Exceptional voyages with Silversea

Home » Blog » Exceptional voyages with Silversea

29 January 2026

January is often when longer-term travel conversations really start to take shape. The festive rush has passed, diaries open up, and you might be thinking more seriously about trips that feel considered rather than last-minute.

That’s where Silversea Cruises consistently delivers. With intimate ships, a genuinely all-inclusive model and itineraries designed around experience rather than crowds, it’s an easy brand to position for clients seeking refined, well-paced luxury.

Below, we’ve highlighted a small selection of standout Silversea voyages – covering Mediterranean summer travel, a festive Caribbean escape and a landmark Antarctic expedition – each offering strong savings and added nights built in. Well-timed, well-priced, and ideal for opening meaningful planning conversations now.

Early summer is one of the best times to travel in the Mediterranean: warm but comfortable, lively without the peak-season crowds. This journey begins in Monte Carlo with a pre-cruise night to ease you in – time to explore the harbour, enjoy a long lunch or simply settle into the rhythm of the trip before boarding.

From there, the itinerary blends Riviera glamour with Italian character, typically calling at places like St-Tropez, Corsica and the Tuscan coast before finishing in Barcelona. Included shore excursions mean you can explore historic old towns, coastal landscapes and local food scenes without having to plan every detail yourself.

Onboard Silver Ray, Silversea’s newest ship, the atmosphere is modern and relaxed, with generous suites, excellent dining and a calm, intuitive service style. It’s ideal if you love the Mediterranean but want to experience it in a more refined, considered way.

If January usually feels like something to get through, this itinerary offers a much better alternative. Sailing roundtrip from Bridgetown, it’s designed for slowing down – warm seas, short sailing distances and a gentle rhythm that makes the festive period feel easy rather than hectic.

The route typically explores the Eastern Caribbean, with stops such as Bequia, Martinique, Guadeloupe, St Kitts, Antigua and St Lucia. Short sailing distances mean more time ashore, and each island brings something different – from French-influenced cuisine to rainforest interiors and relaxed beaches.

After the cruise, you’ll spend three nights at the Coral Reef Club, one of Barbados’ most quietly respected hotels. Elegant, low-key and wonderfully easy, it’s the perfect way to finish the trip – and a far better way to start the year feeling rested, warm and genuinely reset.

An up-close expedition to Antarctica

SAVE UP TO 30%
________________________________________
SAVE £4,170 per person
12 nights from £12,205 per person
________________________________________
Inclusions: 1 night pre-cruise and 1 night post-cruise in Santiago, Chile | 10-night expedition cruise onboard Silver Cloud (Vista Suite, all-inclusive) | Return flights Santiago – Puerto Williams | Guided Zodiac, land and sea tours | Private transfers | Economy flights from London
________________________________________Travel dates: 9–22 December 2026

Antarctica isn’t a destination you rush, and this expedition-style journey is designed to let you experience it properly. Departing from Puerto Williams, you’ll cross the Drake Passage before spending several days exploring the Antarctic Peninsula and South Shetland Islands, with landings and Zodiac excursions shaped by weather and ice conditions.

Days are spent ashore when possible, walking among penguin colonies, observing wildlife and taking in landscapes that feel vast, quiet, and genuinely untouched. Between excursions, expert guides and naturalists help you understand what you’re seeing – from wildlife behaviour to the region’s history and environment.

Silver Cloud is purpose-built for expedition travel, combining serious exploration with a high level of comfort. With flights, transfers and hotel stays in Santiago included at both ends, the journey feels seamless – allowing you to focus on the experience itself, rather than the logistics.
