Silversea’s new offering invites guests to discover a remarkable mix of civilisations, cultures and traditions in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, which have endured for thousands of years and continue to captivate curious travellers:

Following an overnight call in iconic Venice, guests travelling aboard the Grand Voyage Mediterranean 2021 will journey through the terracotta-tiled towns of Croatia, such as Split and Dubrovnik; discover the dramatic landscapes of Montenegro and the sun-soaked beached of Albania; and form authentic connections within the storied settlements of beautiful Greece.

Next, Silver Shadow will set sail for Turkey, where guests will journey deeper into Istanbul on an overnight call; Georgia, where travellers will discover the subtropical delights of Batumi; Russia, where the coastal jewel of Sochi awaits; Ukraine, by way of the classically charming Odessa; historic Romania; and beautiful Bulgaria. Combining the grace of ballet with the skill of military swordplay, talented locals will present a traditional cultural performance to travellers in Batumi’s Fountain Square. Odessa’s majestic opera house will evoke the days of Catherin the Great, as Silversea’s guests enjoy an operatic performance, canapes and champagne.

Calls in Livorno (Tuscany), Portofino, Monte Carlo, Marseille (Provence), and Valencia, as well as an immersion into the unique Balearic allure of Palma de Mallorca, will showcase the Mediterranean at its most glamorous. On an overnight call in Barcelona, travellers will dine on delicious tapas amongst the city’s famous Art Nouveau architecture. In Palma de Mallorca, travellers will explore the music of Chopin in the surrounds of the breathtaking Castell de Bellver at an outdoor piano performance.

• Unwind in La Estaca (El Hierro), the Island with Soul, on a Maiden Call.

They will travel deeper into the Canary Islands, developing authentic connections with Arrecife, Las Palmas, Santa Cruz de La Palma, and La Estaca on a maiden call.
