From natural marvels to high-profile cultural and sporting events, Silversea's access to once-in-a-lifetime events and festivals immerses guests into the culture and history of each destination.
“Silversea's voyages are designed to place our guests at the heart of the world's most iconic celebrations and natural phenomena,” said Bert Hernandez, president, Silversea.
“Whether it's the adrenaline of the Monaco Grand Prix or the quiet beauty of cherry blossom season in Japan, we are consistently pushing boundaries in experiential travel to deliver rare access to immersive events and festivals.”
Unforgettable moments, unmatched access
Silversea offers the broadest destination offering in cruise travel, enabling guests to access more than 900 destinations on all seven continents. The brand often coincides visits to the most enriching destinations with cultural festivals and events, and the most spectacular natural phenomena, enabling travelers to gain a deeper understanding of the local customs and landscapes.
Silversea crafts a range of exclusive experiences to enable unique access to events, including:
- Rio Carnival (Rio De Janeiro, Brazil): Joy bursts from Rio the Janeiro's famed Carnival, as guests take in the celebration's massive floats, elaborate costumes, and hundreds of dancers performing choreographed routines to samba themes. In 2026, Silver Whisper's voyage from Buenos Aires to Rio de Janeiro, will offer guests an up-close view of the dazzling spectacle, beginning with a scenic drive to the famed Sambódromo, to witness the celebration of rhythm, color, and culture from reserved grandstand seating.
- Monaco Grand Prix (Monaco): During this voyage from Rome to Barcelona, Silversea's guests can witness one of the world's most prestigious races with unique access, enjoying the pinnacle of motorsport entertainment against the backdrop of the French Riviera. Silversea places guests just steps away from the high speeds of the legendary circuit from three unique vantage points, including a private rooftop, apartment terrace or grandstand seating.
- Edinburgh Military Tattoo (Edinburgh, United Kingdom): Silversea's expert guides will immerse guests in Scotland's biggest, best-selling spectacle. Guests on board Silver Spirit's 2026 voyage will journey into the heart of Edinburgh for premier seating at the legendary Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo. They may also choose to dine inside the castle and have a unique behind-the-scenes experience. Framed by the floodlit grandeur of Edinburgh Castle, this stirring performance showcases over 800 performers in a dazzling display of military precision and pageantry.
- New Year (Funchal, Madeira & Hong Kong, China): Whether anchored in coastal Madeira during this Silver Muse voyage or along Hong Kong's Victoria Harbor during this sailing from Singapore to Hong Kong, Silversea's guests can ring in the New Year with a stunning display of fireworks in some of the world's most iconic spots, as celebratory spectacles stretch across the horizon. Bathed in color and light, travelers will toast to the New Year with a perfect view from the sea.
- Japanese Cherry Blossom (Japan): As winter melts into spring, Japan transforms into a breathtaking canvas of soft pink and white. With roundtrip voyages to Tokyo on both Silver Moon and Silver Nova aligned to the sakura's peak bloom, Silversea invites guests to witness this fleeting yet unforgettable spectacle, as the country becomes awash in delicate cherry blossoms, symbolizing renewal and beauty. Guests can also enjoy cherry blossom-themed meals, visit kombu facilities, and dine at kappo restaurants as part of Silversea's S.A.L.T program.
- Venice Carnival (Venice, Italy): Guests can journey to a grand masquerade ball by private, torch-lit water taxi, as part of this exclusive Silversea experience on Silver Muse's journey from Venice to Rome. For one evening, the Scuola Grande di San Giovanni Evangelista – one of the city's most legendary venues – closes its doors to the public, offering baroque performances and a historical supper exclusively for Silversea guests.
- Total Solar Eclipse (Mediterranean Sea): Silversea's Silver Shadow will become a floating observatory during this round-trip voyage from Nice when one of nature's most awe-inspiring moments takes shape in August 2026. Anchored directly in the path of totality, guests will witness the moon eclipsing the sun, from the heart of the Mediterranean Sea.
Silversea also offers unique access to events such as Spain's Semana Santa Lorca, the Nice Carnival in France, Norway's Martnan Food Fair, La Fête de la Musique in Monaco, and the arrival of Fall in Canada and New England, among others.
Celebrating culture across continents
Speaking to the brand's commitment To Finding More, Silversea's diverse offering of World Cruises and Grand Voyages provides travelers with prime cultural access through an array of exclusive events.
During The Curious and the Sea World Cruise 2026, for example, guests will delve into the cultures of French Polynesia in a tropical beach setting, witness a fusion of cultural rituals on Vanuatu's Mystery Island, dine among Bali's rice paddies, and journey into the backwaters of Alleppey. They will enjoy the famous South African hospitality at the world-class Vergelegen Conservatory and a feast of flowers in Funchal, Madeira.
During the World Cruise 2027 – The Three Oceans – guests will explore the Pacific, Indian and Atlantic Oceans, with a focus on the cultures, histories and ideas of each. These exclusive events include a traditional Ho'olaule'a sunset celebration honoring Polynesian culture, a journey to Africa's world-famous Victoria Falls, and a musical performance at St. Anne's Cathedral in Belfast.
In 2028, Silversea's 132-day World Cruise, An Ode to the Moment, will bring guests to engage with the vibrant rhythms and traditions of South America, with an exclusive cultural event in Peru's Pedro de Osma Museum, as well as Silversea's signature hospitality at Rio de Janeiro's iconic Carnival, highlighting each country's thrilling connection to music and dance.
