FREO TODAY
Freo Today. 22 August 2025. Here’s the Silver Cloud departing Fremantle yesterday afternoon at 2 pm. She’s on a cruise to Darwin via the Abrolhos Islands and the Kimberley Coast. Should be fun.
Silver Cloud is operated by Silversea Cruises. Launched in 1994, it was the first ship in Silversea’s fleet. The ship has undergone significant renovations, with a major refurbishment completed in 2017 to enhance its capabilities for expedition cruising.
