Grand Mediterranean

It all begins in the Mediterranean, where the past is always present. Come and experience a remarkable mix of civilisations, cultures and traditions, spanning a period of time that stretches from the early Roman empire all the way to the Renaissance. Thousands of years of history live on today in the region’s alleyways, piazzas, tavernas and cafés. You’ll feel the pull of history in Istanbul, at the edges of the Bosphorus, where you can spot Asia from the shores of Europe. You’ll hear its voice in Venice, as the songs of the gondoliers echo along the canals. You’ll experience its glory as you stand at the top of Mount Olympus, all of Athens at your feet. Welcome to the cradle of culture. Welcome back to the beginning of everything.

Authentic experiences. Simple pleasures. Shared moments. Silversea’s Millennium Class luxury cruise ships Silver Shadow and Silver Whisper offer you freedom and space to design your day. Slightly larger in size than ships Silver Cloud and Silver Wind, Silver Shadow retains Silversea’s essence – spacious suites, a complement of only 388 guests, superior service – paired with a lively cosmopolitan atmosphere and enhanced amenities. Aboard the Silver Shadow, energize body and soul with complimentary Pilates and yoga in the expanded fitness center. Savour fine wines and French gastronomy in La Dame, enjoy authentic Italian cuisine in La Terrazza, or simply gaze at endless ocean views from The Grill. Not forgetting the regional-inspired The Restaurant, dining at sea has never been so good.
