Life’s best travel moments are rarely planned: the festival that erupts around you, the harbour only a small ship can slip into, the continent you assumed was out of reach. Silversea has built its new 2028-2029 Voyage Collection around exactly those moments, with 278 voyages to 497 destinations across 71 countries, sailing between March 2028 and March 2029.
Spanning six to 60 days across all seven continents, the collection follows hot on the heels of Silversea’s 2029 World Cruise reveal and doubles down on what the luxury line does best: intimate ships, immersive experiences, and itineraries timed to the moments that matter.
From Japan’s summer festivals to Scandinavia’s midsummer celebrations, voyages align with seasonal highlights and marquee cultural events, while new S.A.L.T. culinary voyages, new European expeditions and an elevated Antarctica journey give your clients plenty of fresh reasons to book.
Arrive when the world comes alive
The headline act of the new collection is timing. Silver Ray sails the Italian and French Rivieras as the Monaco Grand Prix draws crowds into the principality, while Silver Whisper spends summer 2028 under Japan’s festival skies, calling in for Kyoto’s Gion Matsuri, Aomori’s Nebuta Festival and Tokushima’s famous Awa Odori dance festival.
In Europe, dedicated grape harvest voyages trace the Atlantic coasts of France, Spain and Portugal in the golden hush of autumn, pairing vineyard visits and cooking workshops with onboard harvest feasts.
Silversea’s S.A.L.T. (Sea and Land Taste) program goes deeper again, with brand new S.A.L.T. culinary voyages drawing travellers into local food traditions ashore and afloat.

Anzac Day at Gallipoli’s doorstep
For Australian and New Zealand travellers, one date stands out. Silver Dawn will be in Canakkale, the gateway to the Gallipoli Peninsula, on Anzac Day 2028.
Few moments in travel carry more weight on this side of the world, and arriving by sea, as so many did in 1915, makes it all the more poignant.
Small ports, big discoveries
True to its “Small Ports. Authentic Discovery” promise, Silversea’s smaller ships slip into harbours the big ships simply can’t reach, from Monemvasia in Greece to Brindisi, the gateway to Puglia.
In the Mediterranean, a five-ship deployment led by Silver Nova and Silver Ray pairs boutique ports with overnight stays in icons including Istanbul, Venice, Monte Carlo and Palma de Mallorca, so clients can linger long after the day-trippers leave.
Silver Nova also makes her first foray into Northern Europe, sailing Norway’s heritage fjords alongside Silver Spirit, while travellers with time on their side can book the 60-day Mediterranean Grand Voyage aboard Silver Dawn: 50 destinations across 13 countries between September and November 2028, complete with exclusive shoreside events.
Europe, the expedition way

The collection also brings expedition-style discovery to Europe’s most familiar waters. New Mediterranean expedition voyages aboard Silver Wind explore the volcanic vineyards of Pantelleria, the sea caves of Milos and the whitewashed lanes of Folegandros, best experienced up close at water level by Zodiac and kayak.
Further north, a new Baltic program aboard Silver Endeavour reveals a quieter Europe: Rauma, Scandinavia’s largest unified wooden town and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, plus the wild, birdlife-rich islands of Finland’s Archipelago National Park.
Antarctica made seamless
With 41 Antarctica voyages in the collection, including Christmas and New Year’s Eve departures, the White Continent has never been more accessible in comfort.
Guests can fly the notorious Drake Passage in as little as a six-day itinerary aboard Silver Endeavour, and Fly Cruise journeys are further elevated by a stay at The Cormorant at 55 South, The Southernmost Hotel on Earth, at the far edge of Chile.
Fly, cruise and stay: three words that turn the world’s wildest destination into a remarkably easy sell.
Closer to home

Australia gets its own expedition spotlight, with Silver Cloud sailing 10-day Kimberley Coast voyages plus a 17-day Kimberley and Western Australia deep-dive.
Silver Cloud then heads into the South Pacific for expeditions spanning Easter Island, French Polynesia and Fiji, while Silver Whisper offers classic sailings through Bora Bora and Moorea for clients chasing warm, tropical perfection with fewer crowds.
As Silversea puts it, the world will always surprise you when you let it. With 278 new ways to prove the point, the 2028-2029 Voyage Collection gives your clients every reason to find out for themselves.
