Luxury cruise ship Silver Spirit called at the Port of Colombo yesterday. 
Under the ownership of the Lefebvre Family (Rome, Italy), Silver Spirit is operated by Silversea Cruises and Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. 

The local ground operations were managed by Micato India and Aitken Spence Travels.


Silver Spirit consists of 270 cabins and 412 crew members will be on board to serve the cruise guests. This luxurious cruise ship can carry 608 passengers (on double occupancy) and 648 (maximum passengers) onboard.  The 16-day voyage, operated under the theme ‘New Year cruise’, will call at the Port of Trincomalee on December 26, 2022.  Aitken Spence Travels will be offering an array of Sri Lankan shore excursions covering major cities and attractions across the voyage, allowing the visitors to explore and discover the goodness Sri Lanka has to offer.

During its time in Colombo, the tourists will be enjoying the taste of Ceylon Tea, the Colombo city walk, Temple of Kelaniya, unique shopping experiences coupled with live music and high tea.  The ship will then be docked at the Port of Trincomalee on the 26th, allowing the clients to bask and enjoy Eastern splendour of Sri Lanka. Leaving the Port of Trincomalee, Silver Spirit will be continuing its voyage across Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore. Silver Spirit will be the fourth cruise ship handled by Aitken Spence Travels in 2022, offering excursions exclusively to passengers in stepping ashore to explore the country.  Since November 16, the company has handled four ships with a combined number of 5000 guests who have come to Sri Lanka to experience the country’s hospitality and explore the wide range of excursions on offer. The Ports of Colombo, Hambantota and Trincomalee have been used for cruise calls and some of the captains have given incredible testimonials about how beautiful our ports are. Aitken Spence Travels is set to welcome 19 other cruise calls and end the cruise season by May 2023.
