Why Choose This Voyage?

Silversea’s 2029 World Cruise is unusually focused on the Pacific rather than attempting a traditional global circumnavigation.
The 125-day voyage travels from San Diego to Singapore through Hawaii, French Polynesia, the South Pacific, New Zealand, Australia and an extensive exploration of Asia. Silversea describes the voyage as visiting 61 ports across 19 countries.

Japan and East Asia receive particularly extensive coverage.
Silver Whisper visits Osaka and Tokyo before continuing through Miyako, Aomori, Hakodate, Kanazawa, Maizuru and Sakaiminato, followed by Busan, Incheon, Shanghai and Hong Kong. This creates a substantial Asia-focused portion rather than a handful of calls on the way to another region.

The South Pacific combines major destinations with smaller and more remote islands.
The itinerary includes Hawaii, the Marquesas, Fakarava, Rangiroa, Bora Bora, Motu Tapu, Raiatea, Samoa, Fiji and New Caledonia before reaching New Zealand.

Australia and New Zealand are explored in considerable depth.
The itinerary includes Auckland, Tauranga, Christchurch, Dunedin, Bluff, scenic cruising in Doubtful and Milford Sounds, Sydney, Hobart, Melbourne, Phillip Island, Adelaide, Port Lincoln, Esperance, Albany, Busselton and Fremantle.

Six exclusive World Cruise experiences add major cultural events throughout the journey.
These range from a pre-cruise celebration in San Diego and an evening at Honolulu’s ʻIolani Palace to events in Tasmania, the Philippines, Tokyo and Bangkok, including a complimentary overland experience to see the Terracotta Warriors in Xi’an.

Is This Voyage Right for You?


Choose the Silversea 2029 World Cruise if the Pacific and Asia are more important to you than completing a traditional circumnavigation.

The itinerary is deliberately concentrated on these regions, ending in Singapore rather than continuing through the Indian Ocean, Africa and Europe.

Consider the amount of time at sea carefully. The voyage includes 45 sea days, with some longer ocean passages early in the itinerary, particularly between San Diego, Hawaii and French Polynesia.

The sea days become less dominant as the itinerary reaches Australia and Asia.

The eight published segments also provide substantial flexibility.

Travelers unable to commit to the full 125-day Silversea World Cruise can choose individual routes ranging from 12 to 19 nights, covering different parts of the Pacific and Asia.

It is especially well suited to travelers who want significant destination variety within the Pacific.

Remote islands such as Nuku Hiva and Fakarava sit alongside Sydney, Tokyo, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Singapore, creating a mix of small destinations and major cities.

It may particularly appeal to travelers who want a smaller ship for a long World Cruise.

Silversea specifically positions Silver Whisper as one of the smaller luxury ships to host a World Cruise and highlights its ability to reach more secluded ports.

Its smaller scale is particularly relevant to the 2029 World Cruise.
