I cruised down the west coast of Africa with armed commandos on board, all lights out, water gums etc and probably a lot more guns onboard due to piracy. I have done a lot of risky travels in my 50 years of travels. this trip is just another travel issue which I did not initially want, but will deal with. I could walk out of my home and get hit by a car or a mass shooting. Life is to be lived and not in fear and that is my own personal opinion. Dont need comment about my opinions please. After again talking to SS they have my safety on the ship.

I phones SS again today and spoke to a Supervisor asking how SS will keep us safe, and the lady said Ss is still confident going thru the area and have been OK going thru the Red Sea even after the war and expect no changes and we will be notified if any changes. Well that is feeling really great as a lot of us have committed to airfares and tours and we can get to Aqaba and ??

Great questions but Silversea can only answer these questions. Not sure if anyone on the board has called Silversea lately and talked with a supervisor or manager..

https://www.cruisemapper.com check this website as you will see there are no other cruises sailing in the Red Sea. Follow the Silversea Moon in the next days

Silver Moon is on its way to Aqaba, just left Athens https://www.cruisemapper.com/?imo=9838618

choice. not sure why this forum edits messages

I am going to enjoy the cruise as I think it's going to happen as I have no other joice . SS have always been fabulous and will enjoy this.

KauiJim do you know the reason why they are changing the itinerary Muscat to Dubai. I am on the full 20 day sailing from Aqaba to Dubai, but thought only the Aqaba to Muscat was the problem. Receiving a change of itinerary in the new year would be very disappointing, as I will already be in Jordan and then not be possible to change travel plans.

has anyone on the 22 Dec and 06 January sailings phoned Silversea.

thankfully now we have clarity. I gave my Jordan Pass, and other visas. and I look forward to do the 20 day cruise from Aqaba. I will be traveling solo as my travel companion opted out due to safety issues. But I am looking forward to this trip. Any others on this site who would like to get together on day one would be lovely. Happy hour, 6 pm ??

I read this on a Facebook Silversea Passengers Group, not sure if its for real but wrote an email to the email address mentioned ?? "I am booked on a Silver Sea Cruise. Any suggestions on how to reach CEO Barbara Muckermann. ? Can’t find an email address or phone contact. I would appreciate any help. Barbara Muckermann Barbaram@silversea.com please feel free to email me anytime! "

did you get anything in writing. I still have not received any of this info. only verbal info on the phone that itinerary will change

I am not sure why your letter is mentioning Aqaba when your cruise of Jan 26 is not even going to Aqaba ?????

My travel agent called SS on Monday and Tuesday and still SS are denying any itinerary change for 06 January sailing. It's really upsetting as we cannot make any plans. I have already cancelled my pre cruise Jordan Tour and wont get any refund for the deposit. Airlines tickets cant be refunded etc

It will be interesting to know if now after 22 Nov cut off date for your cruise to get at least 25% refund of before 30 day sailing to get any sort of refund if SS will notify you of any itinerary changes. It seems weird that 06 January your disembarkation is Aqaba and our embarking in Muscat on 06 Jan for next cruise. . It’s really disturbing we cannot get clear answers from SS

Yes it’s really upsetting that SS are giving so many mixed messages. I was told on phone now 2 calls with SS that we are to know this week re itinerary change via an official notice. I doubt that will happen today. Checking my travel insurance n credit card insurance the change of itinerary will not be covered. And there is only a few more days to personally cancel trip to still get 25% back of cruise fare.

Please advise what they offered and told u as my travel agent keeps denying any change Silversea is a 6 star cruise line but the service now is so inferior.

We too have pre cruise tour booked for Jordan. The agent on the phone took a long time to go thru info and he said it was decided 6 days ago but no information about the ports of call. I am booked on the 20 day cruise from Aqaba to Dubai. Agent advised that passengers should receive some info within the week, he thought. 🥲

Silversea told me on phone today that cruise will not be departing from Aqaba but now from muscat. But agent said no itinerary was known yet for this Jan 06 cruise. Do any other passenger on this cruise know more.
