Silver Muse docks in Nanaimo for temporary stay ahead of Alaska cruises
NANAIMO — It’s not loaded with passengers but the arrival of a cruise ship in local waters still turned heads over the weekend.
The 213 metre long Silver Muse, owned by Silversea Cruises, arrived in Nanaimo on Sunday, May 1, taking a berth at the Port of Nanaimo for a two week stay to “perform a limited operation maintenance call,” according to the Port.
On board are some crew as they await a trip to Alaska to open their season May 19, shuttling between Seward, Alaska and Vancouver.
The vessel will make trips around the south and western portions of Vancouver Island, to and from Alaska, until September when it will transition over to China, Japan, Australia and New Zealand for the southern hemisphere summer.
