Explore the enchanting Mediterranean
coastline with Silversea.
Many of the greatest empires in history emerged throughout the Mediterranean, so it’s little wonder some of Europe’s most enchanting cities and ancient landmarks are scattered across its shores. The Mediterranean is home to the birthplace of democracy, the medieval walls of Dubrovnik, the glitz and glamour of the French Riviera, the dreamy canals of Venice, and the archaeological treasures of Turkey — to name just a few. And since Silversea offers over 100 Mediterranean itineraries, you’re sure to find one that satisfies your wanderlust. Here are two of our favorites.

Venice (Fusina) to Rome (Civitavecchia)
Exceptional cities, emblematic landmarks, and old-world charm are all part of this unforgettable journey. Explore the waterfront shops, colorful facades, and peaceful canals unique to Venice, soak in the generous sunshine that bathes Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast, and meander through Dubrovnik’s stone fortress that seemingly rises from the sparkling Adriatic. Malta is home to the world’s highest density of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, plus dramatic cliffs, and stunning landscapes. The Mediterranean bliss continues in Corfu, a Greek island famed for its sweeping sand beaches and hidden coves. Then it’s back to Italy, where tangy limoncello, creamy ricotta, and pizza (the way it’s meant to be!) await in Sicily, Sorrento, and Rome.

Venice to Athens (Piraeus)
Nestled on the coast by the Slovenian border, Trieste’s grand piazzas and soaring artistic architectural achievements are some of the most legendary in all of Italy. With its glorious hidden coves, buzzing nightlife, and quietly contented port towns, Croatia’s newest hotspot, Hvar, is undeniably charming. In Montenegro, Kotor’s warren-like streets drip with history and authenticity, while Santorini’s cascade of azure domes and whitewashed buildings are relentlessly romantic. Travel back in time to 5th century BC and explore the columned temple of the Parthenon in Athens — the birthplace of democracy, arts, education, and philosophy.

S.A.L.T.
Designed to enhance travel through engaging encounters and local food culture, Silversea’s signature S.A.L.T. program features an onboard bar, kitchen, and test lab, and provides epicurean shore excursions. The S.A.L.T. Bar and S.A.L.T. Kitchen help guests elevate their taste in travel. Meanwhile, the S.A.L.T. Lab is an interactive cooking laboratory that provides guests the opportunity to create locally inspired dishes in a professional kitchen.
There’s no experience like a Silversea experience.

I have always been a Geography and Map Fanatic. I own a very large and well-utilized National Geographic Atlas in which I have recorded many notes and personal trips and routed out my journeys by ships, planes, trains, and cycling. I refer to it frequently in putting together my clients' trips and itineraries, as well as my own.
Going back to the time when I was a little girl, I have either lived just a few yards from the ocean or relatively close to it. I liked watching ships and wanted to know what life was like on the other side of the ocean. I was fascinated that my Grandmother came to the US on a ship as a teenage girl together with her sister from Ireland. Before my grandparents met in the US, my Grandfather from Ireland worked as a cowboy and copper miner in Montana at the turn of the 20th Century. They had many National Geographic issues at their home which I loved looking at. These impressions, plus taking my first cruise, all eventually led me to the cruise and travel ...
