Silversea has announced that it officially embarked on its Grand Voyage Mediterranean 2025, a 55-day immersion through cities such as Venice, Dubrovnik and Naples, as well as hidden gems like Kotor and Trapani.

From September 24 to November 18, the Silver Spirit will sail to 45 destinations across 12 countries.

“Our 45-destination Grand Voyage Mediterranean 2025 gives our guests the rare luxury of time to experience this iconic region like a local,” said Bert Hernandez, president at Silversea.
