Silversea, the leading experiential luxury and expedition travel brand, has officially embarked on its Grand Voyage Mediterranean 2025 — a 55-day immersion through iconic cities such as Venice, Dubrovnik, and Naples, as well as hidden gems like Kotor and Trapani. From September 24th to November 18th, Silver Spirit will connect guests with 45 destinations across 12 countries, offering them a rare opportunity to explore the slower rhythm of the Mediterranean in the late summer.
“Our 45-destination Grand Voyage Mediterranean 2025 gives our guests the rare luxury of time to experience this iconic region like a local,” said Bert Hernandez, president, Silversea. “This journey has been thoughtfully curated for travelers who may have explored the Mediterranean before, but value a deeper understanding of its rich cultural heritage. This enriching voyage will enable them to uncover the region’s hidden gems, savor its diverse culinary traditions, and connect with its people in meaningful ways.”
FROM IBERIA TO THE ADRIATIC: A TAPESTRY OF CULTURE AND COASTLINE
The Grand Voyage Mediterranean 2025 onboard Silver Spirit begins with a 12-day exploration of the Iberian Peninsula, sailing from Lisbon to Gibraltar and through Spain’s coastal cities — including Malaga, Ibiza, and Valencia. Guests will then journey to the cultural wonders of Monaco and Italy, with explorations of Naples and the Amalfi Coast. From there, the itinerary leads to Croatia’s Adriatic jewels and toward the idyllic islands of Greece. The voyage concludes with a return to Italy and Spain, ending in the architectural wonder of Barcelona, home to Gaudí’s Sagrada Família.
Each of these destinations presents an opportunity for captivating cultural experiences, including highly immersive culinary offerings, private tours, and bespoke adventures. Guests seeking a taste of the region can take part in a S.A.L.T. Experience featuring a blend of Greek and Venetian influences in the island of Corfu, Greece, exploring the products, spices, and herbs unique to the area. Those journeying to witness the rich landscape, can hike through the Natural Park of Ses Salines, one of the most pristine areas of Ibiza, Spain, where numerous species of birds nest. Whether adventure or wonder, the Mediterranean’s timeless charm sets the stage for a journey of unforgettable discovery.
