Silversea’s upcoming 596-guest vessel Silver Dawn will spend its inaugural season in the Mediterranean, it has been revealed.

The ship will depart Civitavecchia (Rome) on 22 September 2021, before cruising the Mediterranean and then crossing to Fort Lauderdale.

Guests sailing on the inaugural voyage will visit Italy, Greece, Montenegro and Croatia, before arriving in Venice on 1 October 2021. Prices start from £4,900pp, based on two sharing.

Following this, the ship will sail a 12-night Venice-Piraeus (Athens) itinerary, taking in Split, Dubrovnik, Corfu, Argostoli on Cephalonia, Souda Bay in Crete, and Rhodes. Prices start from £6,400pp, again based on two sharing.

From Piraeus there is a 10-night itinerary to Barcelona, departing 13 October 2021, which will call in Santorini, Valletta, Giardini Naxos (Taormina) in Sicily, Sorrento, Civitavecchia (Rome), and Livorno, before an overnight call in Monte Carlo. Prices start from £5,500pp.

The final Mediterranean cruise, priced from £4,900pp, is Barcelona-Lisbon, departing 23 October 2021 for 10 nights.

Silver Dawn will then depart Lisbon on 2 November for its inaugural crossing of the Atlantic Ocean, travelling to Fort Lauderdale. This will include an overnight call in San Juan. Prices start from £4,200pp.

Silversea chief marketing officer Barbara Muckermann said: “Inspired by the incredibly successful design of Silversea’s Silver Muse, our new Silver Dawn will bring innovation to ultra-luxury travel when she launches in September 2021.

“Guests have shared exceptional feedback on our beloved flagship. With the launch of Silver Dawn’s new itineraries, and with such an immersive array of experiences to be enjoyed across the Mediterranean on our pioneering new ship, we are sure our guests will love the chance to experience the new standard in ultra-luxury cruising.”

Silver Dawn is the sister ship to Silver Muse and Silver Moon, and will feature Silversea’s S.A.L.T. programme, which focuses on immersive travel experiences through culinary discovery.
