Imagine beginning a new year by embarking on the voyage of a lifetime—one that invites you to savour every moment, immerse in rich cultures, and witness the world's wonders with unmatched intimacy. The newly announced Silversea World Cruise 2028 captures exactly that spirit. Departing from vibrant Miami on 5 January 2028, aboard the beautiful Silver Shadow, this extraordinary 132-day journey will redefine luxury world travel as it sails towards charming Nice, weaving through 58 destinations across 29 countries.
Designed by Silversea’s leading destination experts, this journey is thoughtfully divided into nine evocative "chapters". From the colourful energy of the Caribbean to the breathtaking fjords of Patagonia, across the mystical sands of Africa and into the ancient cradle of civilisation in the Middle East, each leg promises a fresh tapestry of experiences. Expect overnights in 17 ports, letting you soak in the local spirit long after the sun sets, and exclusive curated events that unfold only for Silversea’s privileged guests.
Highlights include a front-row seat to Rio de Janeiro’s legendary Carnival, private tours of Petra and Luxor, and even rare calls to hidden gems like Jost Van Dyke and St. Helena. True to the name “An Ode to the Moment,” this voyage invites you to truly connect — not rush — through the world’s greatest treasures.
Each chapter of this global odyssey feels like a new volume in a treasured book. "Anthem of the Tropics" celebrates the best of Caribbean vibrance, while "Reign of the Rainforest" plunges into the culinary and ecological marvels of South America, with exclusive S.A.L.T. (Sea and Land Taste) experiences along the way. Further south, "Lands of Fire and Ice" beckons adventurers with the raw beauty of Cape Horn and Patagonia, while "The Beat of Tradition" lets you dance amid the soul-stirring rhythms of Rio.
Crossing the Atlantic, "The Sands of Time" and "Nature in Verse" bring the mystery and majesty of Africa into focus, offering unforgettable wildlife encounters and vibrant coastal escapes. In the Arabian Peninsula, "Tales of Spice and Silk" unveils the timeless intrigue of Muscat, Dubai, and more—with options for once-in-a-lifetime overland journeys, including gorilla trekking in Rwanda. "The Ancient Realm" and "Echoes of Empires" guide you through ancient wonders and Mediterranean charm, ensuring the voyage concludes on the highest of notes.
Throughout the Silversea World Cruise 2028, Silver Shadow will be your luxurious haven. Known for offering one of the highest space-to-guest ratios at sea, Silver Shadow ensures every guest feels a profound sense of space and comfort. Every suite comes with a dedicated butler—there to anticipate your every need—and an impressive crew-to-guest ratio guarantees impeccable personalised service at every turn.
The ship’s design elegantly balances privacy with social spaces, including fine dining venues, a world-class spa, intimate lounges, and expansive outdoor decks perfect for sunset reflections. Silver Shadow’s smaller size allows access to ports that larger ships simply can’t reach, providing a richer, more nuanced experience of each destination.
Beyond the stunning itinerary itself, Silversea layers on unforgettable experiences. Guests will enjoy tailor-made overland tours, immersive S.A.L.T. culinary adventures, and exclusive World Cruise-only events like "A Garden of Moments" in Lima, a private Carnival experience in Rio, and a farewell celebration in the Mediterranean. These special touches ensure that every stage of the journey is elevated into a rare, memory-making moment.
