SILVERSEA guests have embarked on ‘The Curious and the Sea’: the cruise line’s 2026 world cruise, which will travel over 140 days, visiting almost 60 destinations across 30 countries.
Silver Dawn departs today from Fort Lauderdale, with the cruise beginning after an evening of celebration at an exclusive ‘Bon Voyage’ event at The Boca Raton, a luxury resort and club on Florida’s Gold Coast.
The party featured a 1920s theme, inspired by the resort’s 100-year anniversary, with guests donning flapper fashion and enjoying music of the jazz age.
World cruise guests will first set sail for Central America, toward Ecuador and Peru, through the Panama Canal.
Easter Island, French Polynesia, and the South Pacific will follow, with guests exploring New Zealand and taking part in a semi-circumnavigation of Australia – a first on a Silversea world cruise.
Guests will then explore Southeast Asia, crossing the Bay of Bengal to Sri Lanka and India, before delving into South Africa and Africa’s west coast, then ending in Lisbon on 27 May.
Bespoke events will include ‘Polynesian Dreams’ in French Polynesia, which will see guests sample local flavours and learn traditional dances; and ‘The Magic of Mystery Island’ in Vanuatu, offering passengers a glimpse of regional dance rituals, fresh island cuisine, and a chance to snorkel in crystal-clear waters
Guests will also enjoy performances by the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, recognised as one of the world’s best dance bands, who will come on board during the West Africa segment of the voyage.
The cruise includes additional enrichments, such as a partnership with world-class guest chefs, bringing culinary diversity through the introduction of bespoke tasting menus and experiences, such as S.A.L.T. Talks and S.A.L.T. Lab classes.
These will take place across a number of ports of call, such as Lima, Melbourne, and Singapore.
“With ‘The Curious and the Sea,’ we have created a journey that celebrates the essence of exploration,” president Bert Hernandez said.
“From exclusive cultural celebrations to extraordinary culinary moments, this voyage is designed to spark curiosity and deepen connections with the world’s diverse cultures and landscapes, all delivered with the personalised service that defines Silversea,” he added. MS
