Departing between March 15 and Dec. 9, Silversea’s new sailings will also coincide with some of the world’s most iconic events, from the Military Tattoo in Edinburgh to the Monaco Grand Prix and D-Day commemorations.
Also new will be the ability for guests to immerse themselves in culinary experiences ashore as part of the line’s S.A.L.T. (Sea and Land Taste) program.
The new 50-day Grand Voyage Mediterranean, which departs on Sept. 18, will visit 40 destinations in 12 countries, including 48 UNESCO sites, and will feature three overnight calls in Malaga, Livorno, and Istanbul.
The 2026 deployment will also feature an extended Med season (including both shoulder seasons) with six ships sailing 102 voyages. In Northern Europe and the British Isles, Silversea will offer two ships – Silver Dawn and Silver Spirit – sailing 25 voyages to 52 destinations.
From May to September, Silversea will sail two ships – Silver Moon and Silver Whisper – to Alaska for 30 voyages visiting 13 destinations including lesser visited ports such as Valdez. The line will also offer four Canada & New England fall foliage sailings between Sept. and Nov. 2026.
Most new bookings made on or before Oct. 31 benefit from Silversea’s “Save. Indulge. Explore.” Promotion, which provides savings of up to $3,000 per suite.
