Silversea Opens Sales on Over 160 New Ocean Voyages for 2026

Silversea, the leading experiential luxury and expedition travel brand, has opened general sales on a new collection of over 160 ocean voyages for 2026, set to call in over 150 destinations in 33 countries — including five maiden calls and 99 UNESCO World Heritage Sites.  

Departing between March 15th and December 9th, 2026, Silversea’s new sailings will journey in time with each region’s cultural heartbeat, coinciding with many of the world’s most iconic events and experiences – from the Military Tattoo in Edinburgh to the Monaco Grand Prix, the autumnal foliage season in Canada & New England, the D-Day Commemoration in Normandy, and more.  

Complementing a new Grand Voyage in the Mediterranean, shorter combinable voyages will offer the luxury of choice to both time-pushed travelers and those seeking longer, more immersive journeys, with back-to-back sailings calling in different destinations. Plus, for the first time, all Silversea ships will offer guests immersive culinary experiences ashore as part of the brand’s S.A.L.T. (Sea and Land Taste) culinary program. 

“Showcasing the range and depth of the experiences on offer with Silversea, we’re delighted to open general sales on over 160 new ocean voyages to more than 150 destinations for 2026,” said Bert Hernandez, president, Silversea. “Utilizing our destination expertise, honed over 30 years, we have curated these sailings to coincide with many of the world’s most iconic events and experiences, connecting guests with the beating cultural heartbeat of each region and providing the most enriching journeys available in experiential luxury travel. Among the voyage collection’s highlights, both of our new Nova-class ships, Silver Nova and Silver Ray, will welcome guests in the Mediterranean, undertaking 50 voyages to illustrate the authentic beauty of this iconic region in Silversea’s signature style.” 

THE GRAND VOYAGE MEDITERRANEAN 2026: 40 DESTINATIONS, 12 COUNTRIES, 48 UNESCO SITES 

Showcasing Silversea’s wealth of destination expertise in the Mediterranean, Silver Spirit will depart Lisbon on a 50-day Grand Voyage from September 18th, calling in 40 destinations in 12 countries. Traveling in the less busy shoulder season for an authentic experience, guests will have the chance to explore 48 UNESCO-listed sites, as well as enjoy three overnight calls in Malaga, Livorno, and Istanbul. From Lisbon, travelers will be immersed in the unique cultures of Casablanca and Tangier, enjoying milder temperatures at a favorable time of year, before journeying along the coast of Spain to Palamós, subsequently crossing to Majorca. Sète, Marseille, and Monte Carlo follow, before guests arrive in many of Italy’s most celebrated destinations – Rome, Naples, Amalfi, Sicily, and more. After an in-depth discover of the Adriatic, including calls in Dubrovnik, Split, Venice, Rijeka, Kotor, and other gems, Silver Spirit will set her course for the Greek Isles, before reaching Istanbul. The voyage will conclude in Piraeus (Athens) on November 7th. Guests traveling on the Grand voyage Mediterranean 2026 will be able to participate in two exclusive events ashore, enjoying deep immersion into the local culture in Istanbul and Florence in true Silversea style. In Istanbul, the city’s columned underground cisterns, dating back to the fourth century, will play host to a curated evening of classical music and a sumptuous dinner. An overnight journey into the heart of Tuscany, meanwhile, will hark back to the Renaissance period, with explorations of iconic Pisa — with its leaning tower — and charming Florence. Guests will explore the Uffizi, admiring artworks by Botticelli and Michelangelo, the Ponte Vecchio, and the Duomo, before sitting down to sample fine cuisine in a luxurious setting.    

THE MEDITERRANEAN: SIX SHIPS, 102 VOYAGES, 79 DESTINATIONS 

Part of an extended Mediterranean season that includes both shoulder seasons, both Silver Nova and Silver Ray — Silversea’s new Nova-class ships — will be among six of the brand’s vessels to sail in the Mediterranean in 2026. The two ships, which are garnering exceptional feedback from guests, will complete a combined total of 50 voyages. Undertaking short, combinable voyages, guests will visit smaller ports for a more authentic destination experience — including Saint Tropez, Portofino, and Rijeka — spending longer ashore in each destination for deeper immersion. Sports fans will have the opportunity to witness the famous Monaco Grand Prix, sailing aboard Silver Ray, on voyages that will be enhanced by Silversea’s pioneering S.A.L.T. culinary program. Wine will take center stage in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, where travelers can visit a Mallorcan family’s manor house and winery to sample wine like a local. From Monaco and Menton, culinary enthusiasts can sample the fine cuisine of celebrated chef Mauro Colagreco at Mirazur Restaurant, which holds three Michelin stars and formerly held the title of ‘world’s best restaurant’. Guests will also be able to try their hands at cheesemaking in Mykonos, sample rare barrel sherry at an 18th-century bodega in Cadiz, and spend time among the rolling hills of Tuscany, among other immersive experiences.    

NORTHERN EUROPE & THE BRITISH ISLES: TWO SHIPS, 25 VOYAGES, 52 DESTINATIONS 

Silver Dawn and Silver Spirit will undertake 25 voyages in Northern Europe and the British Isles between May and October 2026, calling in 52 destinations, including iconic capital cities and rarely visited treasures — from Stockholm, Helsinki, and Copenhagen to Ålesund and Rønne. European culture will come to the fore, with various S.A.L.T. culinary experience on offer throughout the continent, as well as sporting and historical highlights too. Grape harvesting season in France will enable oenophiles to delve into French viticulture, with an exclusive S.A.L.T. experience on offer in Bordeaux. Calls in historical destinations such as Rouen, St. Malo, St. Peter Port, Brugges, and Antwerp will ensure self-enrichment. In Normandy, guests will have the opportunity to attend the D-Day Commemoration, sample local calvados and cider, visit the Gardens of Monet, and travel to Paris. Other highlights of Silversea’s new 2026 deployment in Northern Europe and the British Isles will include a deep dive into culinary cultures of Riga and Rouen; access to Norway’s Folgefonna National Park, Lysefjord, and Pulpit Rock; and the opportunity to attend the Military Tattoo in Edinburgh.  

ALASKA: TWO SHIPS, 30 VOYAGES, 13 DESTINATIONS 

In Alaska, the Last Frontier, Silversea’s new 2026 offering will provide guests with more opportunities to connect with nature, admire glaciers, and engage meaningfully with the unique local culture in 13 destinations, traveling on 30 voyages between May and September 2026. Silversea’s intimate ships Silver Moon and Silver Whisper — the most intimate vessel to sail in Alaska — will access smaller destinations, including Valdez, offering short, combinable voyages for greater flexibility and the choice of even deeper immersion. Highlight experiences will include accessing the Mendenhall Glacier on foot; wildlife spotting on a custom-designed viewing vessel in Stephen’s Passage, Juneau; and journeying deeper ashore on pre- and post-cruise programs, from Denali National Park to a tour of the Canadian Rockies aboard the legendary Rocky Mountaineer. Silversea’s leading culinary offering will enhance the destination experience for guests, with S.A.L.T. excursions ashore and, on Silver Moon, a range of Alaska-inspired S.A.L.T. enrichments on board.  

CANADA & NEW ENGLAND: A SLOWER PACE OF TRAVEL ABOARD SILVER SHADOW 

Perfectly timed to coincide with the dazzling display of fall foliage, Silver Shadow will sail on four voyages in Canada and New England between September and November 2026, showcasing the vibrant colors of 10 destinations in the Saguenay Fjord and the rugged coastline of Nova Scotia. Offering a more intimate and exclusive destination experience, Silver Shadow will access smaller ports such as Charlottetown — the capital of Canada’s Prince Edward Island. Enjoying deep explorations of iconic cities such as Portland, Boston, and Halifax, guests will travel at a relaxed pace with longer stays in port and days at sea, enabling them to unwind on board between experiences ashore.
