Ready for the Knife

Silversea's Silver Spirit arrived at Dubai this morning at the end of an eight-night cruise from Mumbai. When passengers disembarked, the 36,000-ton ship left for Palermo where it has a date with the welder's torch (as well as other unspeakable instruments) at the Fincantieri shipyard on March 5 that will run until May 1.

The complete story appeared in the February 22 edition of Cruise News Daily.
