Silversea appoints Moss Hills as cruise director for its 132-day Far East-West World Cruise in 2024.
The voyage aboard the Silver Shadow will depart from San Francisco on January 15, 2024, embarking on an east-west round trip that will cover most of the Pacific Rim. Popular with guests, the cruise director joined Silversea in 2014 and has since sailed to all seven continents with the brand. The Far East-West World Cruise 2024 will mark his first global voyage with the company.
“We are delighted to have Moss Hills, a very popular senior officer and a favorite among our Venetian Society guests, as our Cruise Director for our Far East-West World Cruise 2024,” said Barbara Muckermann, President of Silversea.
“Moss's skills and talents make him the perfect host for this once-in-a-lifetime voyage, and we are confident that our guests will enjoy his company while benefiting from such a valuable addition to our onboard team. Moss joins a distinguished group of senior officers, including Captain Michele Macarone Palmieri; Flavio Gioia, Hotel Director; and Julio Miranda, Associate Hotel Director.”
“ Although I have been with Silversea for almost a decade, this will be my first World Cruise, and it will be a great honor for me to serve as Cruise Director for the entirety of such an extraordinary voyage, hosting our guests for the trip of a lifetime ,” Hills said .
“There's a special sense of camaraderie that develops on these longer cruises, and I'm looking forward to reuniting with familiar faces, especially our Venetian Society guests who return year after year, and making new friends. In particular, I'm eager to return to Japan with Silversea, one of my favorite places in the world.”
Moss Hills was born and raised in Zimbabwe, Africa, and moved to South Africa in his twenties to pursue a career as a professional musician. There he married his wife Tracy, and they began performing as a duo on cruise ships around the world.
In 2014, he joined Silversea as Cruise Director. Hills is very popular with Silversea guests and often entertains them with his musical talents, performing guitar and saxophone.
From Hawaii and the Pacific Islands to Australia and New Zealand, Southeast Asia, Japan, Alaska, Canada and California, Silversea's Far East-West World Cruise 2024 promises an immersive experience in Pacific Rim destinations, with tailor-made events and a variety of upgrades.
Silversea's 136-day World Cruise Controtempo follows in 2025, inviting guests to travel unconventionally to 59 destinations in 30 countries across four continents.
The brand's most diverse global journey, a 140-day cruise for 2026 entitled "The Curious and the Sea," is inspired by the same curiosity that led the great explorers to sail to unknown lands.
