Mike and I are now onboard our cruise ship “The Silver Muse” and, at the time of writing, we are in the Tasman Sea en route to the Bay of Islands on the North Island of New Zealand.

Silversea cruises offer an all-inclusive experience for their guests with routes to all seven continents.

Before showing you around our suite, let me give you some statistics of our ship; it has a passenger capacity of some 596, a crew of 411 and 298 suites each with a veranda and a personal butler!
