Owner’s Suite SILVERMUSE , SILVERSEA CRUISES

Delivered in spring 2017, Silver Muse is the new flagship vessel of Silversea’s boutique fleet. Smaller than most cruise ships, accommodating just 596 guests, Silver Muse can easily sail upriver and dock where other ships can’t, while also offering a more intimate onboard experience. By day, check out the exhibitions of paintings and sculptures hosted by the Arts Cafe, laze by the open-air pool and indulge in a treatment at the spa before finding a quiet corner to read in Tor’s Observation Library. When evening comes around, dine on tapas-style plates at Silver Note and Japanese specialties at Kaiseki; see the sun go down from open-air restaurant The Grill; or enjoy the bespoke menus of world-class Relais & Châteaux chefs at La Dame by Relais & Châteaux. After dinner, mingle in the Dolce Vita cocktail lounge and Connoisseurs Corner, try your luck in the casino or catch musical and theatrical productions, as well as feature films in the Venetian Lounge. Silver Muse has the fleet’s most luxurious suites yet, including the stylish one-bedroomOwner’s Suite, with the option to add a second bedroom. In this serenely styled suite, the two bedrooms are met with a walk-in closet, marble bathroom, light-filled living roomwith sea-facing seating area, separate dining area and writing desk with personalized stationery. Floor-to-ceiling windows lead out to the spacious teak veranda, where you can have breakfast over the ocean and watch the sunset with a glass of champagne. Silversea’s chairman, Manfredi Lefebvre d’Ovidio, added his own personal touch by curating the suite’s books, artwork and vintage port collection. Incredible itinerary Among Silver Muse ’s immersive Asia itineraries is the 13-day Tokyo-to- Tokyo voyage. Join the cruise in April 2019 to see Japan in the midst of cherry blossom season. As the ship circumnavigates this culturally rich country, she’ll stop by coastal cities, such as Kagoshima on Kyushu and Hakodate in Hokkaido, as well as hopping over to Busan in South Korea.
