There’s something timeless about the Mediterranean. Its allure lies not just in its beauty, but in its stories – etched into ancient ruins, whispered through coastal winds, and served up on sun-warmed plates of food. In 2026, Silversea invites you to experience the Mediterranean through a new lens: one that prizes intimacy over crowds, culture over clichés, and the kind of personalised luxury that makes every moment feel unforgettable.

Debuting in 2023, Silver Nova is the first ship in Silversea's Nova-class and the 12th ship to join the fleet.
With six exquisite ships sailing the region – including the show-stopping Nova-class vessels Silver Nova and Silver Ray – Silversea’s Mediterranean collection for 2026 is its most ambitious yet. These are small ships with big reach, designed to slip effortlessly into lesser-known ports, linger longer in iconic destinations, and offer a slower, richer, more connected way to cruise.

Silversea invites you to rediscover the Mediterranean in a whole new light.
At the heart of the offering are itineraries that span the full breadth of the Mediterranean’s magic. Begin in Monte Carlo and trace the coast to Barcelona, where glamorous boulevards give way to Gaudí’s fantastical cityscapes. Journey roundtrip from Venice, weaving through the Adriatic to uncover Croatia’s walled cities and the sun-kissed charm of the Dalmatian Coast. From Athens, discover the cradle of Western civilisation and explore the Greek islands in the off-season glow of October – when the crowds have thinned but the warmth remains.

Silversea’s 2026 Mediterranean collection is its boldest and most breathtaking to date.
Other voyages delve deeper into the cultural crossroads of the western Mediterranean. Sail from Lisbon to Rome and witness the contrast of Moorish palaces and Renaissance splendour. Or board in Barcelona for a roundtrip that lets you soak up Spain’s culinary and artistic heritage at a relaxed, unhurried pace. Nice to Nice offers an ideal snapshot of the French and Italian Rivieras, while Rome to Barcelona captures the soul of the Mediterranean – from the Vatican’s grandeur to the Gothic Quarter’s quiet corners.

Silversea’s intimate vessels take you closer—to culture, to history, to beauty.
Silversea’s smaller ships mean you’ll often dock closer to the heart of the action, whether it’s disembarking within walking distance of Dubrovnik’s Old Town walls, or waking up to views of a sleepy Sicilian port that big ships bypass altogether. And thanks to thoughtfully extended port stays – including overnights in major cities – you’ll have time to go beyond the postcard sights and discover the nuances of each destination.

Silversea's service is second-to-none, promising a rejuvenating journey every time.
Sailing in the off-season, from October through March, brings another layer of depth. The Mediterranean feels more intimate then – quieter, cooler, and more authentic. Locals return to their rhythms, cities breathe a little more freely, and travellers are rewarded with space to explore at leisure. It’s the perfect time to rediscover well-loved places or fall in love with new ones.
