In the Mediterranean, itineraries balance iconic destinations with lesser-known ports across Italy, Greece, France, Spain, and the Adriatic. There is a sense of familiarity in these regions, but also the opportunity to experience them differently through unparalleled destination knowledge, as well as access to quieter harbours and coastal towns, creating a more considered pace of travel.

From cultural discovery in the Mediterranean to nature-led exploration in Alaska, Silversea delivers seamless, ultra-luxury journeys designed for seasoned travellers.
For seasoned travellers, the appeal of a journey lies not in how much ground is covered, but in how deeply a place is experienced. With Silversea, travel is shaped around that idea. Each voyage is designed to be immersive, unhurried, and seamlessly comfortable, whether along the Mediterranean coast or through the landscapes of Alaska.
A key part of this experience is Silversea’s Sea and Land Taste (S.A.L.T.) programme. Rather than treating dining as a standalone feature, S.A.L.T. connects guests more closely to each destination through its culinary traditions. This may take the form of curated experiences, market visits with local experts, or menus on board that reflect regional ingredients and techniques. It adds a layer of cultural context that extends beyond the expected highlights.
In contrast, Alaska offers a very different kind of journey. Here, the focus shifts to nature on a grand scale: Glaciers, unspoiled nature, and wildlife are what define the experience. Ultimately, what sets Silversea apart are the Shore experiences available for guests, allowing them to go off the beaten track along explorers' routes and enjoying guided insights that deepen the experience.
Onboard, the emphasis is on space and ease. All accommodations are suite-based, with ocean views and, in many cases, private verandas. The atmosphere is calm and uncrowded, supported by one of the highest space-to-guest ratios at sea. This allows for a more relaxed rhythm throughout the journey.
What's more, Silvesea takes all-inclusive to the next level. Every suite includes butler service, with attention that is consistent, but never intrusive. From arranging in-suite dining to anticipating personal preferences, the experience is designed to feel intuitive rather than formal. Dining is similarly well considered. From food to premium drinks, multiple venues offer a range of options, with an emphasis on quality and variety.
With a deep understanding of destinations, all-inclusive experiences, and a wealth of activities both on and off board, Silversea offers a more measured way to explore the world – one that combines access, comfort, and depth, while allowing each destination to be experienced at its own pace.
