Silversea Cruises proposes two itineraries in 2025 through the Far East and French Polynesia that will not leave any traveler indifferent who is eager for exploration, but with the luxury and distinction that is the hallmark of the company.
Far Eastern itineraries offer destinations from Hong Kong to the idyllic beaches of Keelung and the cultural treasures of Manila and Vigan. A combination of fascinating destinations, luxury services, and unforgettable experiences. An example would be the following:
Far East (January 21, 2025) aboard the Silver Whisper
In January 2025, passengers aboard the Silver Whisper will explore a series of exotic destinations, from the metropolis of Hong Kong to the hidden gems of the Philippine Islands.
The journey begins in Hong Kong, the gateway to the East, a city of contrasts, from futuristic skyscrapers to traditional temples, a unique blend of tradition and modernity that captivates its visitors.
After a day in international waters, the next stop is Keelung, a tropical paradise located in the Indian Ocean with white sand beaches and crystal clear waters, where you can relax and enjoy nature.
Continuing its journey, the Silver Whisper will head to Kaohsiung, Taiwan's second-largest city, where you can discover its vibrant cultural scene, traditional cuisine, and bustling port. The next destination is Manila, where the ship will spend the night. The vibrant capital of the Philippines boasts a rich Spanish colonial history, stunning architecture, and bustling markets.
After a full day in Manila, the itinerary continues to Coron, an archipelago located in northern Palawan, famous for its stunning underwater landscapes and historic shipwrecks. Passengers will have the opportunity to snorkel in crystal-clear waters and explore the remains of Japanese shipwrecks, hike Mount Tapyas, and explore Coron aboard a local boat.
The next stop will take travelers to Vigan, a historic town with cobblestone streets, Spanish colonial houses, and horse-drawn carriages.
After exploring these exciting destinations, the itinerary comes to an end with the return to Hong Kong. Guests of the Silver Whisper will have the opportunity to enjoy one last night in this city before disembarking after their Far Eastern adventure.
Other well-known destinations for Silversea are those visited on its cruises through French Polynesia, itineraries full of crystal-clear waters, paradisiacal beaches and green landscapes, where you can rest from modern and saturated life in the islands of the South Pacific, such as the following:
French Polynesia (March 13, 2025) aboard the Silver Shadow
This is a 14-day itinerary through this natural paradise, offering both adventure and relaxation. Departure is on March 13, 2025, from Papeete, the heart of this tropical paradise in French Polynesia and its capital.

After a day at sea, the next destination will be Atuona, a commune on Hiva Oa in the Marquesas Islands. Guests will be welcomed with a traditional ceremony that includes dances, group singing, and the percussive rhythms of the pahu drum.

The ship will set sail for Aitutaki, known for its white sand beaches and turquoise waters, and described as "the most beautiful island in the world." New among the activities offered on this island is a jeep safari to learn about its history.
Nearing the end of the journey, Rarotonga will welcome the Silver Shadow. Surrounded by its coral reef and distinguished by its mountainous landscape, it is the largest island in the Cook Islands.
The final destination before returning to Papeete will be Moorea Island, "Tahiti's sister island," where you can see dolphins, among other activities. Finally, on March 26, the ship will arrive back in Papeete after exploring French Polynesia.
