After a Gala Dinner in San Francisco where we met a record number of World Cruisers (240), it was time for the 2019 World Cruise to start. As this is our 8th Silversea World Cruise in a row, it’s amazing how many of the passengers we know already – the cruise already has something of the feel of a big reunion.
Just to remind everyone why it is we head away from winter in the Northern Hemisphere, the weather in San Francisco was atrocious – absolutely tipping it down and strong frigid winds blowing in. Hopefully those winds will die down once we’re in the Pacific, because we have seven days at sea before we hit dry land!
