[Jaffa]

Asia Pacific Vice Pres Steve Odell announced today that Silversea will be opening their own company regional office and sales team in Sydney.

 

He said the present contractual arrangements with the Australasian agents (Wiltrans and Cruise Brokers) selling Silversea products would end at the end of April and would not be renewed. He thanked them for there help in growing and representing the Silversea brand And for there continued support.

 

Mr Odell said the move to direct representation continues Silversea's distribution growth world wide.

He said the growth is now so substantial in Australia and South Asia that we need to take control of our day to day operations directly.

 

This will see Silversea as the only luxury brand with direct company board representation south of the equator.

Australia will become a very important strategic part of Silversea's future plans and our expansion into the luxury expedition market, with the purchase of the first of several purpose built expedition vessels.

 

The new office will open in Spring Street in the Sydney CBD in the 2nd half of this year. A range of new positions for the new office will be advertised in Australian media in the coming weeks and select personnel will be re-located from the company's Florida office.
