MONACO — General sales have opened on Silversea Cruises’ new summer 2021 & winter 2021/2022 itineraries.

A total of 197 new voyages, which include calls to 528 destinations in 92 countries – 28 of which are maiden calls – will set sail between January 2021 and April 2022.

“The variety of experiences on offer is simply unparalleled and unprecedented within the industry: from the new Holy Land voyage to an enhanced overnight call in Monaco for the Monte Carlo Grand Prix, the highlights of our cruise line’s new 2021/2022 collection will appeal to all discerning travellers,” said Barbara Muckermann, Silversea’s Chief Marketing Officer.

Highlights of the new voyage collection include the following:

• Eastern Med: In summer 2021, Silver Dawn, Silver Moon, Silver Shadow and Silver Spirit will each offer the Eastern Mediterranean. Following high demand, travellers will journey to Nazareth and Jerusalem in Israel on a voyage to the Holy Land from Aug. 16, 2021, in addition to Cyprus, Turkey and Greece. The Silver Shadow will sail the Black Sea with overnights in Istanbul, Ukraine, Romania, Bulgari and Greece from Sept. 20, 2021. Plus, new 12-night voyages between Venice and Athens will include overnights in Istanbul.
