What: A seven-night Mediterranean cruise aboard Silver Nova with Silversea and Signature Travel Network.

Where: Roundtrip from Athens, visiting seven ports throughout Greece and Turkey.

When: August 16-23, 2026.

Why: It’s a remarkable blend of epic history, island charm, and elegant cruising. You’ll visit spots that feel straight out of a postcard, from the delightful seaside town of Gythion and the Olympic roots of Katakolon to Santorini’s bucket-list sunsets and the lively markets of Bodrum. Onboard, the suites are beautifully spacious, the butler service is effortlessly attentive, and the all-inclusive approach is indulgent yet smart, inviting you to savor the experience without a second thought.

Australia & New Zealand by Sea
This journey blends breathtaking landscapes, fascinating culture, and seamless luxury—without lifting a finger. There are limited suites remaining for this epic voyage, so now’s the time to lock it in.


What: A 14‑night Australia & New Zealand voyage aboard Silver Moon with Silversea and WhirlAway Vice President & Luxury Travel Advisor Sara Samuel.


Where:
From Auckland to Sydney,   visiting 12 ports throughout New Zealand and Australia.


When:
January 31-February 14, 2027.


Why:
This is a voyage you simply couldn’t recreate on land without spending far more. You’ll stand beneath the towering peaks of Milford and Doubtful Sounds, wander the striking Art Deco streets of Napier, explore Tauranga’s volcanic landscapes, trace Gisborne’s rich Maori heritage, marvel at Eden’s dramatic coastline, and so much more—all of it seamlessly woven together with Silversea’s signature luxury. With WhirlAway host Sara Samuel on board, you’ll have the best of both worlds: The camaraderie of familiar faces and the freedom to chart your own course. Dine whenever and with whomever you choose, spend your days exploring independently, and trade stories over cocktails in the evening.
