Silversea has unveiled its 2028-2029 Voyage Collection, comprising 278 voyages to 497 destinations across 71 countries, including the brand’s most extensive Mediterranean expedition programme yet.

The expedition is led by a five-ship deployment - Silver Ray, Silver Nova, Silver Dawn, Silver Spirit and Silver Shadow – calling at both marquee destinations and smaller ports.

On the lineup front, Silversea has introduced more than 120 new or returning ports of call, alongside new deployments in the Mediterranean and Northern Europe, among other new additions.

Among the headline additions is the cruise line's largest-ever Mediterranean Expedition programme, with Silver Wind sailing new itineraries through the Adriatic, Greek Isles and North Africa.

The collection also includes the Grand Mediterranean Voyage 2028 aboard Silver Dawn, departing 23 September 2028 and visiting over 50 destinations across 13 countries. Guests can expect access to exclusive curated events, including a Papal experience in Rome during an overnight call in October 2028.

In Northern Europe, Silver Nova will make its inaugural season, sailing Norway's Heritage Fjords alongside Silver Spirit, while Silver Spirit will also debut in Canada and New England.

Silversea is also expanding its Antarctica Fly Cruise programme, which begins with a stay at The Cormorant at 55 South in Puerto Williams, Chile, before guests fly directly into Antarctica by private charter, bypassing the Drake Passage. A total of 41 Antarctica departures are scheduled across Silver Cloud, Silver Endeavour and Silver Wind.

Across the collection, itineraries have been timed around major cultural events including the Monaco Grand Prix, Japan's summer matsuri (festivals), Scandinavian midsummer celebrations and Europe's grape harvest season. More than 50 overnight stays have also been incorporated.

The programme continues to feature Silversea's destination-focused S.A.L.T. (Sea And Land Taste) culinary experiences, with new experiences launching in Japan and the Caribbean, alongside pre-, mid-, and post-cruise extensions designed as intimate small-group experiences by local experts.
