Melbourne → Auckland | Silversea Silver Nova | Cruise Icon Reward Sailing
Heading off on something very special — the Silversea Silver Nova Cruise Icon sailing from Melbourne to Auckland! ✨🛳️
It took three flights to get here, but every minute was worth it.
✔️ Porter to Vancouver
✔️ Air New Zealand to Auckland
✔️ And finally on to Melbourne
Today, I’m boarding the Silver Nova, and I couldn’t be more excited.
This Cruise Icon reward sailing feels incredibly meaningful — a celebration of hard work, dedication, and the pure joy of doing what I love. And in the best “cruise world is small” fashion, the very first people we spotted at the port were Tony and Larry. A perfect sign that it’s going to be a fantastic voyage from the very start.
Even better? This journey is also our long-delayed (thank you, Covid!) celebration of Bill’s 60th birthday — an unforgettable adventure down under. ❤️🇦🇺🇳🇿
Here’s to beautiful moments, meaningful milestones, and a spectacular voyage ahead.
