Silversea 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, some of Silversea’s new sailings will coincide 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 are designed for those looking for a shorter cruise, or those who wish to sail on back-to-back journeys.
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.
“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.”
