I flew to Singapore to join the one year old Silver Nova of Silversea Cruises for an 18 day voyage to Cairns. This was the most comfortable ship I've ever sailed in and the food and service throughout were excellent. Silversea also provided an excellent door to door service with limo transfers. A fabulous cruise.

My very comfortable and large room at the Fairmont Hotel, Singapore, the day before joining the ship.

Raffles Hotel from my room.

The ship in Singapore on 31st October.

My beautiful, spacious cabin.

Breakfast in my cabin, delivered and set up by my butler. Full hot breakfast options were also available.

The ever-changing Singapore skyline as we sail from the port.

We had lovely hot and sunny weather for the whole trip.

At my deck office, in the shade by the pool bar.

The wonderful pool bar staff who looked after me royally, every day.

Lots of comfortable seating in the sun or shade, provided all round the ship.

Tasteful details everywhere.

Fabulous service everywhere.

The extremely hot and primordial Komodo Island. I stayed aboard by the pool bar rather than go dragon spotting.

At Benoa, Bali.

Darwin sunset.

Final stop - overnight in Cairns.

A refreshing glass of bubbles in the Qantas lounge before my flight home.
