Luxury cruise and expedition line Silversea has launched its Winter 2028-29 Voyage Collection, featuring 103 new voyages across 219 destinations in 56 countries. Ranging from seven to 77 days, the collection offers travellers more opportunities than ever to explore the world through immersive cultural experiences, exceptional cuisine, and destination-rich itineraries.
A key highlight of the new collection is a series of Immersive Festivals and Events voyages, carefully timed to coincide with some of the world’s most iconic celebrations. Guests can ring in the New Year in destinations including Sydney, Funchal and Ho Chi Minh City, enjoying front-row views of the festivities from the comfort of Silversea’s intimate ships. Other standout itineraries will visit the renowned carnivals of Venice and Rio de Janeiro, delivering seamless access to these globally celebrated events.
The line’s acclaimed S.A.L.T. (Sea And Land Taste) programme also takes centre stage, with an expanded collection of S.A.L.T. Culinary Voyages. Building on the success of the Grape Harvest voyages launched in 2026, which immersed guests in the food, wine and traditions of France, Spain and Portugal, the new season introduces themed experiences in Europe and Asia.
New Wine & Truffle S.A.L.T. Culinary Voyages through Italy and France will invite guests to explore vineyard-covered landscapes, forage in forested regions alongside local experts, and discover historic wine cellars. Meanwhile, Asian Market S.A.L.T. Culinary Voyages between Singapore and Hong Kong will showcase the region’s vibrant food culture, from floating markets and bustling street food scenes to chef-led shore experiences and destination-inspired dining on board.
Also returning is one of Silversea’s most popular extended cruises, the Grand Voyage South America. Departing in January 2029 aboard Silver Nova, the 77-day itinerary will circumnavigate the continent, visiting 38 destinations. Guests will experience everything from colourful cities such as Cartagena to the dramatic landscapes of Patagonia and the breathtaking scenery of the Antarctic Peninsula.
Whether travellers are seeking winter sunshine in the Caribbean, a culturally enriching Mediterranean voyage, or an epic exploration of South America, Silversea’s latest collection offers a wealth of possibilities for luxury-minded guests.
Alongside the launch of its new voyage collection, Silversea is preparing to open The Cormorant at 55 South, a pioneering new hotel in Puerto Williams, Chile. Opening in October 2026, the property will become the southernmost hotel on Earth and marks a significant investment in enhancing the overall Antarctica travel experience.
For years, travellers embarking on Antarctica fly-cruise expeditions have enjoyed the comfort of a luxury voyage once on board, but the pre-cruise journey has often involved practical overnight stays and multiple travel connections. The Cormorant at 55 South aims to transform that experience.
Guests travelling on Silversea’s Antarctica Fly Cruise programme will begin their journey with an overnight stay in Santiago before departing from the city’s private terminal on an exclusive Silversea-chartered flight to Puerto Williams. After a night at The Cormorant at 55 South, guests will fly directly to King George Island, bypassing the often-challenging Drake Passage entirely.
The return journey includes a further stay at the hotel, ensuring comfort and consistency throughout the expedition experience. Designed to reflect Silversea’s signature standards of luxury and service, the property features spacious guest rooms with panoramic views, Latitude 55 restaurant serving regional cuisine crafted from locally sourced ingredients, and Bar Sur, where guests can enjoy cocktails inspired by Patagonia’s rich heritage.
Guests will also have the opportunity to explore the stunning landscapes surrounding Puerto Williams through a range of guided excursions showcasing the natural beauty of Chilean Patagonia.
By combining enhanced comfort, exclusive access and deeper destination immersion, The Cormorant at 55 South represents a significant evolution in luxury expedition travel, setting a new benchmark for journeys to Antarctica.
The Cormorant at 55 South is set to transform the Antarctica journey
