Luxury cruise line to operate 71 voyages across 95 destinations, with year-round presence in the Mediterranean through November 2026

Silversea Cruises has kicked off its most ambitious Mediterranean deployment to date, marking a significant milestone in luxury cruising. With the departure of Silver Ray from Lisbon on April 15, 2025, the brand will operate 71 Mediterranean cruise voyages across 95 destinations — the largest-ever season in Silversea’s history.

The 2025-2026 Mediterranean cruise season will see five Silversea ships — Silver Ray, Silver Muse, Silver Dawn, Silver Whisper, and Silver Spirit — offering a wide range of luxury cruise itineraries. For the first time, Silversea will maintain a year-round Mediterranean cruise presence, with Silver Muse sailing in the region until November 2026.

Silversea’s small luxury ships will access both iconic cities and hidden gems not typically reached by larger vessels, such as Saint Tropez, Sete, Monopoli, Seville, and Menton. Sample itineraries include:

– Silver Muse – Athens roundtrip exploring the Greek Isles (Oct 17–25, 2025)
– Silver Ray – Monte Carlo to Rome (Oct 31–Nov 7, 2025)
– Silver Dawn – Lisbon to Lisbon including Madeira and Canary Islands (Nov 26–Dec 8, 2025)

A standout feature of Silversea’s Mediterranean cruises is the award-winning S.A.L.T. (Sea and Land Taste) culinary program, offering guests immersive food and wine experiences. Highlights include wine pairing lunches in Tuscany, exclusive barrel tastings in Andalusia, and Provençal farm-to-table dining near Marseille.

According to Bert Hernandez, President of Silversea, “Our guests’ enduring love for the Mediterranean has inspired this record-setting deployment. With five ships across various classes, Silversea offers unmatched access and authenticity in the region.”

With ultra-luxury service, destination-rich itineraries, and culinary depth, Silversea Cruises continues to set the benchmark for luxury Mediterranean cruise travel.
