Silversea has revealed a lineup of new sailings within its 2028/29 deployment, including new S.A.L.T. Culinary Voyages and a South America circumnavigation. Many of the itineraries are timed to the world’s most iconic cultural moments from Carnival in Venice and Rio de Janeiro to New Year’s Eve in Funchal and Sydney. New S.A.L.T. Culinary Voyages are built around Europe’s truffle season and Southeast Asia’s market.
Spanning September 2028 to May 2029, the program comprises 103 voyages across 219 destinations in 56 countries, including 29 new ports of call across the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, Asia, Australia and New Zealand, and South America. General sales open on October 8, 2026.
“Our Voyage Collection 2028-2029 offers industry-leading depth across every region,” said Bert Hernandez, president, Silversea. “Guests can select a voyage designed around a culinary season through our new S.A.L.T. Culinary Voyages, take on an entire continent aboard Silver Nova during Grand South America 2029, or spend an afternoon on the exclusive island of Canouan, where our Destination Experience carries guests from a Carnival welcome to a beachside celebration.”
New S.A.L.T. Culinary Voyages
Three Wine & Truffle sailings will take guests across Italy and Spain aboard Silver Dawn from October through December, tracing the truffle trail from Livorno, gateway to Tuscany, to Palamos, on the edge of Catalonia’s truffle country, with truffle-hunting excursions, guided vineyard tours, and onboard tastings and chef programming.
Four Asian Markets sailings aboard Silver Muse will journey between Singapore and Hong Kong, with shore excursions led by local food experts, chef-led market tours, and visits to hawker stalls and street food destinations.
Silver Moon and Silver Muse will together complete 26 Asia voyages between September 2028 and May 2029, calling at 62 destinations across 11 countries. The collection adds eight new ports, including Yeosu, Hitachinaka, Miyako-jima, Vigan, Muara, Sihanoukville, Makassar, and Maizuru (Kyoto), and introduces Kobe and Bali as new turnaround ports, expanding how guests can combine itineraries.
Grand South America 2029 Voyage
Silver Nova will host the Grand South America 2029 voyage, a 75-night round-trip circumnavigation of the continent departing Fort Lauderdale on Jan. 13, 2029, and returning March 29, 2029. The voyage includes a Panama Canal transit, scenic cruising of the Antarctic Peninsula, and overnight stays in Manaus, Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, Callao (Lima), and Cartagena.
Other notable features of the new deployments are a two-ship Mediterranean deployment totaling 17 sailings aboard Silver Nova and Silver Dawn, a New Year’s Eve overnight in Sydney aboard Silver Moon, and a full-day at Canouan, a secluded island within St. Vincent and the Grenadines, featuring a Carnival welcome and a beachside soiree.
The full-day at Canouan is part of the line’s four-ship Caribbean and Central America deployment, spanning 38 voyages between November 2028 and March 2029, calling at 34 destinations around 21 countries.
