General sales open Oct. 8, following a preview for Venetian Society members that began Oct. 6.

Two ships in the Mediterranean

Silversea will deploy Silver Nova and Silver Dawn in the Mediterranean for 17 voyages between October 2028 and March 2029.

Together, the ships will visit 53 destinations in 12 countries, with new calls at Brindisi and Imperia.

Overnight stays are planned in Cadiz, Funchal, Fusina (Venice), Genoa, Istanbul, Livorno, Naples and Valletta.

Aboard Silver Dawn, overnight calls in Venice will give guests the opportunity to experience Carnival after dark, including an evening event inspired by Casanova.

Food will play a larger role in the new collection with the expansion of Silversea’s S.A.L.T. Culinary Voyages.

Three Wine & Truffle sailings aboard Silver Dawn will operate across Italy and Spain from October through December.

The itineraries will trace truffle regions from Livorno, the gateway to Tuscany, to Palamos near Catalonia’s truffle country. Programming will include truffle-hunting excursions, vineyard tours, onboard tastings and chef-led experiences.

Silversea is also adding four Asian Markets voyages aboard Silver Muse between Singapore and Hong Kong. Guests will be able to join local food experts and chefs for market tours, hawker stall visits and other street-food experiences.

Silversea is also introducing a special Destination Experience in Canouan, St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

The private beach day will begin with a Carnival-style welcome featuring local dancers and a steel band, followed by a beachside gathering with food, drinks and live music.

Silver Ray and Silver Spirit will also operate eight- to 12-day round-trip Miami voyages featuring St. Barts alongside destinations including Antigua, Anguilla and St. Kitts.
