Enjoy travelling around the world
The oceans are always calling and looking to see who answers — and for many travelers, the ultimate answer is to take a cruise around the world. On Silversea’s World Cruise 2026, called “The Curious and the Sea: Discover How the World Was Discovered,” you can follow in the footsteps of historic explorers, becoming intimately acquainted with the primordial waters of the modern world and the stories behind each destination. Sailing on board Silver Dawn, guests will depart Fort Lauderdale on January 6, 2026, and arrive in Lisbon on May 27, 2026, recapturing the pioneering spirit of navigators from the past, exploring distant lands, diverse traditions, and delectable cuisine across six continents. The 140-day cruise calls at 58 ports in 30 countries.
