(Monaco – December 3, 2020) Silversea Cruises, the leading ultra-luxury cruise line, has opened a pre-sale on five pioneering Grand Voyages as part of its new collection of voyages for 2022-2023. Offering guests extended, immersive voyages throughout Europe, the Pacific, and South America, the Grand Voyages highlight Silversea’s largest-ever itinerary release, which comprises 315 voyages calling in 669 destinations in 114 countries.

With an unprecedented range of experiences on offer, the five Grand Voyages have been curated by Silversea’s destination experts to link the most remarkable cultures, landscapes and experiences around the world. And with roundtrip air—including business-class upgrades in select destinations—and at least one shore excursion in each port of call, per day, included on all voyages in Silversea’s new 2022-2023 collection*, travellers will enjoy unprecedented convenience as they travel deeper into the world.

Silversea’s five new Grand Voyages for 2022-2023 include:

• SILVERSEA’S FIRST-EVER EUROPEAN GRAND VOYAGE – 72 destinations in 22 countries
Connecting the Mediterranean Grand Voyage and the Northern Europe Grand Voyage for those in search of a longer, more immersive discovery of the Old Continent, Silversea’s first-ever European Grand Voyage will depart from Piraeus (Athens) on March 30, 2022. Travelling aboard Silver Moon, Silversea’s guests will explore 72 destinations in 22 countries over 90 days, enjoying seven exclusive events and eight overnights in iconic cities—including Istanbul, Sorrento, Bordeaux and Saint Petersburg, among others—before arriving in Stockholm on June 28.

• AN ALL-NEW MEDITERRANEAN GRAND VOYAGE – 33 destinations in 12 countries
Between March 30 and May 6, guests travelling aboard Silver Moon on the Mediterranean Grand Voyage will enjoy bespoke discovery in 33 destinations across 12 countries—including Greece, Turkey, Albania, Montenegro, Croatia, Italy, Slovenia, Malta, France, Monaco, Spain, and Portugal. Between Piraeus (Athens) and Lisbon, travellers will venture deep into Europe’s captivating cultures in both iconic ports and smaller, lesser-visited gems, including Portofino and Dikili. At exclusive events, guests will discover the fascinating 1001 column cisterns of Istanbul, the equestrian traditions and flavours of Andalusia in Cadiz, and the charm of Italy’s Agriturismo culture in Bari.

Setting sail on the world’s first Northern Europe Grand Voyage on May 6, 2022, Silversea’s guests will journey from Lisbon to Stockholm over 53 days, calling in 40 destinations in 13 countries aboard Silver Moon. From the milder setting of Lisbon on the Atlantic Coast, travellers will venture to some of the most remote, extreme destinations of the northern hemisphere. As well as diving deep into the cultures of Portugal, Spain, France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Iceland, the Faroe Islands, Norway, Denmark, Estonia, the Russian Federation, Finland, and Sweden, guests will socialise while enjoying unique access to bespoke events at Monet’s garden in Giverny, Liverpool’s iconic town hall, Iceland’s renowned Flatey Island (often hailed as the world’s most spectacular island), and the opera house of Oslo.

• AN IMMERSIVE PACIFIC GRAND VOYAGE – 31 destinations in eight countries
Over 58 days from January 16, 2023, travellers on the Pacific Grand Voyage will discover authenticity in 31 of the region’s most rewarding destinations, with seven overnight calls. From Melbourne, the cruise line’s guests will travel through eight countries aboard Silver Muse—including Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, China, and Japan—before arriving in Osaka on March 15. In Hobart, Tasmania, guests will enjoy champagne and canapes as they journey upriver for a private dinner at the acclaimed Museum of Old and New Art, as well as an exclusive evening at the opera in Sydney, and a personalised event at Shanghai’s famous Lion restaurant.

• A NEW SOUTH AMERICA GRAND VOYAGE – 39 destinations in 23 countries
Circumnavigating South America, Silver Moon will sail roundtrip from Fort Lauderdale on the new South America Grand Voyage between January 6 and March 16, 2023. Over 69 days and with nine overnights, travellers will form deep connections with the continent’s most fascinating cultures and spectacular landscapes, as they explore 39 destinations in 23 countries. Socialising with like-minded travellers at bespoke events, guests will attend a private party at Valparaiso’s Casas del Bosque Winery, dance to the rhythm at the world-famous Rio de Janeiro carnival on extended calls, and enjoy a romantic evening under the stars on a private beach in St. Barts.
