I n 1994, Silversea set out on our pioneering journey to curate the world’s most enriched travel experience that pushed the boundaries of what experiential travel could mean.
To celebrate 30 years of Silversea we invite you to look through the lens of contemporary photographer, Steve McCurry, who since 2017, has captured ongoing chronicles of milestone destinations that have established the legacy of Silversea. 30 images, taken by McCurry during Silversea voyages, are on display aboard the new Nova-class ships. And on 21-26 September, Sotheby’s will highlight 10 of the 30 photographs spanning Antarctica to Easter Island, Italy to Japan, Tahiti to Papua New Guinea.

Venice represents Silversea’s iconic Italian heritage and so was the natural birthplace of Silversea's famous Venetian Society. This exclusive community for our guests enables members to contribute actively to product and service design, while also enjoying the benefits of their status as loyal guests.
In this year, Silversea proudly set sail on its first World Cruise – a voyage destined to become the most iconic and luxurious product in our portfolio and a gold standard for the entire cruising industry. From the Bahamas to Monte Carlo, Madagascar was one of Silversea's most exotic and memorable ports of call on this historic journey.
Silversea continued to define its role as a pioneer in the ultra-luxury cruise sector. In this year, we took our guests for the very first time to the remote shores of Easter Island in unparalleled comfort and in the company of world-renown destination experts. Before Silversea, no cruise line had ever landed here.
Silversea unlocked ultra-luxury expedition voyages to Antarctica. Since then, Antarctica has become one of our most iconic destinations. Here, we keep pushing the boundaries, inventing new products to enhance our guests’ exploration of this remote and remarkable continent.
Since 2013, Silversea has continued to push the boundaries of exploration further by reaching more remote destinations on the planet, and making even more meaningful discoveries for our brand – sharing unforgettable experiences with the people there, which are more valuable than simply visiting these unique places. Bonding with foreign cultures is still one of the most enriching experience our guests can enjoy while travelling with Silversea.
Silversea fulfilled its brand ambition again this year to be far more than a cruise line. Mongolia was one of the eight land programs of our Couture Collection: a project which stretched the brand experience far into this dramatic country offering the most luxurious land program here every associated with a cruise.
As the world exited the pandemic, Silversea introduced Silver Moon and our unique, world-famous culinary programme S.A.L.T. (Sea And Land Taste) – fulfilling our brand promise in iconic destinations such as Greece to enable our guests to connect more closely with local cultures by immersing them more deeply in the food traditions of each region.
To become the most knowledgeable cruise line in the region, Silversea sourced our expedition experts locally this year to provide the most authentic and immersive cultural experiences here to date – moments that stay with our guests forever.
Sailing against expectation, our Controtempo World Cruise 2025 will enable guests to visit incredible destinations out of season, to uncover their more authentic and less expected nature.
In 2024, Silversea began a scouting mission to unlock even more remote destinations around the world, to develop the premiere discovery program in 2026. Our planet still has so much to offer, which is why we remain committed to fulfilling our guests’ curiosity and uncovering the authentic beauty of this world wherever we go.
